Abstract Since the ideas of Islamic scholars regarding moral education are linked to the revelatory teachings, educational activists can take advantage of them. This research tries to explain the axiological methods, foundations and principles of moral education from Motahari’s point of view. The research method is descriptive-analytical. In order to collect the necessary data to achieve the research’s goals, the available and related sources have been compiled using index cards. According to the results of this research, some of the axiological foundations of Motahhari’s moral education are as follows: "the monotheistic spirituality of value, the realness and truthfulness of value, the validation of value by reason, the nature and the system of religious standards, the simultaneity of actual good and subjective good in their value"; which entail principles such as "connection with spirituality, moderation, happiness, paying attention to actual and subjective desirability" and methods such as "praying, discourse, presenting a model, and facilitating".
