Ma`rifat

The present research was conducted with the aim of strengthening interest, affection, and knowledge (ma'rifah) towards the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) among 32 second-grade students at Seddigheh Giva-Chian Girls' Elementary School, District 1, in the 2022-2023 academic year, in line with the Fundamental Reform Document of Education. The research model was qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach, and data collection methods included interviews, study, and observation of students' performance regarding their attention to and interest in the lives of the 14 Infallibles (AS). In fact, factors such as lack of access to books about the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), not studying religious matters, and low participation in religious ceremonies and gatherings had created a sense of distance between the students and the lives of these noble figures. Solutions such as adorning the classroom environment and enhancing the spiritual atmosphere of the school, enriching the classroom library resources on the lives of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and initiating the program of 'promoters of affection and knowledge for the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) in the family and community, resulted in increased affection and knowledge in the hearts and minds of the students. Implementing these solutions also promoted other objectives such as cooperation, increased self-confidence, and mutual respect among the students.
