An Approach to the Mhadavi Ethic

Due to the lack of understanding of ethical values, and absolute hereafter look of it, the current educational system, does not have the capability to pave the way for the Appearance and training of the individuals to be able to live with the Imam of the Age (m.a.h.h.a.).
