Achieving a desirable and ideal society which leads to man’s prosperity has always caused thinkers to propose Utopias. Meanwhile, it is necessary to propose a desirable society which has a revealed origin and which is unimaginative and be can come true. This research uses a descriptive – documentary method, and a content analysis method is used for analyzing the data. One of the main effective methods for realizing the whole society is paying attention to its main institutes and the relations between them. Offering the indices of a desirable society in the context of social institutes according to the view of Imam Sajjad (pbuh) is among the aims of this research.
In the eyes of Imam Sajjad (pbuh), an ideal society is one in which the human relations in social institution are based on divine values, and the distinguished characteristic of this desirable society is pursuing the path of servitude to God.
