Educational Significations of 'Prohibition of Self-humiliation' as a Jurisprudential Principle

The present research has been done to study the 'prohibition of selfhumiliation' as a general jurisprudential principle as well as to scrutinize its educational significations. Studies show that, despite the signification of the jurisprudential principle in sorting out and applying the rules, there are still some other rules and principles which have not been extracted or become well-known among jurists as a jurisprudential principle. One of them is "the prohibition of humiliating oneself [qa'eda ezlal al-nafs]". This research has been done in a descriptive-analytical way using references and library resources. Findings show that religious premises and concepts are general and inclusive and they have the capacity to be applied wherever necessary. The prohibition of self-humiliation can be considered as a preventive educational principle in both individual and social dimensions. The educational implications, therefore, include the necessity of a trainee's adaptation to human nature, the educational principle of self-avoidance in the face of moral evil, the principle of dignity and freedom, the principle of social dignity, and preservation of national authority.
