The theoretical explanation of righteous society and city has always been one of the concerns of thinkers and trying to establish it has been the most important goal of social reformers. In this paper, which has been conducted based on the descriptive-analytical method; an attempt has been made to outline the various components of the righteous society based on the writings and works of Imam Musa Sadr as one of the religious-oriented social reformers. The theological, anthropological, sociological and ethical components form the most important foundations of his social thinking, the output of which is a society based on the idea of monotheism, in which all members of that society enjoy dignity, freedom, equality and justice while being equal before the law due to equality in creation and guides people towards the sublime and divine common goal.

The relationship between religion and civilization is one of the fundamental issues that, despite its great importance, has not been examined through a theoretical approach. The present paper seeks to deal with this issue from a theoretical point of view and to answer the question via a descriptive-analytical method that the type of attitude towards the relationship between religion and civilization and its extent is subject to which key variables. According to the findings of this study, two basic variables are involved in this direction. First, the type of attitude towards religion and its domain, and second, the type of definition of civilization and its aspects. On the one hand, the type of maximal or minimal approach in determining the domain of religion is directly effective in determining its relationship with civilization. On the other hand, the one-dimensional or two-dimensional definition in defining civilization plays a role in determining the type and extent of its relationship with religion. From the conflict of these attitudes with each other, three maximum, minimum and negative views about the relationship between religion and civilization are obtained, each of which analyzes this relationship from a different perspective.

Due to being contemporary with the challenging issues of the modern world and its consequences in the Islamic world, Allameh Tabatabaei has conducted a comparative study of Islam and the West in many religious, philosophical, social, and civilizational aspects. This worthy entry of his as a philosopher in the field of western studies is of great importance. Examining Allameh's methodological dimensions in Western studies, recognizing our relationship with the West, examining some important aspects of Allameh's Western studies, are important issues that are pursued in this study by referring to Allameh's works. Through analyzing the phenomenon of westernization, he considers correct Western studies possible with social thinking, and by using the comparative method, with a social approach and according to the theoretical foundations of the West, he shows the components of the external and internal face of the West. The epistemological consequence of modern otherness is followed in limiting science to a sensory approach and its tendency consequence is in confining pleasures and tendencies in low material matters. This historical materiality, which traces back to the church and the penetration problem, has led to the expansion of superstitions in Western civilization with the slogan of debunking superstitions. Finally, the element of liberalism and individualism has led Western thought from the "rational channel" to the "emotional channel" and has caused formalism and the weakening of the moral base and human values.

Its following components are included in different levels and topics (in normative sources) which can not only be considered as a guide for the performance of organizations and media activists, but also have the ability to be used in the field of evaluation.

Due to the importance of religious education in today's society, in addition to the important role that families play in the religious education of their children, the formal and public education system has also paid attention to the religious education of students. In other words, the two important institutions that play a fundamental role in the religious education of children are the family and the school. Considering that we live in a society with religious principles and rules, familiarity with religious education models, especially from the perspective of Islam, is one of the significant necessities of correct education of people towards the path of happiness. Since a large part of education takes place in schools, the teacher must be familiar with the models of religious education. This study aims to examine the role of religious education in schools and its uplifting effect on students; also, uplifting religious education has been analyzed and a model has been presented in this regard. This research is applied in terms of purpose and uses qualitative content analysis method. In this study, the required data were first extracted from the examination of Islamic texts. Then the data analysis was done in three stages of open, central and selective coding, and in the next stages, categorization, integration and refinement were done and the central category named "uplifting religious education model" was obtained. The findings of the study suggest that the most important models are considering critical thinking in religious education, considering the integrated system of development regarding the issue of religious education and including religious education in the curriculum.

Social relations among neighbors create peace of mind and support people to each other and improve the society. Today, due to population growth and lack of residential space, the emergence of apartment buildings and being away from traditional neighborhoods, the culture of neighborliness has changed. The prevalence of self-centered thinking and distancing from the culture of religious neighborliness in apartment living may cause social support to decrease and disturbances to occur. The current study tries to answer the question that "how can religious teachings be effective in organizing the relations and customs of apartment neighbors", to examine the concept of neighbor from the perspective of Quran and traditions and to analyze the roles of religion in relations with apartment neighbors. The findings of the study suggest that religion, with a comprehensive view, has shown attention to the relations of neighbors and has enumerated duties for communication with neighbors for the cohesion of the community and the peace of mind of individuals and the necessary support and the expansion of moral virtues and social norms. Paying attention to and implementing the orders of religion in relation to the neighbors in the apartment can be effective in organizing these relationships and personal health as well as promoting the Islamic society
