By examining the stages of the Holy Prophet’s call (Daʿwah) in the works of historians from the past to the present, we can see that most of them explicitly or implicitly believe in three stages: "Secret Call", "Calling the Relatives" and "Public Call".
A few people have taken a wider range of stages with more precision and looking at the period after the migration to Madinah; but there has been no regular division of call stages on a unit basis. In this article, based on the development of the geography of the Prophet’s (pbuh) call and the scope of the audience, the stages of call are divided into six successive and interconnected stages: "private call", " calling the relative", "public call", "regional call", "transregional call" and "global call"; and we have put all the initial stages as a prelude to reaching the final stage of daʿwah, which is based on the global mission of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and the spread of Islam.

From the first centuries of Islam until now, many writings and books have been written about the issue of the succession of the Prophet (pbuh), the Imamate of the Ahl al-Bayt (as), as well as the controversies surrounding them, especially among the Shiites. It seems that many of the ambiguities and controversies surrounding the issue of Imamate between Sunnis and Shiites or other Islamic sects, apart from some of their different jurisprudential and theological foundations, are due to the lack of a correct scientific method, and the lack of clarity in the logic of the concepts and issues surrounding Imamate and its margins. Therefore, it is appropriate for researchers and thinkers to consider some of the necessary methodological considerations for Imamate issues. On the other hand, every scientific issue and consequently every religious issue, with the passage of time and the opening of new spheres of thought, needs new analysis and new reflections. These reflections on the issue of Imamate can also influence some prejudices as well as entering into disputes and their results in this issue. In this article, some of the methodological issues required in the issue of Imamate and the logic of proving Imamate, with an example mentioned at the end, have been considered and explained.

One of the problems of humans throughout the ages is choosing the right path from the wrong one. The more correct the choices are and the more knowledge they have, the more people can follow the path of happiness. Man can walk the path of his happiness correctly. One of the main tools to recognize the right path is to have insight into that path or topic. The role of insight throughout history and in influential events is undeniable. There have been many rulers who have changed the fate of a nation due to lack of insight. But in the modern era, human problems have become more complicated, the role of insight should be more colorful; therefore, this article will analyze the role of insight in contemporary human life with a descriptive and analytical method and by referring to Quranic verses and specific interpretations including Tafsīr Tasnīm. In this regard, firstly, the definition of insight has been defined, then the necessity and benefit of insight has been presented according to the verses and views of the commentators, then the ways of gaining insight have been discussed. Finally, insight is a gift from Allah the Almighty and is of the nature of perception, which is not an acquired knowledge, and it should be achieved by thinking about Allah's verses; and if the common people achieve it to some extent, many problems of human society will be solved.

In this study, using Imam Ali's (as) ethical advices to the rulers in Nahj al-Balāghah, and comparing them with the component of ethical code of conduct, which is one of the components of professionalism, the difference between his recommendations and the moral code of the professionalism is revealed, based on the four human communication behaviors. The findings of this study show that Imam Ali's (as) advices to the rulers in the holy communication behavior include glorifying Allah and tendency to the resurrection, in theoretical point, and performing religious duties and prayers on time and etc., in practical point. His advice related to interpersonal communication behavior of rulers can be divided into two categories: communication with people on the one hand and communication with the organization, employees and high-ranking officials on the other hand. The general recommendations of Imam Ali (as) in maintaining trustworthiness, optimal use of blessings and avoiding corruption in the land are to explain the extra-personal communication of managers. From the analysis of these findings, it can be concluded that the recommendations of Imam Ali (as) in holy communication behavior are completely different and play a central role for the implementation of the recommendations of the other three communication behaviors. From his point of view, god-centeredness and hereafter-orientation, which is achieved by fulfilling divine obligations and avoiding forbidden things and the like, can be an executive guarantee for creating constructive and good communication behaviors in the intra-personal, interpersonal and extra-personal areas of managers.

From Imam Khomeini's point of view, in order to achieve wisdom and become wise, one must first cultivate the soul. Imam Khomeini (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) has explained its method completely, then, one should prepare the ground for the appearance of wisdom and becoming a sage with solutions Undoubtedly, real knowledge and genuine wisdom are not possible without the care of the truth, but man's effort and knowing the exact way to reach the source of wisdom and applying it in his behavior and action will be effective and will finally bring him to his purpose.

One of the main problems in the field of human resources and the growth of organizations is the category of administrative violations. The model of deterrence of administrative violations was performed based on the religious teachings. The methodology used in this research is a qualitative method of exploratory type and to achieve the purpose of the research, content analysis method and book Nahj al-Balāghah were used. For validation and also confirmation of qualitative findings, we used 15 seminary experts in a targeted manner. Based on the findings of qualitative data, 348 sub-themes in compliance with the semantic principle, especially Izutsu, in three categories (prevention 254 sub-themes, promotion 60 themes and exposure (treatment) 34 themes) regarding prevention of administrative violations extracted. The frequency of sub-themes in the prevention class was 73%, enhancement: 17.2% and exposure (treatment): 9.8%. Finally, during consultation with seminary experts and specialists, they were categorized into 7 main themes and 34 sub-themes according to the common areas and being of the same type.  As a result, the model of deterrence of administrative violations was designed on the religious teachings based on the obtained themes.
