Abstract  
Human being is a creature who inherently identifies him/herself as a creature with dignity and thus seeks the respect of others. Preserving this dignity as a natural right, has been the basis for religious ides and courses and some human laws such as universal declaration of human rights. This right has constantly been among the needs and desires of human beings and depriving from it hinders humans from growth and perfection. In other words, dignity plays a fundamental role in change, evolution and perfection of human beings and the society.
A large number of Hadith from Imam Reza (AS) as well as his life style and manners indicate that how elements of dignity help the human beings to fulfill their prime. The main question, then, is that from Imam Reza (AS) point of view how this role is played.
Studies show that Imam considers a basic fundamental role for the components of human dignity including devotion, rationality, seeking freedom and justice and gratitude as any of them affect human perfection in different levels.
The first level, devotion, leads to the comprehension of God where the foundation of such cognition, is to believe in God's unity. Rationality, both in theory and practice, brings a perception of the truth and observing that truth in humans' deeds. Freedom seeking prevents inaction and indolence in various aspects of life: individual, social, political, etc. Righteousness and seeking justice results in not committing acts such as corruption, lying, and bribery. Lastly, true gratitude is achievable through taking certain steps like faith, believe in God's unity, and serving people.
There are many components to human dignity all of which we are unable to explain in this article. With an analytical-descriptive method, this document surveys only a number of these components in Islamic Opinion and then traces and elucidates their impacts on human perfection from the point of view of Imam Reza (AS).

Abstract The element of love is one of the lost things to the modern man, a loss to human societies. With developing the industrial life and human’s increasing preoccupations, spiritual and innate aspects of life are being neglected. The Razavi culture, which is the same culture of Quran and Itrat (Ahllul-Bayt), can fill in the gaps.
This article deals with the question that ‘what the dimensions of love in Razavi culture is’. Obviously, our main emphasis is on Theoretical and Practical Wisdom (hikmah) acquired from Razavi teachings, so that we can portray a monotheistic and loving relationship between human being and God, then with other creatures. With an analytical-descriptive method and library referencing way of collecting information, the article has a problem-centred approach to the issue.

Abstract An important goal sought by holy prophets and their successors was to establish good life or ideal society. Although the term "Utopia" meaning the Idealized City is not mentioned in the Holy Quran or any other narrative texts, this issue is deeply rooted in the prophets' teachings and many verses and narratives regarding the objective and quality of ideal life or Hayat-e-Tayeba lead us towards it. From Holy Quran's point of view and as mentioned in many narratives by the Infallibles (Masoumin), achieving an Ideal Society is not only possible, but the main goal sought by the prophets.
The main question proposed by this article is what the features of the Ideal Society in Razavi Culture are. Quran and Ahl-al-Bayt are the two legacies left by the Holy Prophet and Imam Reza (PBUH), as a member of the Prophet's family, inherits from holy prophets and previous Imams. Both theoretically and practically, they struggled to realize this goal. This article examines the most important features of the Ideal Society as expected in Razavi Culture which include: objectivity, justice, beneficence, rule of Imam, development of knowledge and economic growth.
