Developing a vision and planning for bright futures in a way that will envisage growth and progress form the first and most fundamental step in designing the structure of any organization and institution. However, in spite of all efforts aimed at elevating the institution of university to the desired status of a university in our country, and in spite of all the concerns for Islamicizing universities as sacred institutions, the vision for a university whose values are based on Islamic teachings is not adequately developed yet. This paper therefore aims to have a look on general aspects of concepts of vision and Islamic university in order to determine the main characteristics of an Islamic university and the indicators for developing a vision for such a university. It also refers to the Qur’an verses and Islamic narrations from ahl ul-bayt [the fourteen Infallibles in the belief of Shi‘a] and makes inferences from these teachings to present an adequate vision for and a befitting picture of an Islamic university. This study introduces the Islamic university as an institution with five key aspects: academic identity, religious orientation, research capacity, efficiency for the society, and satisfaction-centeredness. It then develops an ideal vision for an Islamic University based on four indicators which, together, propose a model for an Islamic type of university. They include: knowledge, capability, goodness, and beauty.

This study is an attempt to investigate sexual perversion and its subsequent issues. It aims to offer some preventive solutions to this problem on the basis of Islamic teachings. The data were collected using the library research method. Then, verses of the Holy Qur’an and collections of hadith were analyzed, and the findings were studied. They suggested that Islam offers not only individual but also social solutions to sexual perversion. The former covers marrying, controlling girls’ behaviors, giving children some instructions, and teaching them to seek permission when entering. Offering social solutions, Islam orders the governmental entities to facilitate marriage, cut marriage age, and take the tough line with its opponents.
