The Quran’s guidance for the pious is among the issues that have long been the focus of interpretive attitude in all ways and attracted the commentators’ attention up to now. Why did the holy Quranic, which ascended to guide the people of the world, attributed its guidance to the pious? What is the purpose of guiding and pious in this verse? Does this imply the exclusive Quranic guidance to the pious? Comments of various commentators were divided into two main sections. Totally, five comments were categorized under these two sections, and they have been studied. The study concluded that the guidance to the pious is bilateral. That is to say, as the guidance of the pious is effective, virtuous conduct also has a considerable impact, and this is a special kind of guidance. In the Quranic treasure of knowledge, a guidance towards piety has found 3 positions. These three dimensions can play major roles in creation and the amount of the virtue. With reflection on such issues related to the guidance of the pious, multiple results will be achieved. It could be concluded that the pious needed the divine guidance from the very beginning and benefited from this guidance, and they enjoyed two sources of the divine guidance entitled as the primary and secondary guidance.

Spiritual Guardianship is one of the highest levels of Guardianship in the issue of the Imamat which is realized by Devine permission through spiritual dominance of Imam over people. Spiritual Guardianship is a kind of spiritual authority and dominancethat is obtained by divine permission for Imamthrough passing of the path of thraldom and reaching the proximity of Allah. In view of Allameh Tabatabai, Guardianship is different other than Prophecy, Caliphate, recommended successor (executer/Vasi) or Imamate which it means religious authority and political leadership.In addition to the appearance of life, human being possesses an inward and spiritual life and he needs special guidance and specific instructions from Imams to reach to the highest status. Allameh Tabatabai believes that Imamate status is superior to Prophecy andsome particular prophets and special people can obtain the competency of being Imam after passing of different phases and hard tests of competence. Imam guides people with inward guidance by divine permission and he leads well-prepared human beings to real and divine ideal and divine destination by possession of his guardianship.Allameh is called this guidance ascommand guidance.Thisresearch is a descriptive and library study that it seeks to explore the different aspects of inward guidance and Imam’s spiritual Guardianship Allameh Tabatabai particularly in his book, Tafsir al-Mizan by analyzing of the text.

Islamic management is one of the necessities of an Islamic society. Therefore, any Islamic society requires a management system which is in line with Islamic patterns and is at the service of the Islamic society. Different schools of thought have provided differing definitions of management of which they have certain expectations. Islam, too, has a particular attitude towards management and has laid out certain criteria for that. We can get to know these criteria through the study of Quranic verses and the traditions and narrations of the immaculate Imams; the present paper aims at identifying Islam’s perspective on management.
