Religious teaching is the most important request that one should ask God in any case, and this, in addition to creating the courage to break the limited material barriers, teach us to ask God to be persistent in the way of virtues and goodness; not turning to one side every day and every moment, and not to arouse our passions for different things. The present study focuses on the subject of cognitive functions of religious teachings in the universe, which has been collected using note-taking method, library studies, and descriptive-analytical sources. This article first defines the terms religious teaching and cognitive functions terms and then identifies the cognitive functions of religious teaching in the universe. The achievements and results of the research are: Cognitive-individual functions of religious teaching including: cognitive function of realizing the divine power in the organization of the universe, cognitive function of belief in God in doubts, cognitive function of paying attention to obedience and prostration before the Almighty God, cognitive function of the emphasis on the absence of the universe at sunrise and life and death, and the cognitive function of thinking and learning. The cognitive-social functions of religious teaching are: the cognitive function of understanding the greatness of divine creation in informing the deniers of resurrection, the cognitive function of understanding of God’s power in taking revenge from the deniers of monotheism and resurrection, the cognitive function of guiding human beings in the creation of the shadow and the sun.

A brief look at the Holy Qur’an demonstrates that each single verse brims with illuminative and innovative lessons; therefore, Muslims must tap this valuable educational source to facilitate the growth of the Islamic nation. This research aims to locate educational innovations in the Holy Qur’an in three forms of analogy, allegory, and addressing. It also aims to exploit the findings to train humans displaying Islamic behavior. Conducting a library research, the researchers came to the following conclusions: 1- The Holy Qur’an brims with innovations in education and teaching. 2- Exemplary humans trained on the basis of these innovations are given in the Holy Qur’an. 3- Tapping these innovations helps to introduce exemplary humans to other societies.

This study uses library research methodology to investigate how to strengthen the family ties using the Prophet’s life as a model. Emphasizing the critical position of families, this paper seeks to enumerate goals of family formation aimed at meeting the material, spiritual and mental needs of human beings including their need for peace and security. As stated in this study, to reach the sublime goals and objectives of Islam and to protect and maintain their very existence one needs to seriously take care of the family law as stipulated in Islam. It is therefore necessary that all the plans and policy makings be in line with the promotion and interest of the institution of family, and meanwhile the job and occupation of family members should be clearly defined and provided for. Finally, this paper clarifies the role of the holy motivations behind occupation of the family members and reviews the life of the Prophet (pbuh) and his living expenses through religious literature. The above are only few of the many internal and external factors in family relations which can be implemented using the life of the prophets and especially the Prophet of Islam and the Infallible Imams as the model in life.

According to the teachings of the Holy Quran, purification (tazkīyah) and education (ta’līm) are the two basic principles for the discipline of human beings, out of which purification is of a higher significance. Knowledge resembles some seeds the growth of which requires a suitable ground and purification serves as the ground for a perfect growth of such seeds without which knowledge will be partial and insufficient or even misleading. This study uses an analytic-descriptive methodology to review the Quranic verses concerning purification and education and the significance and the relation between these two Quranic concepts.

Modern man, especially modern youth, suffers from numerous moral and psychological problems due to cultural invasionsand secular propaganda. These problems are due to the fact that, man, in the modern era, has not understood his human truth or has ignored it and has forgotten his source of peace which is God and His teachings. The only way out of these problems is to return to the true religion, to understand it and to put its teachings into practice. Islam, as the last and the most comprehensive religion, can play a pivotal role in educating man and saving him from further crises. The teenage years and youth are decisive and critical in shaping man’s personality. To make the best use of his youth, man should turn to a knowledgeable guide who knows the way; someone who is devoid of error and mistakes and the best such guide is the holy Qur’an and the correct traditions of the immaculate Imams (PBUT). What lays the foundation and paves the way forany progress and refinement is correct knowledge and understanding. It is education that guarantees such knowledge and understanding and can reinforce self discipline. The most effective and in fact the sole factor in healing moral and psychological problems is thus following religious teachings and practicing them sincerely. Therefore, the aim of Islamic education is educating Islamic individuals. This paper, with reference to the holy Qur'an, the traditions and documented proofs, examines the above-mentioned issues.
