Abstract

Our current research seeks to study the humanitarian principles and concepts recommended by the Islamic religion in its Holy Book to its prophets and messengers, and which our noble Prophet carried to his family and companions after him. Among these are the focus on (fear of God, unity among believers, and maintaining kinship ties). It then gradually explains the Islamic humanitarian concepts of moral and spiritual education in (preserving orphans and guardianship of neighbors). It then moves on to reminding people of the religious duties of (reciting the Qur’an, maintaining the regularity of prayer, performing the Hajj to the Sacred House, jihad in the cause of God when the caller calls, and paying zakat). Then, it recommends not abandoning the poor and needy, and those whom faith possesses. It reiterates its recommendation regarding orphans, prayer, the Qur’an, and the House of God. In all of the above, we find the sublime concepts of shaping the good life in the thought of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) among their subjects.
