This text deals with the importance of the ethical training and education of the human being. As the writer says in the text, technical and scientific development without the ethical development is like building high rises on top of a volcano and is destined to fall miserably.

Benefaction is one of the oft repeated issues in the verses of the Holy Qur'an. Whether we think of benefaction as doing good deeds, giving to charity, kindness to orphans, the most important thing underlined in the verses of the Holy Qur'an and the ahadith of the Prophet (S) and his Ahlul Bayt (عليه السلام) is the presence of such acts in our lives.
The present booklet emphasises on the importance of teaching good behaviour and benefaction acts from childhood as our society should be the most kind and careful with it residents as per the advice of our Prophet (S) and his Ahlul Bayt(عليه السلام).

This text gives an overview of Shi'ite spirituality comparing it with Christian spirituality. In Christianity, the soul becomes spiritual as it is sanctified through the gifts of grace brought by the Holy Spirit as it enters into the soul itself; while spirituality in Islam, is the quality of being inwardly meaningful, and the Muslim becomes spiritual as the mirror of the soul is polished to reflect the image of God, and the soul becomes sanctified as it is led to enter the spiritual realm. In Shi'ite spirituality, the Imams as divine guides are especially prominent.
