Islam va Pazhuheshhaye Tarbiyati

Inferring the stages of moral education from religious texts is an important component of moral education in Islamic teachings and requires specific rules and principles. Among these principles, the criterion of logical sequence plays a key role in formulating and deriving these stages. This study mainly deals with the rules governing the inference of moral education stages based on logical sequence criteria from the perspective of Allameh Misbah Yazdi, a prominent theorist in Islamic ethics. Using the descriptive-analytical method and library resources, this research seeks to address this issue through a thorough examination of Allameh Misbah Yazdi’s works and logical reasoning. It is concluded that the rules for inferring moral education stages with a logical sequence criterion are as follow: 1. Logical precedence of virtuous actions after removing obstacles; 2. Logical precedence of insights, inclinations, and actions; 3. Logical precedence of ethical acts over faith; 4. Logical precedence of spiritual cultivation over physical training; 5. Logical precedence of self-improvement over self-knowledge.
