Abstract

The noble Quran is the first and foremost book on ethics. Nahjal Balagha is the second document on principles of ethics. Prophet Sa and his most important pupil Ali AS are the models of applied ethics and teachers. They are a constant source of referral in all matters of morality and ethics. Imam Syed Sajjad Zainal Abedin is the foremost guide in all matters of prayers and servitude. His Sahifa Kamilla is a document that most of us read from time to time.
