Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Art of Social Relations Introduction If we want to put a big signboard at the beginning of this topic, shall we find a better or more suggestion than the following: "Oh my son! Consider yourself a scale between yourself and others; love for your brother what you love for yourself, and hate for your brother what you hate for yourself.

Do not oppress as you don't want to be oppressed; do good to others as you want for yourself, dislike for others what you dislike for yourself.

Accept people as they also accept you; do not say what you do not know, even if your knowledge is little, and do not say (to others) what you hate to be said to yourself." In short, this "signboard" wants to tell us: Make yourself a balance between you and other people; a positive thing in relation to you is positive to others, and likewise, anything negative to you is also negative to others. Indeed, if we take this golden advice, what can we get from it?

1- Practicing this theory will make us just, and justice is the main aim of the whole humanity. There is nothing more superior and more important as justice among people. With this theory, you cannot wait for justice to reach you from others; rather you go for it so as to be the first person to practice it. Naturally, good attracts good, and justice calls toward justice. 2- Practicing this precious theory will change life from a place of massacres and bomb blasts to a place of beauty and growth.

In other words, it will be changed into a small paradise. When someone, brothers, friends or any other human being, becomes related to me. I remember him in my happiness and unhappi-ness. I understand what makes him sad by what makes me sad. And, likewise, when I know what he likes by what I like and I do it for him, I will be among those who turn the dryness of life into paradise and happiness. In addition, this theory is not Islamic alone, rather it, also, relates to the sense of humanity.

Thus, Islam - as it is clear - is human in nature in all its teachings. And not only Islam, but, all the Divine religions believe and follow such moral and social principles. Even some psychologists and sociologists call toward it in the process of social rehabilitation and human relations.
