Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Muslim Scholars’ Views on Education Introduction Throughout history all over the world, there have usually been thinkers in humanities, and particularly in education, whose theories and writings have been based on the Original nature, and therefore these have received acceptance of most people in all times and places.

Since the religion is based on nature: فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا Then set your face upright for religion in the right state- the nature made by God in which He has made men (the Qur’an, Surah ar- Rum, 30:30). Thus their natures have had the color of God, and since man’s nature is unchangeable: لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ۚ There is no altering of God’s creation (the Qur’an, Surah ar- Rum, 30:30).

Their sayings and writings have always been useable and good for citation. But the presence of such scholars in quite different parts of this great world and in different periods of history has caused many people of the world to be unaware of their opinions or understand them incorrectly. Undoubtedly, this will increase disagreements and discords among different people of the world, the very thing those thinkers wished to omit it.

Therefore, it appears evident that under such conditions in the world that different factors intend to fun such disagreements and discords and the bad results of such discords is evident all over the world, the duty and task of researchers and writers will be greater. First, they should discover and identify such scholars, second, identification, analysis and interpretation of their theories, and third, comparative study of different scholars’ theories in different religions.

This not only will cause on one hand familiarity of the inhabitants of the word with their views and so using those viewpoint, but also it will, on the other hand, cause designing a systematic model based on religious education for all inhabitants of the world through clarification of the shared core of those views. Such a model can be applied by all peoples and humans of the word in the direction of a world-wide unity and creating peace among all human beings.

There were in Iran, throughout history, some great Muslim scholars who represented educational and philosophical theories which had a world-Wile influence.
