Abstract

The supplications of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that were issued from the pure tongue of the Prophet and his honorable family, while teaching people the manners of secret and need with God Almighty and expressing devotion and servitude to Him, are a way to educate them in various material and spiritual areas due to their attention to the educational and psychological dimensions of existence and human needs before the Lord of the Worlds. The purpose of the present study was to explain the educational and psychological dimensions of the supplication attributed to the Imam of the Time. Based on the qualitative content analysis of the text of the aforementioned supplication and the explanation of the supplication in the book Imam Mahdi, the Promised One (Javadi Amoli, 2009), four main areas of educational goals and three psychological dimensions of supplication were obtained, which are: the area of relationship with God with 2 dimensions of belief (6 concepts) and worship (5 concepts); the area of relationship with oneself with 3 dimensions of morality (4 concepts), scientific dimension (4 concepts), and economic dimension (2 concepts); The area of relationship with creation has 4 social dimensions (11 concepts), scientific-cultural dimension (4 concepts), economic dimension (4 concepts), and political dimension (3 concepts); the area of relationship with creation has 1 dimension of understanding and proper utilization of nature (2 concepts); and psychological dimensions have three dimensions: cognitive with 3 main concepts, emotional with 3 concepts, and behavioral with 3 concepts.
