Abstract

The aim of this paper is to clarify the relations between this world and the hereafter and its educational implications. This approach can affect the view towards the relations between this world and hereafter and the regulation of functions and personal as well as social behaviors to pure life. To clarify the modality of such relation, the nature of these two were analyzed and it was found that these two are inseparable. Separation happens when the main nature of worldly and hereafter life are not known. In order to explain how to behave in this world and achieve a pure life, certain principles were identified. Correct view to the world, belief to superiority of the hereafter over the worldly life, empowering the will, reinforcement of the sense of greatness and self-evaluation are the most important principles. The methodology used for educational implications is descriptive-analytic and the implications were determined through some rational reasoning guidance; these are recognition of the nature of the worldly life to people, ability to develop the world, becoming aware of the real relations between worldly and hereafter life, reinforcement of patience and persistence, and the life style; in the end, some applied suggestions are mentioned.
