Abstract

Examining the sociality of human beings, the necessity of having responsibilities for them, being aware of social responsibilities, and practicing them are some of the issues that will be the cause of many moral degenerations in society. Therefore, the main issue of this paper is to study the concept of sociality of human beings as well as to study the most important social responsibilities of individuals in Islamic societies based on Imam Ali's words in Nahj al-Balaghah and the role of education in realization of these human social responsibilities based on Imam Ali's viewpoint. Answering this question is the goal of this paper. Accordingly, the research method is qualitative content analysis and theoretical analogy, and based on this, it has been tried to identify the most important social responsibilities of individuals by examining the text of Nahj al-Balaghah and other speeches of Imam Ali (a.s) and then to explain the role of education in realization of such social responsibilities. The findings of the study show that according to Imam Ali, human being is naturally a social creature and in order to live in society, they must be in contact with society. To achieve this, it is necessary to pay attention to responsibilities such as feeling of responsibility towards society, respect for rights, fairness and justice towards human beings, cooperation and collaboration in social affairs, and socializing and establishing loving relationships with others
