Abstract

Some human beings reach the high position of school-building through their own continuous efforts through the stages of divine examinations. Such people are role models, and beacons for travelers. The main question of the author is why a person, by what means, by what means, by what process and with what purpose, reaches the position of "becoming a school" and "becoming a role model". In order to answer the above questions, assuming that the Qur'an is the explanation of everything, we presented the subject of school building to the Qur'an using the method of interpretation of Martyr Sadr. The thematic interpretation requires the analysis of the phenomenon into its components and the presentation of minor questions to the Qur'an. Thus, inspired by the four Aristotelian causes, the school-building phenomenon was analyzed into four components (actual cause, material cause, formal cause and ultimate cause) and each was presented in the text. The results of research show that the material cause of human beings is the model and school-builder of the concept of "goodness" containing faith and righteous deeds. The formal cause is to guide others as a beacon along the path of "good life". The ultimate cause has two stages. The ultimate reason is to reach the Divine Pleasure and enter the "Paradise of Bliss". The average cause of fame and popularity is to guide others. The actual cause is the actor himself, who becomes a role model along the way. Martyr Qassem Soleimani is a perfect example of a school-building man
