Many experts confirm the impact of human beings on the environment and the impact of the environment on human behavior and ethics. It can be said that the observance of Islamic and moral values in architecture lead to growth and strengthening of those values in users. But the problem is how these values are manifested in architecture? In this research, determination of the indications of Contentment (which is one of the worshipers of the ethics recommended by the infallible Imams (AS)) has been discussed in part of its meanings (opposite meanings of Contentment: greed and cupidity). For this purpose, during the process after the semantics of Contentment (by using its opposite concepts) the dimensions of the architecture are determined and then the criteria and indicators of Contentment are identified. The method of research of recognizing the meaning of Contentment is semantics. Logical reasoning has been used in the determination of architectural dimensions and criteria and indicators of greed and cupidity in architecture. The validity of it has been confirmed by 14 architectsFor this purpose, during the process after the semantics of Contentment (by using its opposite concepts) the dimensions of the architecture are determined and then the criteria and indicators of Contentment are identified.

Results showed in order to manifestation of avoiding of greed and cupidity in architecture, effective individuals (architect, user and employer) should know your limits, Avoid excesses, Accept restrictions, Avoid bias. In the process of architecture (design, construction and operation) “ Hierarchy of importance” must be noticed, the “ life style” must be identified and proper “ planning” and “ proportion of components with life style" and the “ mortality” " principle must be considered. In sum we can say that work produced by effective individuals has four main features that can be identified in form, function and meaning: regularity, renewability, adaptability and balancing.

Ethical teachings are an important part of the teachings of the religion of Islam and Ethical concepts are among the abstract concepts which are defined differently by different people and then Everyone, in their own way, manifest those in architecture and we’ ll get dif ferent votes. The ongoing research addresses the issue of how a value accepted in Islam (Contentment) can be assessed in architecture in order to evaluate its status, predict its future, and to achieve its planning. In response to this question, indexing is proposed that has a long history in social science. This method involves the following steps: first nominal definition of concept (by semantics) be done and definitions to be elected and then architectural dimensions should be determined. In the next step Islamic criteria based on Islamic concept should be recognized. Then Indicators are determined and finally the items sets and concepts, dimensions, criteria, indicators and items are weighted by Delphi Technique and Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP). Proof of the efficiency of this method has been done by performing a process of indexing on Contentment and so we got a questionnaire with 216 items. By answering it is possible to understand the extent to which the concept of Contentment is manifested in the desired architecture and what should be considered in order to achieve a contentmenal architecture. Of course, given the method› s deductibility, it is evident that access to the objective is relative and there is no claim to the comprehensiveness of the method. The method used in this research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection in the qualitative part is based on the library method (collecting available documentary data) and field (interview, questionnaire) and in the small part, it is a field survey (questionnaire). In the analysis of data in the qualitative section, the method of semantics and rational reasoning and in the quantitative part of the Delphi method and hierarchical analysis have been used. Results of indexing of Contentment showed that among the dimensions of architecture, effective individuals are important and among the effective individual, architecture have the greatest importance. Adaptation of the architecture to the shape of the lives of users; Understanding the effective individual from the cultural, social and economic envir onment; Respect for nature in the process of architecture; Understanding the architect from the physical, geographical and climatic environment; Avoiding economic disaster in architecture are the most important items in realizing a Contentmental architecture.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the concept and functions of "Contentment" in the book ‘ Mathnawi” and to deduce its implications for moral education. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach and using the reconstructed Frankena inference model. In the first part of the research, after a brief overview of the status and importance of the Mathnawi, the concepts of ethics and Contentment, some of the basic characteristics of Contentment are recognized in the form of realistic statements and educational principles, and under each principle, first, the Quranic or Hadith document is stated and then the main point of view of each principle is explained from the Mathnawi. Recognized propositions in this study include: Contentment as a way to the “ Hayat tayyebeh” (Pure Life), a factor for maintaining self-esteem, a treasure for freedom of want, a factor to distinguish from envy, a tranquilizer of greed, a source of happiness and a factor for correlation between reliance to God, daily bread and internal satisfaction. In today's world, where consumerism and attachment to worldly attitudes are instilled to different societies by the capitalist system, it is necessary for our national education system to rely on influential religious teachings and ideas like Rumi, to put 'Contentment' as an educational goal and nurtured a 'convincing and self-sufficient' generation.

Psychological differences between girls and boys which influence socialization of the young in their perceived gender roles are becoming highly important. The aim of the present research is to study these differences within the conceptual framework of BEM Gender Index. The data was gathered through questionnaires completed by a sample group of over 500 high school students. The research findings demonstrate significant differences among girls and boys in such a way that gender beliefs among boys in comparison to girls were more non-stereotyped. If born again, girls wished more than boys to have a different sex. This issue is an indication of girls being less content than boys about their sex. Considering that girls with active and social characteristics and behaviors, and boys with emotional characteristics and behavior were more frequently criticized, it seems gender stereotyping is a prevailing practice in the society and getting away from it is considered an abnormality.

The concept of Contentment derived from the content is one of the names of Allah that in Islamic foundations has been emphasized. The traditional man, relying on these bases, to illustrate the divine names, he has tried in different aspects of his life. Architecture is one of the areas which these names appear in it and from a variety of architectures; the house provides the most possible for these traits to a Muslim. Accordingly, the present study sought to analyze the manifestation of the concept of Contentment in the architecture of Iranian traditional houses. The results of this analysis can be used as doctrines for application in contemporary architecture. The research process is carried out as follows which after the terminology of this concept in literature and extracting synonyms and opposites with it these meanings are discussed in various Islamic texts including Quran verses, hadiths, infallible traditions (AS) and their interpretations. On the other hand, in the specialized literature of architecture, this issue is being examined and the issues that have been mentioned in this topic are extracted. Then, by analyzing and categorizing the findings, the principles related to Contentment, which are feasible in architecture, are extracted. Due to the lack of specialized resources in relation to the various methods of presentation of the principles obtained, from the point of view of experts and architects also used for this purpose. Finally, after extracting the parameters related to each principle the depiction of the obtained items in the Mortaz House collection is analyzed as a case study. The results of the research showed that the concept of Contentment in the architecture of Iranian traditional homes is based on four principles of Avoidance of futility, self-affirmation, moderation, and Rule of no injury.

Happiness, as an inner sensation, is featured in the verses of poets such as Saadi, who is one of the pioneers of the Persian sonnet. In his sonnets, Saadi points to features that create happiness and invites people towards serenity and Contentment and far from sorrowfulness and grief. In Saadi's sonnets, the components of external and aphasic happiness as well as inner and infinitive happiness can be studied. The outer components of happiness, such as enjoying the beauties of nature and spring, pleasurable memories, being in the company of friends, songs, music and dance; also additionally, inner components of happiness comprising of goodness, justice, etc. Hence, the most imperative factor in regard to happiness is love. In this article, in addition to the external happiness factors mentioned, the main factor of the manifestation of joyfulness which is love will be discussed. Love is considered as the gem of Iranian painting in such a way that it is impossible to isolate the theme from the structure of the painting. This article relies on library studies and is based on a descriptive and content analysis method. Research questions: 1. To what extent is happiness reflected and manifested in Iranian paintings? 2. What effect has the concept of happiness had on the structure of the paintings? Research aims: 1. A study of the concept of happiness expressed in Saadi's sonnets manifested in Iranian painting. 2. To investigate and reveal the intertwined form and content of paintings with themes of joy in painting.

Thie present study aims to examine the concepts of Contentment (Riḍā) and submission (Taslīm) within the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Employing an aesthetic-theological approach, it seeks to elucidate the role of these concepts in human spiritual experience. The research focuses on the analysis of sacred texts, commentaries, and relevant intellectual sources from these three religions, demonstrating that Contentment and submission possess not only ethical and devotional dimensions but also shape an aesthetic and theological experience within human relationships with God and the world. The article explicates the commonalities and differences in the perspectives of these three religious traditions regarding Contentment and submission, showing that an aesthetic understanding of these concepts can provide a deeper and more comprehensive comprehension of spiritual experience. The study's findings can provide a theoretical foundation for future interdisciplinary research in the field of aesthetic theology and demonstrate the intimate and reciprocal relationship between beauty and spiritual experience in the Abrahamic religions.
