Abstract

The article is to draw close attention to some roots of impiety and then offer proper solutions for confrontation. The author attempts to give a conceptual explanation for piety and then refers to influence of intellectuality, extremist rationality and scientism, suggestion of false currents of spirituality and weakness of educational system as among the most important elements of impiety. In order to confront these threats, one should respectively explain the true piety and real image of faith by responding the doubts raised by intellectuals, explain properly the relation of reason and revelation as well as elucidate the role of science with respect to revealed message and principles of genuine spirituality, and finally promote the educational competencies in three individual, organizational and strategic levels.
