Abstract

This is a way to achieve the goals of the National Education Development Plan that put people at the center of the development.  Besides, it aims to improve human beings physically, mentally, intellectually, knowledgeably, and virtuously. Ethics also plays a vital role in humans’ happy lives to be with others by integrating principles into desirable attributes:

  2. Good people must be good because of the correct creation of charity (Grounds for accomplishing merit 3), good behavior (Good conduct 3) and avoidance from degeneration (Causes of ruin 6), and

  3. People are happy because they are happy to live as property owner (Deserved bliss of a layman).
