In the name of Allah
In the Islamic terminology, there are some special terms used to introduce teachers of different levels If a teacher’s main concern is to alter the student’s behavior the term Morabee is a proper way to introduce them If a teacher’s main concern is to improve the logical talents of his student the term Ostad(Master) is a proper way to introduce them If a teacher’s main concern is to treat the psychological characteristics of his students the term Peer(spiritual guide) is a proper way to introduce them But the term for a teacher who upgrades the soul and is responsible for the treatment of his students’ hearts ( or Zaat)is devoted only to “the awaited leader” (the Vali-o-allah-el-aazam) and he is the only one who can create godlike characteristics in the essence of his special students’ personalities
