The Valuable Competencies and Professional Capabilities of a Worthy Mentor from the Perspective of the Holy Quran and the Hadith of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH)

The cultural and educational growth and advancement of individuals in society depends on the existence of worthy and virtuous mentors. Therefore, outlining the characteristics of a worthy mentor is of significant importance and impact. The present study, using a grounded theory approach, aims to extract and qualitatively analyze a complete set of religious texts, including verses from the Quran and hadiths of the impeccable Imams (AS), regarding the characteristics of a worthy teacher. The results indicated that the main concern of religious texts in introducing a worthy mentor can be categorized into two overarching areas: Competencies and capabilities. In the area of competencies, five categories, ethical, belief-based, emotional, cognitive, and self-related, were identified in order of frequency and priority. In the area of capabilities, four categories, behavioral-operational, developmental-educational, scientific-educational, and teaching, were identified in order of frequency and priority. The details of each category and a paradigmatic model of a worthy mentor based on religious teachings are presented in this research
