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

(Genesis 11:6): "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do".Imagination for Bible as a gift permits us to see beyond the here and now and visualize a future shaped by faith. However, one might ask basically what the nature or conception of imagination is. I’ll focus on the vantage points of Farabi and Hegel as two avatars of the traditions of Christian thinkers and Muslim philosophers. Imagination, Farabi believes, may well be defined by its three most notable activities of preserving the sensible forms, combining and separating the sensible forms to make new images, and representing sensible beings as well as the intelligible affairs and beings by sensible forms of two former kinds of images, that is, preserved forms in imagination and the forms created by imagination via combining and separating the sensible forms. Imagination keeps forms of a horse, a stone, a wing, a smell, etc. Imagination also makes a horse with two wings, or a stone that is crying, or a wall that is singing. Imagination gets the image of the horse from nature, and the image of the wings from nature too, and then produces a new form by joining them. Imagination represents, for example, the vice of damaging environment by drawing a row of crying trees in a painting. Three stages of imagination according to Hegel include the first stage as reproductive imagination, the second stage as the productive and associative imagination, and third stage as the sign-making fantasy. Three stages mentioned by Hegel very well correspond three activities pointed out in Farabi’s theory of imagination.
