Abstract
Introduction: The relationship between piety and guidance are concepts that have always been discussed. The issue of guidance in Islamic culture has a high and honorable status, such that it can be said that all the efforts of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) and the Imams (AS) were culminating in achieving those goals. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between and piety guidance and its impact on social health, which was carried out, using various sources and interpretations. In the present study, the library method and note taking were used.
Conclusion: The virtuous at the first stage and at the path of piety need divine guidance and benefit from it. Also, divine guidance has several levels that are directly related to piety. Avoiding adherence to divine guidance is astray and, consequently, deprivation of piety. Guidance has a direct effect on piety, and divine guidance for those who are in the path of piety is increasing. Piety and guidance cross-related in two aspects. Piety in the first aspect is the background of divine guidance, and in the second aspect, divine guidance leads to piety. As a result, divine guidance and piety have a two-way relationship, that is, the greater the piety, the greater the divine guidance, and the more the divine guidance shows the way, the more added to their degrees of piety. The virtuous, as a member of the community, are effective on social health following the divine guidance for the good coexistence of their fellow men.
