Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to explain Foundations, principles and methods of spiritual education with an emphasis on the views of Allameh Tabatabai.  Progressive analysis and also descriptive-analytical method is used in this research. The results show that according to Allameh Tabatabai's views, spirituality is something inherent within man and moving on the path of spirituality is also innate or natural. In this view spirituality is forming in a gradual process which directs the process of immateriality of the soul. In this research, spiritual education, and also spiritual journey of the soul are discussed. It is obvious that respect to the balance between material and meaning can be effective to the process of immateriality of the soul and consequently getting closer to God. According to this research, the fundamental ideas of Allama studies in the field of spiritual education are based on six titles that each has its own principles and procedures. These titles finally will lead to the realization of principles.

Key words: Allameh Tabatabai, spiritual education, Foundations, principles, methods.
