Religious Education
In his book Islamic Education he places human agency as the main educational thesis of Islam. This is while before him scholars such as Mutahari believed in human nature as the center of Islamic education. He opposes nature as a central key to Islamic education claiming that human beings are not a piece of non-living object to be fabricated into a human being. Instead human is a dynamic creature who should choose being religious. in this regard he has introduced abstinence by presence. While most scholars have insisted that religion is about preventing sinful situations Bagheri insists that real education leads to presence in a sinful situation and yet remaining intact.
While he agrees with Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas that rububiyah is the proper equivalent for education In the Islamic sense, however he criticizes Al-Attas for his configuration of Islamic concept of education that rububiyah stands only for physical education. since the frequent use of this term in the Quran in various contexts indicates its central position in Prophet's efforts for educating people.
