Abstract

Growth is the supreme goal of man in his worldly life. According to the sources of the holy religion of Islam, such a process is the basis of a desirable life Hereafter. In the prayers of Imam Sajjad (pbuh), growth is discussed in a wide range in all dimensions of human life. The method of data collection in this research is library work, and its scope is the famous Sahifa Sajjadiyah. The research purpose is to detect the semantic features of the growth concept in succession and homonymy, synonymy, and antonymy domains with respect to the context. Considering the purpose of this research, in the light of the teachings of the prayers in Sahifa Sajjadiyah, growth is a transformation and exaltation in the existential structure of man, especially his spirituality. It is conceptualized with the unparalleled lexical eloquence and elaboration of the infallible Imam (pbuh), as a divine gift and an enlightening, true and undisputable benefit leading to guidance. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that a mature human being is a person who has been guided through correct motivation, a sound heart, trust in God, obedience to Him, and reliance on divine power. Such a person bases his or her life on the path of truth, the leadership of divine guides, and the guidance of others.
