The value of giving according to Imam Hassan (peace be upon him) and its impact on shaping the Iraqi personality - a psychological reading

Imam al-Hasan (peace be upon him) was very interested in the science of morals and ideas, and the reason for that was that he saw the collapse of Islamic morals and the peoples distance from their religion as a result of the presence of the Jews, hypocrites, and rogues who tried to destroy all moral and intellectual values, and thus the nation was excluded from its primary role in monitoring and guidance. And the exercise of its role in enjoining good and forbidding evil, which includes all kinds of intellectual, political and social reform, so he (peace be upon him) set out to reform society and refine it by teaching them morals and preserving them to build a nation capable of performing the function of enjoining good and forbidding evil and preserving the nation from deviating from the path of Islam.The highness and elevation of the morals of Imam al-Hasan was prominent since his inception, as it is a natural product and a sure harvest for whoever made it and who planted it, and he is the Messenger of God (PBUH), and the Commander of the Faithful Ali, peace be upon him. This Imam was a generous donor to the poor and the needy, and to everyone who knew He needed it, until he described the honorable Ahl al-Bayt.The distinction in this capacity is due to the circumstances that dictated to this imam a great deal of this giving, as the social reality was difficult in his stage, and the people were in distress and narrowness, and they required him to move to fill, as far as he could, the people's needs and requirements. The attributes and actions of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH) were never based on personal considerations, but were rather a societal needGiving results are not limited to the needy, but also to the givers, as it is completely opposite to selfishness and stinginess, and is considered a kind of generosity and high morals, as it is not linked to any personal expectations, so it is the most powerful means of self-pleasure, as most research confirms, when peoples needs come before you and you solve them with giving. In this mechanism, a person finds himself, and enjoys the taste of life and its goals, in addition to that it removes worry and anguish from others, and removes from them the feeling of sadness, heartbreak, and the challenges of life.)Wheeler, Gorey, & Greenblatt 1998: 32),
