Abstract

Motherhood has a high identity and dignity in religious teachings. Paying attention to the maternal role of a woman, which is considered a family role, as an important and fundamental strategy for building a utopia, is one of Imam Musa Sadr's innovations. Imam Musa Sadr is among those who paid special attention to the status of the mother as the main pillar of the family and considers the most important and main role of a woman in the family to be a mother, which plays an important role in the upbringing and health of the family and society. The purpose of writing this article, which is done with a descriptive-analytical and critical method, is Imam Musa Sadr's critical view of the decline of maternal dignity in the materialistic thinking of the West. The findings and results showed that Imam Musa Sadr believes that maintaining the dignity of women and the status of motherhood plays an essential role in the consistency and strength of the family and society, and it is necessary to perform the duty of motherhood in an absolute and unlimited way, not to downplay the maternal dimension and not to make it commercial.
