the fathers’ virtuous qualities and tendencies are available‐ or ill fate in case their qualities and
natures are evil. The contingent qualities are also genetically received. Providing the story of Noah
the prophet, the holy Quran refers to this matter. God says:
And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not upon this land any dweller from among the unbelievers. For
surely if Thou leave them they [1] Refer to Man: the unknown being: 203, Modern education: 267
and The modern course in principals of education: Quoted from Imam As‐Sadiq’s narration.
will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral ungrateful children.
This Quranic text indicates that the disbelievers’ offspring, who genetically receive their fathers’ ill
qualities, will also inherit their convictions. It is reported that a man from Ansar[1] complained
before the Prophet (s) that his wife ‐who was his cousin‐ had given birth of a black baby while
none of their forefathers was black. “You have ninety nine arteries,” answered the Prophet (s),
“And she has ninety nine arteries. When these arteries combine, they will be in a state of disorder
and each asks God the Exalted to associate with its like. This is surely your son. You may leave
now. This baby must have come from one of her or your arteries.” The man took his wife’s hand
and left.
This prophetic notice implies that sons can receive genetically even the most minute and the
deepest qualities. Many Islamic rulings are legislated according to this fact.
First, Islam urges on looking upon the most accurate manners of women before they are taken in
marriage. According to Islamic rulings, a great attention should be paid to women’s families and
lineage so that any state of anticipated mental or physical handicap or deformity would be
evaded. The Prophet (s) asserted the necessity of checking women before marriage. He said, “O
people! Beware of the green‐looking.” “What are the green‐looking, God’s messenger?” some
asked. “It is the beautiful women of evil source,” answered the Prophet (s).[2]
He also said, “Select for your sperms. The maternal uncle is one of the couple –in any sexual
intercourse‐.”[3] “Marry your women to the suitable, and select for your sperms.”[4]
The Imams emphasized on this point demandingly. Ibrahim al‐Karkhi sought the advice of Imam
as‐Sadiq (a) in the question of his marriage. The Imam said, “You should check confidently the
place you are going to choose for yourself and the one you are going to make a partner in your
assets, and show your religion and open your secrets before him. If you insist, you then should
choose a non‐virgin lady that is known as moral and well‐mannered.”[5]
In another occasion, the Imam (a) said, “A woman is a necklace. You should select what you will
put. Neither the good nor do the evil women have likes. The good women are not like gold and
