Cities and habitations are among the most prominent and tangible effects of human culture, which express many mental and subjective components affected by and resulting from it, by providing objective and perceivable spaces. Islamic cities also were not (and are not) an exception. Islamic cities represent a special concept of city. In this concept, Islamic values and attitudes are manifested. Such values and attitudes are evident in construction of urban elements. The results indicate that formation of design principles of Islamic city mainly depend on Islamic values and cultural beliefs rooted in nature of Islamic rules, which also affect various aspects of lives the Muslims, including construction of habitations. In this study, it is tried to investigate the characteristics and physical structure of Islamic city in various periods by a combined library and analytical-descriptive method. Finally, it is concluded that such factors as economic development and social characteristics influenced (and influence) the physical structure of Islamic cities in addition to the attitude of the rulers of each period and the ideology resulting therefrom.

The ultimate goal of Islam is to cultivate a mature human being who is devoid of either psychological or emotional coarseness. Inspection of murder cases have shown that many of them have happened because of honor motivations. Treachery among married couples, sexual deviation, doubt, pessimism, deviations in childhood and puberty, fault, and unrestrainedly were regarded as the reasons of chastity-related murders. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of religion and Islam doctrines in preventing chastity-related murders. Based on the results of the study, it was shown that Islam, its doctrines and particularity about the doctrines has the power to prevent chastity- related murders. The observation of religious standards including: creating a well-founded behavioral situation in families, respecting Hejab (Veil), modesty, virtue, avoiding the commitment of suspicion, unlawful morsel, unlawful eyeing, certainty of chastity, observation of sexual behavior, respecting marital duties (including: apparent adornment, holding trust, good environment, choosing the proper spouse, etc) are all regarded as the main issues which can prevent chastity-related murders. This was a qualitative study in which various research tools were used. Participation, interview, direct observation, note-taking, and analyzing different documents were the research tools.
