In human education, the fact is that the individual must have a self-organized personality in the way that the person can control the self, behaviors, and customs and also follow a growth leading path in the life. The purpose of this paper is to identify either self-scrutiny or its necessity, reasons of ignoring the true self, also solutions and the effects of self-scrutiny in a morally and religiously based approach. This was a qualitative study and the approach toward reaching the objective was either inferential or analytical. This study also analyzed epistemic topics which were focused on reasons to extract. Also, in morality the main step is to know and organize the self. This is important since the creation of good moral and following a morally - based path is related to this issue. From another view point, knowing the self (self-scrutiny) is the foundation of knowing god (theology), it is also enriched with logical foundations. The research hypotheses are: 1) the only way to scrutinize the self is the individual and personal method since every human being has the dignity and individuality of his existence. 2) Knowing self (self scrutiny) is an internal method of scanning and excavating which every human being will start from himself and will reach to the self at its final outcome. 3) The amount of maturity and welfare in any individual is directly related to the amount of his self knowledge (or self-scrutiny). Finally, the only way to achieve salvation is to know the self. Knowing self (self-scrutiny) is the main doctrine of religion, foundation for theology, and the achievement of monotheism. When an individual does not know himself (has not undergone the self-scrutiny process), he is regarded as an alien which wastes all of his life to the cost of that wrong self-belief. The stronger the alien self, the weaker the true self would be. This strengthening and weakening process will last until the diminishment of self which is not any more capable of achieving welfare and perfection.

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.
