Abstract :

One way to get to know a person is to examine his relationships. These relationships have been studied in different cultures and different thinkers in philosophical and non-philosophical traditions have explored different aspects of these relationships. Relationships can be researched rationally in four areas, which are: 1) Man's relationship with God; 2) with yourself; 3) with other human beings and 4) with nature. Among these relationships, man's relationship with God is very important; Because this relationship determines the limits and limits and the quality of other relationships. These relations in five areas: 1) ideological-epistemological; 2) mental (including emotional); 3) will; 4) speech and 5) action are realized. Among the most prominent Western thinkers is Sigmund Freud, who commented on all relations, especially human relations with others. Assuming the negation of God, Freud views relations with others based on the theory of inner complexities and sexual orientations, and considers its suppression to be the cause of many human anomalies. He cites examples and evidence as evidence that sexual harassment is the cause of many problems. Judging by these views with the Qur'an, we came to the conclusion that despite finding little evidence to confirm Freud's view, the rule in "relation to others" is subject to educational conditions, and without it a theory cannot be generalized to the general public.
