In today’s world, where the complexities of modern life pose unprecedented challenges to human physical health, the re-examination and reconstruction of models for physical education based on authentic religious teachings has become an undeniable necessity. This research aims to explain the dimensions of physical education from the perspective of the narrations of Imam al-Rida (peace be upon him), focusing on the central question: What are the main dimensions of physical education in the intellectual framework of Imam al-Rida (peace be upon him), and how are they related to comprehensive human education? The present study, employing a descriptive-analytical method and a systematic review of narrative texts, has conducted a precise analysis of the statements of Imam al-Rida (peace be upon him). The findings indicate that from his perspective, physical education is organized within a “holistic system” comprising six fundamental dimensions: “Management of Sleep and Wakefulness,” “Cleanliness and Personal Hygiene,” “Nutrition,” “Exercise and Physical Activity,” “Fasting,” and “Management of Desires.” What distinctly sets this model apart is its profoundly wisdom-oriented and teleological approach; in such a way that each of these dimensions is analyzed not merely as a health recommendation, but as “a manifestation of practical worship” and “a means for self-cultivation and drawing nearer to God Almighty.” By presenting this systematic and evidence-based model, this research provides a theoretical and practical framework for redefining the true position of physical education within the Islamic education system, taking a fundamental step towards integrating physical health and spiritual transcendence in Islamic societies.
