The tourism movement in Al-Najaf Governorate has witnessed significant development after 2003 in light of the development of human and developmental awareness and the improvement of quality of life linked to various elements, including the importance of tourism. The research showed that Al-Najaf enjoys a developed and modern internal land transport network that connects various parts of the city and its commercial and tourist centers. The developmental tourist planning focused on the civil aspect and the essential components of the environment, working to create areas of attraction and services that match the volume of tourist landmarks in Al-Najaf, which are intended for future development to suit their importance and size in order to connect the elements to provide better services and make the Al-Najaf Lowland an internal and external economic tourist center to expand the economy and improve the community's welfare economically, by providing job opportunities and marketing the touristic products and the natural and historical tourist areas present at the lowland.

The main problem of the research is that (the Al-Najaf Lowland represents a multidimensional tourist center that requires tourist planning and the development of its natural and heritage resources), and the tourism movement and its development help to increase the structure of tourism development, activate it, and raise its functional level with the availability of job opportunities and community prosperity.

It is an expectation from scholars to positively lead exemplary lifestyles following the fact (assumption?) that their intellects have received purification and nurture to identify the ‘good’; and subsequently, walk in the way that leads to the ‘good’. That should be the nature of scholarship for its process enlightens the minds, after which one could be referred to as an intellectual, a scholar. But it is unfortunate that this expectation has not been realized, as scholars, in the process of exercising their scholarship, lose the essence which gears towards humanism, and become beasty in nature. This calls for a re-evaluation of the nature of scholarship and the expectations of scholars. Where has scholarship or scholarly process got it wrong to inculcate the very opposite of what is expected of its onus, in people participating in it? Is the factor responsible for this, in the process, or environmental dependent, or what scholars have constituted as the nature of scholarship? In addressing these questions, this paper finds out that it is the emphasis on living a logical and critical life as scholars, and influences from the intellectual products of scholars, expressed in their philosophies of life, theories and ideologies that have encouraged this opposite development of in humanism. The results or expectations from this paper include: (1) To unravel the already experiencing dangers of this anomaly, (2) To advise scholars to toe more, the way of humanism than the extremist life of criticality and logicality in the process of displaying their scholarship, and (3) To postulate a more humanistic model as an essential scholarly exercise. The paper shall adopt conceptual analysis and a humanistic approach as methods.
