Abstract

This study seeks to explain the concept of meaning of life and the components of meaningful life as well as meaningful materials based on the Holy Quran.  For this purpose, while examining different views on this issue, the problem has been explained from a Quranic perspective by descriptive-analytical methods using verse analysis. According to previous studies, although in the Quran all three concepts of the meanings of life namely meaning as the value of life, meaning as the purpose of life and meaning as the meaning of function and the role of man in the world of creation is mentioned, what is evident is that the Quran considers the only meaning as the purpose of life, which is the meaning of real life, and accordingly introduces divine meeting and esteem as the meaning and purpose of human life. The main question of the research is based on what are the most important components affecting meaningful life and its materials from the perspective of the Holy Quran.  Cognition, monotheistic attitude, faith, worship and its necessities, peace and contentment are the meaningful components of life that we have achieved during the research process.
