True Purpose of Life from the Perspective of Qur’an and Hadith Sublimity or spiritual decline of a society depends on the type of targets chooses by members of the community, and lack of recognition of the “true purpose”, keeps individuals and communities from achieving felicity. This paper has tried to search the “true purpose of life” in the Quran and hadith, its impact on human perfection and also the position of the Qur’an toward human choice purposes with analytical and library methods. The results were: 1. By examining verses and hadiths about the creation of human, purpose of life from the point of view of the Quran and the traditions are “nearness to God” and “connection of servant to God” through the acquisition of knowledge of the Lord and worshiping him. 2. According to the concept of “worship” in the hadiths, it can be seen that the worshiping of God when is derived from the knowledge which is combined with clear wisdom and conscience free from selfishness, brings him to the absolute source of all the perfections, that is of God. And this nearness which is real not virtual causes conformity with God in his perfection attributes and through it the perfection of man is achieved. 3. Among the five types of human picked purposes of life which are: Liberation from the pain of the cycle of reincarnation, Achieve worldly success and material pleasure, Nihilism, Self-sublimity through Asceticism, Self-refinement in the light of moderation not tendency to material pleasure and not monkhood, Qur’an only accepts the fifth view and others are rejected. Keywords: Purpose of Life, Thraldom, Divinity, Nearness, Worship.

Analysis of the Proof of Stable and Unstable in Preferring the Hereafter over World In religious scriptures there is a special emphasis on the asceticism and encourage people to piety and the hereafter. One of the reasons for this is the sustainability of the hereafter, the eternal quest of man and the instability of world in which he lives. Therefore, one of the missions of religion is to identify stable and unstable, encouraging people to stables and separating the affairs of stable and unstable. For this worldly life is limited and finite. In contrast, the hereafter is infinite and immortal. God by providing proof of stable and unstable has brought the vision of achieving and the true examples of accessing eternal life to human who escapes death and handicap and sometimes thinks unstable as stable and has put the eternal life in the hereafter as a respond to this innate need of human. And by the guides of religion has offered correct behavioral models of the unstable world to the mankind. To his functions, which has a close and deep relation with his knowledge of the universe, well formed. According to the proof of stable and unstable human relation to the world and the hereafter will change and regulate in a correct way. As a result his tendency will change from this world to the hereafter and his innate desire to survive will be guided in true path. He will enjoy peace and satisfaction in his life and will pass the way to salvation. Keywords: World, The Hereafter, Stable, Unstable, Proof.

Conceptual Analyze of [la Ikraha fi al-Din] and theory of “Freedom of Belief and Responsibility” The verse 256 of Surah baqara manifested “non-compulsion in the religion”, which is disputed among exegetes. This research examines the verse based on Appearance (zuhoor), environment of the reveal, Companions and Followers using and understanding. Current article raises the theory “freedom of belief and responsibility” after philology, surveying of Occasions of Revelation (asbab al- nuzool) and accounts. Every compulsion for imposing of religious believes is rejected and prohibited by [la Ikraha fi al-Din], because there is a clear rational distinction between Rectitude (rushd) and Falshood (qay) and incompatibility among Compulsion, Trying and Freedom. Therefore, the mentioned verse designates to freedom of thought and belief, but does not permit to escape from the responsibility, so that human is pledged to accept all responsibilities of thought and belief freedom. Keywords: Compulsion in the religion, Freedom in Islam, Jihad, Brilliant Verses, Thematic Interpretation.

The Viewpoint of Allameh Tabatabaee on Traditions of Nature to Explain the Happiness and Misery of Man Regarding different views about the relation between the traditions of nature and the traditions of human happiness and misery, the view of Allamah Tabatabee in interpreting the traditions of nature and its relation to the happiness and misery of man is considerable; Therefore, this study using descriptive-analysis aimed to analyse the viewpoint of Allameh Tabatabaee in this field and resulted to: Allameh Tabatabaee accepts the concept of the traditions of nature ignoring the weakness of its documents by its multiplicity and believes that there is no contradiction between acceptance of nature and man free will. Nature is only a background and incomplete cause and finally man will build his happiness and misery by his voluntary acts. Keywords: Allameh Tabatabaee, Traditions of Nature, Happiness and Misery.

Damages to Religiosity in the field of Function According to The Qur’an Human felicity which is considered by God as the goal sending religion will be achieved with true commitment to religion. Therefore, identifying and avoiding what religiosity to undermine its accuracy is essential. One of the religiosity components is the functional aspect of religion. So any false performance in the functional aspects of religion that distorts religion, would be a damage to religiosity. Here, three areas of operations which damage religion according to the Holy Quran are mentioned: 1. Harmful practices in the field of recognition of religion: False innovation and comply with it, not pursuant to worthy patterns, blindly following and going through false religion issues. 2. Harmful practices to the religious action: Not surrender to the divine commandments, no seriously religion practices, preferring the world over religion, the lack of action according to the divine Book of God, worldliness, and not to help the religion of Allah. 3. Harmful practices in the field of sustainability of religion: Seasonal piety, not being patient in the path of religion, lack of continuity in the practice of religious imperatives and not migration to maintain the faith. Among these damages in each field one damage could be counted as the origin of other damages in the field. These damages are: Receiving issues through false religion (field of recognition of religion), Worldliness (field of practicing the religion) and no patience in the path of piety (filed of stability in the religion). Keywords: Religion, Religiosity, Damages to Religiosity, Religiosity Pathology, Function.

Quranic Evidences and Typology of Hadiths in Kitab al-Kafi The following research tries to study two chapters of Kitab al-Kafi from two aspects of finding evidences and typology. Finding evidences is offered based on the originality of Ahl al-Bayt words on the Qur’an and the identification of types clarifies the relation between these sayings and the evidence verses. To find the Qur’anic evidences, in addition to searching verses in the Qur’an, Kitab al-Kafi descriptions and oral interpretations were used and types of chapters were explained and analyzed. Using title of chapters as criterion, studied anecdotes were researched in three parts including: faith beyond islam,piety beyond faith and certitude beyond faith and piety. Evidences for the first part” faith beyond islam” were derived from Al-Hujurat 14, 15 and 17, piety beyond faith incloud ‘Ali `Imran102, 138, Al-zokhrof 67 , and the evidences for the last part included verses Al-’An`am 75 and Al-Baqarah 4. It must be mentioned that the anecdotes of these chapters are from the Quran and nested under interpretative typology. Some of these anecdotes are acquired from these verses and infallibles had offered their taught using these verses for the use of their audiences and some other have explained the core and interpretation of verses.
