Doubtless, one of the most important duties of prophets particularly the prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h) is to improve the quality of life beside moral growth and excellence.

As well as, in the viewpoint based on religious instructions, he may interpret his experiences truly according to the growth and personal perception principle and nature prosperity and recognition of his existence and God, and in accordance with the signification principle and framing, and finds a positive attitude by deep recognition and knowledge through internal and external integration and based on the internal wealth principle and attention to God and leads his emotions towards the improvement of quality of life.
