Abstract

Spirituality is the relationship of faith with a transcendental and theological source. Of course, this theological source should be such that it brings peace and satisfaction for the present and hope and certainty for the future. Based on the internal religious view in Islam and intellectual perceptions, a source with these qualities is the creator of man and the world; The same one who sent prophets and heavenly books for his servants to live properly, to teach them the right way and method of communicating with themselves. Perfection and happiness are one of the natural and emotional desires of human beings, and this natural desire can only be fulfilled through spiritual life based on real and true spirituality. The purpose of this research, which was compiled with a descriptive analytical method, is to explain and analyze the criteria and structures of this spiritual life based on the verses of the Holy Quran. The findings of the research show that the structures of spiritual life are of two types; Some can be accepted and analyzed in the field of perception and belief, and some in the field of action and behavior based on the same perception and belief. Faith, sincerity, and the principle of worship, which is belief in the divinity of God and the worship of man, form the first category of these structures, and righteous action and piety, and in a way of Islam, which requires submission in the field of action, are the second category of these structures.
