Quality Of Life From An Islamic Perspective

Abstract

Achieving quality of life is one of the main objectives of Islamic law and the exemplar Muslim society is supposed to be continuously seeking life perfection and constantly moving towards higher levels of life quality. And whereas human beings are constantly called to change their reality for the better, overcome obstacles, remove from their life all aspects of embarrassment and never succumb to helplessness and weakness, they are also surrounded by a strong protection that enhances a dignified life in all its dimensions, preserves a stable living that enables them to self actualize and realize hopes and aspirations, and drives them into the path of honest competition to reconstruct society in a way that would help them reach high standard living. Quality of life therefore becomes a natural fruit in a religion whose main purpose of its laws is to bring benefits to people and keep them from evil and harm.
