Abstract

The issue of lifestyle has many ambiguities; such as, what is the best way to form a lifestyle and what kind of lifestyle does human need to achieve the goals of his creation. Is the gradual and experimental formation of lifestyle based on human thoughts and desires the best way or the formation of life based on divine beliefs and modeling on God’s Hujjas (Hujja is usually used to refer to a single individual in any given human era who represents God's "proof" to humanity)? Islamic thought recommends the second method. The current study shows that if practical examples of the lifestyle of the Fourteen Infallibles are presented to human, human can trust them and not have the anxiety of incorrect lifestyle and its non-adaptation to divine ideas and thoughts. It also seeks to show the existence of hujja models in lifestyle, introduce them and the reasons for being hujja in their lifestyle. This innovative descriptive-analytical study has collected the required data through using library resources.
