Abstract :
The problem of "meaning of life" is not exclusive to a particular type but all thinkers pay attention to it, for example psychologists, theologians, poets, mystics, Quran scholars, hadith scholars, etc. the have also prepared various answers for the present problem based on their expertise and due to the existence of different tastes and interests. In the current research, the religious approach is taken into account and the researcher has entered into this issue from the perspective of the traditions of the Prophet of Islam (pbuh) as an example of good deeds and emphasized by the Qur'an. What elements make life meaningful in the statements of the beloved Prophet (pbuh) and on the other hand, what is the relationship between the element of Christianity and the meaning of life are two important questions of this research. In this regard, elements that give meaning to life have been collected and examined in a library manner, and the role of Christianity in making human life meaningful is analyzed in a special way. The analysis of related traditions shows that, basically, the life of this world does not have an intrinsic meaning and value independent of the afterlife, but it is a meaningful life that is overshadowed by a true and faithful faith in the Resurrection.
