Abstract :

Study and analyzing the obstacles to achieving humanperfection in the Holy Qur'anAbstract:Human perfection is one of the important topics and goals of the Holy Qur'an. But we see that the Almighty God creates billions of people, but at any time, a small number of these innumerable human beings can be perfected and as a human being, which is the purpose of God for the sake of mankin. Therefore, the research question is what are the barriers to achieving human perfection. According to the research hypothesis, it seems that the barriers to achieving human perfection and their virtues have been expressed through numerous verses from the Quran. In this research, with descriptive-analytical method and library study and using interpretive and narrative resources, by examining the number of 110 Quranic verses, forty barriers were extracted as obstacles to achieving human perfection, and classified in the four groups of obstacles: belief, internal and physical, material and erotic, behavioral and social groups. Then analyzed by qualitative content analysis method and categorized in 11 groups according to the threats of verses. The findings of the research indicate a direct relationship between the severity of the barriers and the severity of the obstacles. Consequently, the barriers to belief are the most severe and most important threats, and thus the main obstacles. Forty obstacles, in fact, are forty hijab perfection that by overcoming one of these hijabs a person can complete a degree of perfection.
