The purpose of creation and its value has thus become an important concern for researchers. Considering the richness of Islamic thought and the background of great philosophical and intellectual figures in the Islamic world, in the present study, the issue that is considered is the meaningful study of life. This issue has been studied from the perspective of the prominent figure of the Islamic world, Suhrawardi.
