According to Allameh Mohammad Taqi Jafari’s idea, the main cause of concept crisis is that human being is lost in natural layers. He is of the opinion that human being has left his identity to natural factors; hence he has lost himself. Therefore, he believes that the first step toward seeking the meaning of life is “self-identification”. In other words, when human being understands his own identity, the next step will be asking himself about the meaning of life. In his view, the prerequisite for a meaningful life is real identification of us. When human being manages to get rid of natural factors, fixed norms of the society, and blindly imitation, and improper prejudice about them, not understanding developments, and mistaking regulations concerning societal order and security for regulations of human being’s premium life, leads us to reach a third vision, which is nothing but identifying ourselves. Of course, Allameh Jafari considers original religion and conscience as the criterion to move from natural self to real self, and believes that perception of life is the religious meaning of life. In his view, the third vision is the area premium values and ideals. The more we get close to our premium ideal, the newer is life’s appearance, and the universe will be something new for him. He is of the opinion that meaningful life is the same as reasonable life. In this type of life human being can see himself evolving in a big complex called universe, which ends in divine attraction area.

Whereas, extreme identity capacity differs from person to person, people react differently towards hardship and problems they face with. In this regard, based on their religious beliefs, real believers consider the hardship as a divine test. The proof can be seen all over Quran, wherein the hardships are referred to as tests for ordinary people, and even some more difficult ones for certain people who are closer to God. Of course, majority of the people who take these tests choose to be patient, and pray to remove the hardships or disasters sent to them by God. Though, the disasters are used for testing or evolving mankind, and they are ultimately in favor of him, many people cannot tolerate big problems; therefore, according to Quran the best way to encounter them is relying on prayer, whose philosophy is making human beings get closer to their creator to change their fate. It is worth mentioning that there are various interpretations for prayer in Quran. The greatest outcome of prayer is making mankind as close as possible to God, and its mere reliance on God. Prayer has various training implications in individual and social areas: mitigating pressures, cultivating self-sacrifice feeling, cooperation, physical and affectionate training, in addition to training individuals and society’s moral training.
