For centuries, the discussion about the origin of life on the earth has beenone of the most fundamental topics among Muslim and non-Muslimscholars. It is believed by some Muslim Qur’ānic exegetes and researchersthat the Qur’ān makes references to the origin of life on the earth. In viewof this, the primary aim of this research is therefore to examine theQur’ānic viewpoint on the origin of life on the earth.In this regard, the lexical and technical meanings of some importantterms have been examined. Thereafter, the Qur’ānic verses believed tohave discussed the life origin and the commentaries of some prominentearly and contemporary Muslim Qur’ānic exegetes on the verses wereanalyzed.The methodology used in this research work is a descriptive-analyticalmethod wherein the collected data from the written sources (such as books,articles, and so on) have been analyzed based on rational and textual piecesof evidence. Meanwhile, the findings indicate that the Qur’ān does notexplicitly discuss the origin of life on the earth, rather it provides detailsabout the creation and the origin of human beings on it.

Most of those with a materialistic mindset believe that religion has no place in this technological age; That is to say, for the progress and salvation of man in this modern age, man is in no need of a religious belief, as it is considered obsolete. In the religious worldview, however, faith is a light that gives direction to life and it is one of the crucial requisites for salvation in this world and the Hereafter. Thus, the primary aim of this study is to examine the role of faith (i.e) in attaining a goodly pure life in this modern age in the light of verse 97 of Surah al-Naml.

The methodology used in this research work was a descriptive-analytical research method in which the available data are analyzed based on logical and textual evidence. The outcome of this research showed that the life of a faithful is indeed worthy and ideal, while a life that is devoid of it is a worthless and imperfect one.

Similarly, a goodly pure life without faith in God and righteous deeds is infeasible. For it is only under the shadow of faith that man could attain both material and spiritual developments.
