Allamah Tabatabaei  in his book, Almizan Exegesis, has indicated three levels of knowledge which created three types of moralities: philosophical-material, common to all prophets’ teachings, and exclusive to Quran. These three types have different natures, impacts, and approaches toward the whole universe. Exclusive Quranic morality, which is also called ‘Quranic-Mystic’ or ‘monotheistic’ morality, has significant impacts in comparison to other types of morality. Ibn-e-Moskavayeh in his book, Taharatola’aragh, with a philosophical approach, influenced by Aristotle morality, points to the first and in a few cases to the second type of morality. Khaje Nasireddin Toosi in his book, Osafolashraf, points to all the three types of morality. He portraits a human with monotheistic morality and its impacts. The third source was Feyz-e-kashani’s Mohajatolbayza’a, in which he mostly points to the second type of morality and in some cases to the third one. The forth source, Mahdi Naraghi’s Jameossa’adat,  juxtaposing the philosophical discussions of material morality with the verses of Quran and traditions of Ahl-ol-Bait (PBUT), deals with other types of morality. But in none of the aforementioned four sources of this dissertation was there the depth of Allamah Tabatabaei’s ‘Monotheistic morality’ in terms of nature, impacts, and approaches towards the whole universe.
