A Muslim believer will not feel absurd and unimportant in any way in his life. A person who is beyond the reach of the meaning of the world of knowledge and whose values ​​are beyond the reach of the senses, the natural sciences and the material, never has a sense of absurdity and meaninglessness. Imam Sajjad’s Religious beliefs in Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, can lead to the loss of human life from absurdity and meaninglessness and to the religious meaning and finding a religious and revelatory identity. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the nature of life by relying on a revelation of various dimensions. The author analyzes this matter in an analytical descriptive manner and after referring to the foundations of cognitive, epistemological and anthropological life in the first chapter, Describing various dimensions of value of life has come to include the enjoyment of time, opening up to affairs, the attraction to ethics, the health of the body, and so on. In the third chapter, Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya ‘s spiritual life functions are considered, including truthful life, purposeful life, jihadi life, and so on. The fourth chapter contains the purpose of life, which at the same time points to various aspects of the goals of material and spiritual life, and ultimately, in the final chapter, the ways of explaining the doctrine of the meaning of life in Sahifa are presented and three main ways of communication with the sources of revelation, modifying the visions and the pragmatism of the community are included.
