Abstract

Realism is always emphasized in Islam and is considered as one of its essential principles. Accordingly, Islam teaches the human to take into account the realities, and organize and plan his movement and efforts based on them, because without knowing the realities he cannot achieve the ideal goals that bring about his blissfulness. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the nature and consequences of realism in order to step toward obeying the divine commands and consequently, the strengthening of this important element in the human and creating the motivation to grow it as much as possible. This way, the human can ultimately attain his true prosperity and blissfulness. In this study, in which the data is collected through library research, first the nature of realism is specified. Then, its effects as well as the relationships between these effects and their priority will be addressed.
