Abstract

The limit of moral quorum is the limit of true happiness; the goal of this research is to deduce this limit from the comments of martyr Motahhari according to the type of moral reality in a descriptive-analytical way; He considers the essence of moral reality to be religion and conscious worship, which is not possible except by believing in monotheism, that is, moral limit. It seems that martyr Motahhari's statement in proving the essence of moral reality, which is religious ethics, needs the following corrective and supplementary statement in terms of its foundations and accessories that according to the specific human characteristic, the type of moral reality for human beings should be considered as contemplate with reason. Based on perfectionism, man thinks about his closeness to absolute perfection and his relationship with him and in recognizing his relationship with absolute perfection, he realizes his need and, consequently, he behaves in accordance with that need, and thanking the giver of it. It does what martyr Motahhari refers to as conscious worship.
