Abstract One of the cornerstones of the moral order is "moral purpose." The purpose is actually what the act ultimately ends up with. Some Western scholars and contemporary Aristotelian scholars, while pointing out some of the main virtues and realities among other moral schools, believe that, first, moral purpose role plays an important role in recognizing, explaining, evaluating and judging ethical propositions, ethical theories and acts, and moral behavior of human, and secondly, the most complete, the most comprehensive and the most real moral good is presented solely in the religions of monotheism to mankind. In their view, "divine glory", or the same theory, includes all the ends and human goals, and at the same time is the ultimate and unique one that ensures the happiness of mankind in the world and the hereafter. The one who achieves this goal, naturally, has its other ends due to its connection to the ends of the world, and will be forbidden from falling apart in other relative ends. In this paper, the author of this article, using descriptive-analytical method and library, intends to study and evaluate these moral purpose according to the epistemic source of revelation and Qur'an in three categories: Prophetic, Middle, and Final. To reach the ultimate purpose, mankind forms the series of purposes, each of which in turn is superior to the end, and by passing the preliminary and middle ends of the path of evolution, he has been transcendent and has become the center of the port Right.
