This article intends to study the role of the three pillars mentioned in the developments of religiosity from the perspective of the Holy Quran by using the method of qualitative content analysis. The findings confirm that in the Holy Quran, "factors" such as population, economic infrastructure and values ​​by their effective action create the ground for religious change and "conditions" play an important role in the actualization of "factors". they do. Agents and elites also contribute to changes in religiosity through "decision-making" and "modeling", and in some cases can direct changes in religiosity to their liking through streamlining. The result is that in a change of religiosity, all three elements share, but "circumstances" can affect those two elements.
