Maslow‘s anthropological theory titled “human motivation” has left a major influence in theoretical and practical spheres. Although this theory has been examined in many perspectives, rethinking it by using religious teachings, especially Quranic Verses, is a new approach in this field. The present study is trying to examine this theory using an intera-religious approach and in so doing pinpoints its weaknesses and strengths in relation to the nature of man and human perfection. The results showed that while the Holy Quran verifies the above theory in part, it does not completely espouse it; The Quran’s definition of perfection is unique and it has not been declared in any human theory since The Quran believes in the capacity of human beings in reaching the absolute perfection, and also stresses the need for this to get to the real peace and final satisfaction.
