Happiness (es-Sa'ade) occupies an important place in ibn sina's thought
system. According to the sage, genuine happiness being the ultimate goal of all our
endeavors, can be construed to mean reaching absolute being in the other world. İbn
Sina While placing great importance on happiness in the other world didn't neglect its importance in our world either, He even went on to say the acquisition of happiness
in the other world, was determined on a decisive manner by the life style in this
world. Defining humans as a social and politicat being in this context, ibn Sina,
starting from the necessity for humans to live with others in order to meet their
requirements and to realize their possibilities and develop skills, went on to identify
living precepts for humans. Also to be able to be able to achieve a happy life, he
emphasized the necessity of having to live as a community and the need to observe
a series of rules and regulations. He adopted the philosophy that one of the
necessary conditions of happiness was a virtuous life, and by enforcing these
principles a Virtuous life could be realized. On this subject; in order to achieve a
virtuous life both here and in the other world, and to be happy and to be able to
express the actions and life in this universe, İbn Sina es-Siretu'l Fadıla has
embraced the concept of (virtuous life) and has mentioned this concept in his other
Works. This article will attempt to outline his thoughts on the virtuous life, acting from
his(ibn sina) works, as a prerequisite for acquisition of happiness.
