Above all, the rapid social evolution of human civilization necessitates the development of a dynamic, imaginative personality. Consequently, a variety of scientific domains take into account the examination of theoretical research and the broad notion of personality. Ethical development throughout socio-historical growth results in the perfectness of an individual.

The majority of research fields have been built on this perspective. The authors take note of ideals based on Al-Farabi's heritage that are focused on the perfect person (goals and desires, hopes and their expectations, morality and benevolence). Therefore, according to Al-Farabi's spiritual heritage where a perfect person is primarily an individual who is the focus of societal communication and intentional behaviors. Furthermore, it signifies a continuous aspect of the person which relies on their social relations, and serves as the foundation for spiritual harmony.
