Abstract:
Realism is always emphasized in Islam and is considered as one of its essential principles. Accordingly, Islam teaches the human to take into account the realities, and organize and plan his movement and efforts based on them, because without knowing the realities he cannot achieve the ideal goals that bring about his blissfulness. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the nature and consequences of realism in order to step toward obeying the divine commands and consequently, the strengthening of this important element in the human and creating the motivation to grow it as much as possible. This way, the human can ultimately attain his true prosperity and blissfulness. In this study, in which the data is collected through library research, first the nature of realism is specified. Then, its effects as well as the relationships between these effects and their priority will be addressed.

Effects, Instinct, Innate disposition, Realism Introduction In general, the reactions of the humans to the world and its requirements are different.
Therefore, when the human correctly sees and perceives the realities in the way they really are, he first understands that the world of existence certainly relies on something that is the creator and maintainer of it and the source of its life, i.
Therefore, due to this very instinct (up until the times represented in the history), the majority of the human society have constantly believed in the existence of a god for the universe, and Islam and other religions (such as Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Buddhism) have a similar belief in this regard.
On the other hand, if the human comes to a true understanding about the existence of this universe and sees the true level of the things in it, he will not be attracted to them; then, the natural world will not prevent him from knowing God. Rather, he will clearly understand that anything comes into existence due to the Divine Existence, “Allāh is the Light of the heavens and the earth” (Qur’ān 24:35) (Mīr Ḥusaynī, 2005: 63).
