Ethic has revealed general orientations of human's life and humanities, especially psychology, has shown human ways based on moral intelligence and practical values to reach it. Now, if intelligence was considered as compatibility with new condition, ethic would cover the capacity of organising value into new condition. Because moral intelligence has been the ability to distinguish correct from incorrect, it whose role has been undeniable has affected all dimensions of life and ideal life style of people and created goodness and good-temper in intellectual and emotional areas. However, this study has aimed to investigate moral intelligence and its dimensions in addition to investigation of life style concepts, its components from viewpoint of Islam and theorists. Practical approaches were presented to increase moral intelligence and promote life style.
