The considered meaning of the Mundane Life in the Quran and Old Testament is life on this world. On the Quran, life on this world is a place of test and a running passage to reach to real life in the Last World. The Quran describing this world life; prohibits from extreme liking to its symbols. Refraining from the world is blamed and intended liking -moderated- to this world and favorable use is recommended. On the Old Testament there is no belief to life after death and this world life is target and human full control over the world and full use from it, creates real happiness of human on this world. And as blaming extreme liking to this world, indirectly reinforces world liking by material reward and special advantages to the Israelites (Jewish people). In this context there is no world refraining and also moderation is just to material life of human and determining the “musts” by Shari’a is for reaching to final happiness of human and also provision of desirable rights of human on the world.
