The modern and postmodern challenges regarding the meaning of life have been recognized as the root of many mental harms in contemporary human beings. Love as one of the most fundamental religious-humane concepts can significantly contribute to the resolution of such challenges. Speaking of the research question, the present study, using the descriptive-analytical method, attempts to figure out how the meaning of life based on love can be re-defined in accordance with the views of Allameh Ja'fari (as one of the recent religious thinkers). According to the research findings, the meaning of lover's life is commensurate with the beloved’s value; the more sublime the beloved is, the more sublime the lover's life will be. Virtual love and real love have different effects on the meaning of life. When it comes to the meaning of life, there is a bilateral relationship between love and "belief in God". As for the connection between love and "purpose", virtual love can not only serve as a tool for reaching the "true love", but can be recognized as the representative of its dignity and its manifestations. In addition to these components, there is a close-knit relationship between the “human existential and perfection levels" and the type and level of love. As for the relationship between love and "art", people's perceptions of the meaning of life can generate different arts. Combined with real love, any artwork can serve as a source of excellence and perfection in society.
