Machiavelli’s thinking opens a new window of politics on the world. The cornerstone of that world is independence and humanism. Machiavelli is the first political thinker who paves the way for modern political theory by defining the concept of politics as the function of power strategy. Machiavelli’s two main books are The Prince and Discourse of Livy. A study of Machiavelli’s The Prince defines politics in terms of power and law. Due to this reason, he advises politicians to have a strong army and a codified law. A strong army is to protect the territorial integrity and defend the borders of a country and the codified law is to keep people and states under a single flag. For law enforcement, he first recommends the study of history and then the correct conclusions of events to historians and politicians. This is because whoever knows history is in control of the situation of the people. Moreover, this is why historical events are usually repetitive. Machiavelli’s other book, Discourse of Livy, is an instruction for a prince or a president. This article deals with the influence of Machiavelli’s theories on later political behavior in five chapters and a conclusion.

The purpose of this study is a comparative study between the goals of the Qur'anic lifestyle and modernity, which distinguishes between the two and explores the results and consequences and benefits and fruits of each to be a guiding torch for every questioner and seeker of truth. For this purpose, by emphasizing the descriptive-analytical method and using library tools and scientific-religious approach, we studied the teachings of the Holy Quran and the views of modern thinkers. The main achievement of this research is to analyze the efficiency and results by stating the main differences between the goals of the two so that each scanner can choose more consciously and more easily and walk the path and achieve eternal life.
