Enhancing interior architecture quality directly shapes residents’ lifestyles and well-being. If Islamic architecture aims to create a virtuous life (hayate tayyebah), it is essential to discover and apply principles for organizing these spaces so that Islamic architectural works emerge—principles rooted in the wisdom of Islam to facilitate a Muslim life with dignity and resilience. In the second phase of the revolution, building a new Islamic-Iranian civilization requires sustained knowledge production in this area and interdisciplinary collaboration. This study presents a framework for designing a space of the described quality that becomes a “pure place” (hayate tayyebah), a pleasurable and growth-promoting environment that supports ethical, social, and spiritual flourishing. The core question is: what is the process of interior architectural design with such an approach, and how can it be generalized beyond context?<br>To address this, four parallel research paths are pursued: (1) a four-stage hypothesis—goal-setting, formalization, vitality, and meaning-making—documented through the authors’ experiences in research, teaching, and interior design; (2) deriving Islamic teachings from anthropology, ontology, jurisprudence, and Islamic law via architectural jurisprudence and ijtihad; (3) evaluating and refining the hypothesis through content analysis of written and built interior-architectural sources; (4) using prior findings to assess and complete the hypothesis as a robust design strategy. The results enrich and solidify it as a practical interior-design framework with depth and broader applicability.
