Max Weber's approach as a sociologist is classified in the category of sociological micro-approaches, and his explanation of various phenomena is an objective co-explanation. Paying attention to the individual and explaining based on considering the position of the individual in the society has shown itself even in the issue of the development of religion in the society. This article, which is written with the aim of understanding the criticisms obtained from the point of view of Morteza Motahari on Max Weber's views on the issue of the development of religion and is written in an exploratory, descriptive and critical method, has reached the considerations that religion is a phenomenon with The origin of atheism is not human or social, so that due to the changes and transformations of conditions and time, it needs to evolve and conform to the conditions. Comprehensiveness and compatibility of religion with reality are two basic elements for religion not needing substantive changes. Also, the nature of religion has not changed in the course of history so that religion needs to be completed. The elements of all divine religions are the same, and no change has been made in these elements, so as to create the suspicion of change, transformation and evolution in religion. The Qur'an's point of view regarding the development of religion is an integrated point of view. That is, from the beginning of the creation of the first man to the last creature, this religion has been accompanied by God Almighty with the aim of ensuring the happiness of the worldly and the afterlife life with man and human society, and since the goal is the same, religion has also been comprehensive of this goal from the beginning until now.
