The pursuit and realization of an ideal society and cultivating human wellbeing has been one of the main goals of the leaders and thinkers in human societies from the past to the present day. The history of mankind is the proof that the thought of achieving individual and collective prosperity and the formation of a flawless society have been the major concerns for thinkers and leaders of human societies. The realization of a good society is sometimes called a righteous society, a clean life, a perfect community, utopia, an adorable society, an advanced and pious society, and a creative society, a correlated, coherent and organic system. To accomplish this goal, this paper attempts to answer these questions1. What is a good society in contemporary intellectual systems and how is it defined?2. What is the model and pattern of a good society based on the text of the Quran?The study is conducted within the framework of the qualitative method of meta-synthesis using the seven-step technique of Sandlowski and Barroso. Meta-synthesis is a method in which the qualitative studies are combined together, their similarities and differences are compared, their findings are translated into each other and a new interpretation of their sets is obtained. This interpretation can lead to a more comprehensive explanation of the phenomenon under study, or create new theories in explaining the phenomenon examined.
