Identification and determination of educational criteria of divine messengers is one of the ways for man to attain educational perfection. The present paper examines the Holy Qur'an as an educational book and in effect the most comprehensive one, sent for humans at all times, and identifies educational objectives and criteria of the messengers. These aims and criteria include the followings: 1. the development of thought and reasoning, 2. piety, 3. justice, 4. wisdom, 5. worship, 6. refinement, 7. unity and settlement of disputes, and 8. proximity to God. All educators in an Islamic society can contribute to the advancement and elevation of the society by taking these objectives and criteria into account. This study is a library research with a descriptive-analytic methodology.
