Economic welfare alongside devoutness is one of the most important concerns in private and social life. In the Islamic societies there is a kind of intellectual contradiction and practical effort which stem from misunderstanding of religious statements; as a result, some despite their internal desire are getting away welfare and see wealth as plague of religion. The present paper which is prepared by library method, has critiqued this approach by reference to the Qur’an and Razavi (Imam Reza) teachings and has proved that economic welfare in life is an outcome of faith and piety and the best help to mankind for worshiping and serving God and cultural, personal and social development. On this basis, the present writing by using a new method in definition of welfare and related terms, has proved the favorability of economic welfare from the Qur’an and Razavi teachings’ perspective.

Every human being is exposed to different choices in the course of his/her evolution and maturity among which some choices are more important. Choosing the spouse, probably, is one of the most important choices every one may make during his/her life, and getting divorce and breaking up the family is considered as one of the largest damages derived from a wrong choice. This paper is going to investigate the educative criteria of a congenial choice for forming and continuity of the successful family based on Razavi culture. It is a library research, and it has been organized by studying Razavi Traditions ( Ahadis-e- Razavi ). Trying to introduce a model of transcendent life style, this study, at the same time, inspired by Imam Reza’s Traditions, aims at strengthening the foundation of the family. The Razavi culture is full of guidance which is studied by this study in two separate sections: educative criteria considering pre-marriage period which may result in a congenial choice and, consequently, forming a transcendent family, and educative criteria in the post-marriage era through which the transcendent family might be continuous.
