Qur’anic Analysis of the Livelihood Culture of Rulers and Preachers of Religion

The concept of livelihood culture from the perspective of the Qur'an shows the correct method of business and consumption for human beings and acquaints them with the Qur’anic teachings in this category. Since two groups of religious scholars and rulers are influential in the interest, corruption, and destiny of society, studying and explaining the model of livelihood and pursuing the reform of their behavior, based on the Qur’anic culture of livelihood, seems to be necessary. This article aims to extract what is necessary for business and consumption in the livelihood of religious scholars and rulers from Qur’an and Hadith and express the components of their livelihood culture so that it is possible to demand from them based on Qur’anic citations and narrations. When the preacher of religion wears the dress of a ruler of society and so the ruler is selected among the clergy, the importance of the issue is doubled and so his duties in affairs of livelihood would be much more. Therefore, this theoretical research, through a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to find the components of the livelihood culture of rulers and preachers and then examine the compatibility of these social groups.
