The main question of this study was to identify the ethical motivation factors from the viewpoint of Ibn Arabi and to depict the path through which the ethical agent would achieve the optimal life intended by religion and ethics. A reference to Ibn Arabi’s works using a descriptive-analytical method made it possible for us to explain the ethical motivation steps as follows. In order to expand the existence, the general Divine grace bestowed the virtue of life onto the human, while the specific grace of sublime God installed the human as the (potential) collection of Names. The knowledge that is gifted by God and leads to knowing the world of archetypes informs the human about the reality of his existence. The divine grace and the human’s knowledge of this grace bring about kindness, set the ground for him to make effort, and make the context for the growth of optimal human character. Finally, the station of guardianship and knowledge about the divine guardians is another aspect of the divine grace, a way to recompense for the human knowledge incompleteness, and a compensation for his defective ambition; the last factor accelerates the transition from ethical motivation to ethical act.

Nowadays, luxury brand consumption in the Iranian society is evident, which requires to be strategically considered. The present study, using a qualitative approach, seeks to extract a pattern of luxury brand consumption in Iran.

The present study was a qualitative research based on data theory. The statistical population of the study consisted of academic experts and brand and marketing experts of the country. Using purposeful sampling and saturation principle, 15 individuals were selected as sample size and data were collected through semi-structured and in-depth interviews. Data coding methods (open coding, axial coding, and theoretical coding) were used to analyze the data.

The model of luxury brand consumption incentives in Iran can be classified into 8 main categories. These include: psychological, ethical, individual, economic, social, cultural, functional and demographic motivations. These motives were eventually divided into two categories: open and hidden, using theoretical literature and interviewing experts.

The social, cultural, economic, functional, and demographic motives for luxury band consumption, or luxury, are obvious. But behind that are hidden motives. Individual, psychological, and ethical motivations are less tangible and are of particular importance for luxury brand consumption.

There are different perspectives regarding the following questions: does ethics depend on religion in practice? In other words, other than being aware of ethics, do we need any extra motivation to practice ethics? Is this motivation, religious motivation or it is should not necessarily be religious motivation and other motivations are enough as well? The perspectives regarding these subjects may be mainly divided into two groups: accordant and opponent views. The 'opponent' view, which belongs to Kant and his followers, believes not only religion does not help human to have ethical deeds, rather it harms it as well; on the other hand the 'accordant' view believes it is only religion which can compensate the existing gap between knowledge and practice. They believe not only believing in God reinforces and increases human's commitment to ethical values, rather it creates new values as well. This perspective has some defenders among Western ethical philosophers and Islamic ethical philosophers.

Ethical systems use different stimulants, some worldly and others unworldly, to motivate people for an ethical manner of life. With regard to the powerful effect of worldly ones, many of ethical schools, particularly social and professional ones, use them. Though there is the fear that the usage of such stimulants leads to worldliness of ethics. As is understood by examining worldly stimulants on the basis of Quran and traditions, Islamic teachings agree with such stimulants.
