Analysis of the Ideal Model of Lifestyle in the View of Islam

Today, we witness the formation of new lifestyles corresponding to the progress and development that take place in different fields, and transformation of societie's from traditional types to modern one. In fact, lifestyle forms individual's collective and social identity. The research works conducted in our society so far in this field have paid little attention to the cultural beliefs and values resulted from the school of Islam, and have only deemed it sufficient to elaborate on the western theories on this subject and mention factors influencing it. Therefore, the present paper tries to bring out three main parameters of lifestyle (model of behavior, management of body, and model of consumption) and study their relationships with those propositions which reflect the view of Islam by carefully analyzing the relevant theories. This qualitative research in which an analytical-descriptive method is used seeks to study the ideal model of lifestyle in the view of Islam, especially shiism. Finally, the paper summarizes the discussion and has a conclusion is made. The research findings indicate the necessity of the socialization and institutionalization of the model of Islamic lifestyle in order to frame young generation's attitudinal structure on this basis.
