Role of Resurrection-Believing in Economic Purity according to Nahj Al-Balagheh

The term economic purity was first introduced by the Supreme Leader of Revolution in the statement of the second step of the revolution. The supreme leader stated that the legitimacy of government officials is dependent on their economic purity. Paying attention to the economic purity in life in the individual domain is a prelude to maintaining economic purity when it comes to governmental affairs. Consolidation of belief foundations has an important role in this issue. The effect of these principles and concepts on the health of the economic system in the individual and social dimension is more than the effect of theories and causal relationships. One of these foundations is believing in resurrection that is one of the most important factors in the morality and behavior of humans as it plays an effective role in encouraging human beings to do what is right and to avoid wrongdoing in all areas, especially economics. The present study, using a library-based descriptive-analytical method, examines the role of resurrection in economic purity from the viewpoint of Imam Ali (AS) in Nahj al-Balagha and draws a detailed statement of the pros and cons of achieving economic purity. The results indicate that resurrection-believing plays a fundamental role in the human health and economic purity; so that it leads to earning halal living and observing religious and human rights while occupying positions which will diminish the destructive desires such as greediness, jealousness, amassing money by the remembrance of the important, difficult and eternal journey of the Hereafter and will result in economic purity.
