The Effects of Illicit Property on Training with an Emphasis on the Qur’ānic Verses and Islamic Traditions

One of the important and necessary discussions in the human life is the acquisition of sustenance. Properties comprise one evident instance of this, have direct and indirect effects on the body and soul of the people, and can be a factor in their spiritual improvement and perfection. However, deviating people and making them attached to property and riches causes them to adopt any means, even illicit ones, to obtain property. This study has adopted a document-analysis method to examine the verses and narrations that exist in Biḥār al-anwār on the effects of illicit property on the individual and social training. Results reveal that the individual effects of illicit property regard the hardheartedness, deviation from the right path and wilāyat, squandering of the property for useless causes, non-acceptance of the prayers, and non-acceptance of the acts of worship. In the social domain, it leads to negative ethical consequences in one’s offspring which regards the time before and after the child’s birth. In particular, the spoliation of the social rights, the generation of ethical and social corruption, the dissatisfaction of God, the affliction of public disasters, and economic poverty in the society are other effects that bring about economic problems that lead to corruption as well as ethical and training problems.
