Abstract

The existing facts in the society show that the phenomenon of Islamic resistance, like other social phenomena, faces various challenges. Through examining the destructive effects of each of these challenges, it was found that the economic challenge is one of the most important and dangerous. Undoubtedly, neglecting any of these challenges and failing to deal with them will cause the foundation of the Islamic resistance to collapse. The present paper, which has been compiled by an analytical-descriptive method, while classifying the mentioned challenges in three sections - individual, social and policy-making- tries to use Qur'anic solutions to solve them. The findings of this study suggest that the Holy Qur'an has dealt with economic challenges related to economic resistance through providing appropriate solutions, such as strengthening the cognitive dimension of individuals, modifying the value propositions of the individual evaluation system, providing desirable behavioral frameworks, highlighting individual and social effects of adverse economic behaviors and recommending policy orientations commensurate with the intended results.
