Abstract

One of the components of the progress and concerns of Islam and under it the Islamic economy is dealing with the livelihood and general welfare of the Muslim community. Regarding this issue, Islam invites society to brotherhood and help each other and has designed tools for this important issue. These tools are manifested in the form of Rites and Obligatory and they help to minimize poverty and remove the class gap and bring hearts closer to each other in the Islamic society. This research has classified these tools, which are Rites, into three general categories, including affordability indicators, aid indicators, and justice-oriented indicators. Affordability indicators consist of indicators that the obligors are obliged to implement; Like the index of Khums, Zakat, Hajj and Jihad. The second category is the indicators of aid and includes optional obligations such as almsgiving, movasaat, endowment, waqf, and vows. The third category of criteria are justice-oriented indicators. In this research, according to the opinions of experts and using the Analytical Hierarchy (AHP) method, the indicators were evaluated and ranked. According to the results, justice among the main indicators and sub-indexes of Zakat and Khums and sub-indices of balance of goods, jihadi organizations, discrimination, eradication of poverty and belief in Khums became the most important. These indicators can be a good benchmark to measure the level of livelihood and general well-being and the level of restraint of the Muslim community.
