Abstract

Poverty is an undesirable social phenomenon, the existence and extent of which in society leads to all-round detrimental consequences in the short and long term. This ominous phenomenon has been condemned in all religions and human cultures and various ways and means have been proposed to remove it from society.
In the Holy Quran and several narrations, poverty has been introduced as a negative factor in human life that must be eliminated soon. On the other hand, in some narrations, expressions about praising poverty and the position of the poor with God are seen, which creates a kind of conflict in this regard, so resolving the conflict of narrations and explaining the position of Islam and how to deal with poverty is an undeniable necessity. The study of Islamic sources also shows that the requirement for gathering and reconciling between conflicting news is that poverty and wealth are each in turn a divine blessing that the servant has a duty to act on, and for this reason, in most of the prayers of the Infallibles (AS) It is asked to be healthier and less dangerous than the parties.
In addition, the present article examines the phenomenon of "poverty" and its types in Islam based on an analytical-descriptive method and using interpretive and jurisprudential sources, and a comprehensive and accurate look at the issue of poverty and its types, including innovation. This is research.
