An Introduction to Islamic Lifestyle

As one of the new concepts used in western modernity the word lifestyle has rapidly become a matter of public interest and an interdisciplinary subject. The present paper tries to find an Islamic lifestyle concerning the doctrinal and moral aspects with emphasis on the "need" for this phenomenon. The equivalent of lifestyle in Islamic culture is "Sirah". Lifestyle is consequent on doctrinal and value teachings, and the deep structure of Islamic lifestyle includes the real value and moral affairs as well as the beliefs represented in the spirit of monotheism in all aspects of life. Islamic teachings provide general instructions for establishing an Islamic lifestyle. A review of the interaction between the three constituents; namely, "need, religion and lifestyle" shows that there is a strong connection and interrelation between these three constituents. The research method is descriptive-analytical.
