A Framework for Social Capital from the Perspective of Holy Quran: A Qualitative Research

Social capital is a community-based phenomenon, and therefore situational. So, if it be in line with the indigenous culture of any society, including Islamic Iran, plays its role and function well. However, due to the overcoming of western ideas in scientific topics and concepts, attention to scientific concepts from the dominant cultural and religious perspective in the Islamic society of Iran has become insignificant. While the monotheistic soul ruling the Islamic-Iranian identity has made necessary the review of scientific concepts in the field of management, including the concept of social capital from an Islamic perspective. In this regard, developing the concept of social capital based on Islamic teachings and sources, and especially the Holy Quran (Creator's Word), is vital and necessary. Therefore, in this research, it was tried to use the Holy Quran to find out a framework for social capital from the perspective of this Holy book. This study in terms of aim was developmental and methodologically, it was qualitative. Considering that in this study the achievement of a deep understanding of the concept of social capital from the Holy Quran point of view was sought, the method of research in this section was qualitative case study.
