Explaining the Systematic Model of Transparency Based on the Holy Quran: A Data-Based Theorizing Approach

Transparency is one of the new issues that is highly emphasized in modern governments, and in this regard, in the Islamic Republic, one of the important tasks that must be done is to extract and understand the dimensions and limits of transparency and its application in Islamic government from the perspective of Islamic sources. The present study seeks to establish the concept and function of transparency in the field of governance by examining the Holy Qur'an as the most important religious source, using the method of data theory, and in particular the approach of Strauss and Corbin. By studying the Holy Quran completely, first about 250 open codes and the initial concept were identified and in the next step in the form of axial coding and selective coding based on the systematic model in the categories of contextual conditions, causal conditions, interfering conditions, strategies and central categories. Then, by modifying and modifying 176 open codes and basic concepts, 57 selected codes and 5 axial codes were identified. Finally, it was found that truth-seeking, honesty, reform and justice are central concepts related to transparency, and the consequences of transparency are not limited to material consequences, but trust, guidance, growth and truth-seeking are important consequences of transparency from the perspective of the Holy Quran and part of the model.
