Identifying the Components of Economic Education in the Holy Quran and the Extent of its Reflection in Superior Documents

The present study aims at identifying the components of economic education in the Holy Quran and the extent of its reflection in the superior documents.

The research method is descriptive (analysis of qualitative content) and of comparative type with reference to the text of the Holy Quran, superior documents as well as the scientific and research sources. The statistical society included all chapters and verses of the Holy Quran, their translations and interpretations, and superior documents, including the Document of Fundamental Evolution of Education and the National Curriculum. Considering the nature of the study, the sample was equal to the society. The tool for data gathering in this study was the checklist for investigating the Quranic verses and the superior documents whose validity was confirmed by five professors in educational sciences, the department of Islamic teaching and the Quran teachers in Tabriz University. Its reliability was assessed through Lawshe agreement coefficient with comments by the same professors. For analysis, we extracted the components of economic education from the Quran.

These components were classified in three spheres of production, distribution and consumption. In the production sphere, 9 main components and 119 secondary components, in the distribution sphere, 24 main components and 56 secondary components, and in the consumption sphere, 6 main components and 52 secondary components were identified. In the next stage, identifying the components of the superior documents and the extent to which the components extracted from the Holy Quran reflect the superior documents were investigated.

The results show that the extent to which the components of economic education reflect the superior documents is about 22 percent in the production sphere, 12 percent in the distribution sphere, and 20 percent in the consumption sphere, which are at a low level.
