Social Classes from the Perspective of the Holy Qur'an and Ways of Dealing with Them

The purpose of this study is to identify the concept and examples of social classes from the perspective of the Qur'an and how to deal with them. Societies are seen as distinct forms of human communities that form social structures within themselves, draw relationships according to them, and establish interaction and confrontation with each other based on them. It seems that reasons such as cultural, biological, material differences and the ability of individuals and groups to seize nature and take advantage of other species have gradually caused the formation of social classes. Components such as power and wealth are the basis for the formation of a group of classes, and elements such as God-seeking and spiritualism have become the basis for the formation of another part of the social classes. In other words, the type of attitude and action of a group of human beings, which was focused on worldly factors, caused the creation of a group of classes, and the attitude and action of some others focused on the hereafter, formed distinct social classes. The question of this research, which was carried out via a descriptive, analytical method and by using sources of evidence, is what social classes are like from the perspective of the Qur'an; What are the factors of their creation and what are their characteristics and how is the way of dealing with each of the mentioned social classes. Achieving ideal results from this study helps to read and analyze more deeply the factors of formation of social classes and as a result, the reasons for the social gap in the current situation, and subsequently to use the solutions to face this social phenomenon as a desirable model in today's societies.
