Abstract

Bu çalışma, İslami geleneğe dayalı olarak yoksulluğu yeniden tanımlamak için dört boyutlu bir model önermektedir. Mevcut literatür, yoksulluk ve onun çok boyutluluğu üzerine bütüncül bir tartışmada yetersizdir. Çalışma, mevcut literatürü analiz etmek için nitel araştırma yönteminin bir parçası olarak tümevarım ve tümdengelim yöntemini kullanır. İslam'ın birincil kaynaklarından ve Müslüman alimlerin yoksulluk ve diğer ilgili alanlar hakkındaki çalışmalarından yararlanır. Çalışma, ayrıca, sosyal politika, ekonomi, sosyoloji, psikoloji, psikiyatri, sağlık ve diğer alanlardaki geleneksel yoksulluk literatürünü de gözden geçirdi. Çalışma, politika oluşturma ve araştırma yönlerini etkileyebilir ve yoksulluğun azaltılmasıyla ilgili kritik önlemlere ve stratejilere ışık tutabilir. Çalışmanın yeniliği, yoksulluğu yeniden tanımlamak ve gelecekteki araştırmalar için yeni ama kapsamlı bir yön belirlemek için özgün bir İslami model geliştirmekte yatıyor.

TOWARDS A FOUR-DIMENSION ISLAMIC FRAMEWORK FOR REDEFINING POVERTY

Abstract

This study proposes a four-dimension model to redefine poverty based on the Islamic tradition. The extant literature is deficient in holistic discussion on poverty and its multidimensionality. The study employs inductive and deductive reasoning as a part of the qualitative research method to analyze the existing literature. It draws on the primary sources of Islam and works of Muslim scholars on poverty and other related aspects. It has also reviewed the conventional literature on poverty from social policy, economics, sociology, psychology, psychiatry, and health, among others. The study can influence policymaking and research directions and shed light on critical measures and strategies related to poverty alleviation. The study's novelty lies in developing an original Islamic model for redefining poverty and setting a new yet comprehensive direction for future research.
