Poverty is a multi-meanings concept which has underwent conceptual modifications in different ages. In the current study we seek to review some poverty studies since the rise of Islam in Iran. Our data are collected and analyzed using literary writings and historical texts. The selected texts were classified based on four general themes, namely Sufism, ethics, teaching, and fotowwat writings (letters on chivalry). In particular, we used a text-based historical method to analyze the gathered data. The findings indicate that there are some interrelated and synonymous concepts for poverty which are difficult to understand without considering its various meanings. In addition, we found historical connotations of the concept of poverty. According to the results, the nature of poverty can be interpreted and classified into two categories: virtues and vices. Our results also suggest that poverty is mainly understood as a cultural interpretation. It is a conceptual chain that carries many ethical meanings including piety, abstinence, contentment, and deliverance. As a result, the removal of poverty requires such a cultural understanding.

For this purpose have been used of analytical and concept framework Weber’s sociology in explaining the qualitative transformation. According to this model, in creating evolution is important both condition and factors; although it is more important preparation agents unto Weber. For Weber one of the most important factors in preparing agents in conformity with rational behavior is magical-religious force and a sense of duty based on them. The hypothesis of the present study was designed based on this approach Weber and given to the peculiarities of Iran.By studying research hypothesis through qualitative methods with respect to the adequacy of meaning and casual in the reconstruction of examples and establishing sociology causal relationship between them turned out between the doctrines of political jurisprudence of Imam Khomeini (RA) and experience of independent indigenous development in post-revolutionary Iran there are structural similarities.
