Abstract

Poverty and economic inequality are concepts that lead to different social consequences for human societies. The creation of this social phenomenon is due to the reasons that each social, political, and economical thinker based on his school of thought has clarified parts of it, and subsequently enumerated solutions to solve it. This article is shaped in response to this social phenomenon and wants to explain and analyzes the social causes and consequences of poverty and economic inequality and its solutions from the perspective of one of the Muslim thinkers who have widespread works to this field, namely, Sayyid Qutb (1966-1906). To do this, at the outset, the concepts of poverty and inequality are separately described from a sociological view and in the sequel, the causes of the creation of this phenomenon, its consequences, and its solutions are being explored in Sayyid Qutb's Thoughts. Indeed, in this article, it becomes clear that the deviation from the path of monotheism is the main cause of the domination of this crisis in the Sayyid Qutb's approach and his solutions for this phenomenon is determined.
