Abstract

This article, using a descriptive-analytical method and library resources, examines the Quranic foundations of Ayatollah Khamenei’s economic ideologies regarding the goods distribution, with an emphasis on the resistance economy. It emphasizes that economic justice and social justice are important indicators of the resistance economy in society, and according to the Supreme Leader, the country’s economic progress must be accompanied by justice. The results of this article indicate that fair wealth distribution across the country economically affects politics and culture. Executive measures for distribution mentioned in the Supreme Leader’s statements include monitoring and controlling economic activities, preventing rampant smuggling and imports, and eliminating unnecessary intermediaries. In Islamic economic teachings, the rejection of intermediaries is emphasized through prohibitions such as prohibiting middlemen from profiting and prohibiting urban representation of rural areas. Hoarding, underselling, exploitation, and administrative corruption are obstacles to fair wealth distribution. Additionally, low wages, lack of sufficient oversight, and failure to seriously address offenders are causes and factors of administrative corruption that require strengthening and revitalizing religious and moral values and cleansing the administrative system of corrupt individuals.
