Abstract
Governance, as a participatory process, involves all social actors—both governmental and non-governmental—in addressing the major issues of society. In the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a religious system, despite the valuable capacity of believers’ nuclei and their role in the cycle of just governance in economic matters toward achieving a new Islamic civilization, there remain weaknesses that necessitate strengthening economic health and combating economic corruption. The Qur’anic teachings clearly delineate the role of believers in the cycle of just governance—regulation, facilitation, and policymaking. Employing a descriptive-analytical method and thematic content analysis, this study seeks to answer the question: Based on the Qur’anic address “O you who believe,” what role do believers play in the just governance of the Islamic Republic of Iran, focusing on promoting economic health and fighting economic corruption? The Holy Qur’an, in eighty-nine verses containing the address “O you who believe,” outlines the key responsibilities of believers, seventeen of which pertain specifically to economic health and combating corruption. By examining these verses, the present article concludes that believers can strengthen economic health through drafting and honoring commercial documents, observing economic justice, ensuring legitimacy in financial dealings, safeguarding the Islamic society, and prioritizing ethical and spiritual values over economic gains.Keywords: Governance, Just Governance, Islamic Republic, Economic Health, Fight Against Corruption.
