Abstract

 
Nowadays, hardships are considered as part of everyday life. Therefore, in order to manage and control them, it is necessary to identify appropriate measures for the target community in order to show the most suitable response. Therefore, this study, using content analysis and theme analysis techniques and using the theoretical foundations of resilience, has extracted and analyzed the social teachings of the Qur'an. The question of this research is: What are the effective factors on social resilience in religious society based on Qur’anic teachings? The findings have achieved two categories of spiritual capital and spiritual life. Also, two sub-categories of human and religious values for spiritual capital category and two sub-categories of spiritual and religious activities for the spiritual life category have been identified and for each one, the interaction of related concepts has been discussed and investigated.
