Abstract
Islamic economic principles contain concepts that, if applied correctly and appropriately in rural communities, can lead to economic prosperity and development of the rural community. So far, many efforts have been made to discover, explain, or present the economic structure and system desired by Islam. Many experts and thinkers have tried to answer the question of what is the desirable economic system of Islam for the economic management of society and what are its characteristics? and to resolve the economic complexities that modern and complex societies face by referring to Islamic sources and concepts. However, the complexities of economic knowledge and the multi-layered nature of economic issues that modern societies face, along with the various interpretations of Islamic principles, have made the discussions of Islamic economics complex, difficult, and sometimes incomprehensible and unusable. For this reason, even in the large-scale planning carried out by Islamic governments for the development of countries, little attention is paid to the concepts of Islamic economics. One of the most important reasons for this type of policymaking is the lack of a proper theoretical framework to establish a connection between Islamic economic concepts and rural social development. The aim of this article is to present a conceptual framework for the role of Islamic economics in the social progress of rural society, and through it, an attempt is made to explain the connection between Islamic economic principles and the process of rural community development by using Aspalter's theory of human social capabilities.
