The meaning of lifestyle in economic interactions is the kind of Islamic teachings that the society follows in its economic life and solving its economic problems. The economic discourse of Islam is not separate from its ethical discourse, and the two of the discourses are completely interrelated. This interrelation by itself is one of the most important features of Islamic economics.In the field of economic interactions, Imam Sajjad (A.S.) considers commitment to some insights, thoughts and beliefs necessary for activating Islam’s rulings in the field of economics. Some of these insights and beliefs include believing in God’s justice in spreading His blessings, the necessity of satisfaction with divine ordinance, earning wealth being one of the most important areas of human examination, etc.Multiple practical solutions could be found in the prayers of al-Sahifah al-Sajjadiah, including thanksgiving, preserving dignity and self-respect, acquiring lawful wealth, leaning toward Quran for increasing God’s blessings, moderation in costs and avoiding debts, etc. The research method in this article is descriptive, analytical and text-based; and the goal is to explain the principles and methods of economic interactions based on the prayers of al-Sahifah al-Sajjadiah.
