- Abstract
This study examines the relationship between economic behavior and the socio-religious dimension, focusing on how religious teachings influence individual and community economic decisions. Using a qualitative approach and literature study, this study applies several theoretical frameworks, including Rational Choice Theory, Economic Ethics Theory, Religious Social Function Theory, and Social Capital Theory, to analyze the data. The findings show that religious values play a significant role in guiding economic behavior, both through the avoidance of economic practices that are considered unethical, such as usury, and through the promotion of fair and responsible economic practices, such as zakat and infaq. In addition, the socio-religious dimension strengthens social capital, which supports economic cooperation and improves people’s welfare. In conclusion, the integration of the socio-religious dimension in economic behavior not only strengthens the social structure but also contributes to the overall economic well-being. This study recommends strengthening religious education, which includes economic aspects, to maximize its positive impact on community welfare.
