Vulnerable Group

Poverty is a significant societal problem and a major issue in human social affairs. In the Holy Qur'an, the term "Bāʼis" is used alongside the poor, which indicates that these two social classes are distinct. The present study uses a descriptive-analytical method with a social approach and library-based data collection to examine the concepts and instances of "Bāʼis," its causes, its impact on social relationships and community structure, and solutions to address this social stratum. The findings of this research show that the factors creating the "Bāʼis" social class include: Flawed macro-management, injustice, discrimination, usurpation of rights, hoarding. These factors lead to a decline in beliefs, social instability, moral deviation, social fragmentation, and ultimately the destruction of society. Solutions to this problem include: Short-term solutions; these are transient and aim to alleviate the suffering of this class. They include reducing unemployment, building affordable housing, providing loans, and offering social support. Long-term solutions; these are more fundamental and include reforming the country's economic, social, and cultural structures. This involves reforming tax collection and spending, a more equitable distribution of wealth and income to achieve social justice, proper governance, economic planning, and meritocracy, a focus on work, promoting public ethics, avoiding extravagance, implementing social support policies, and improving public skills. These measures help mitigate the negative effects of this social class and inequalities, leading to a better society.
