The effect of belief preferences on social change in the Koran

Social change describes "the changes occurring in social network, social institutions and values. There have been a lot of theories about the dimensions, factors, agent and direction of the changes happening in the societies. In general, all religions and especially Islam have addressed the respondent mass to change the societies. The Koran evaluates the struggle of humanity on basis of tawhid and shirk and handles the positive and negative changes having occurred due to this struggle within the frame of believer and unbeliever belief identities. Accordingly, the agent society of the change undergoes a positive or negative change according to the faith and kufur belief principles it has placed in its core. There is true belief based upon true knowledge behind the change that happens in a positive direction due to believer identity. Amal Saleh will appear as a natural result of this knowledge and belief and the society possessing these qualities will erect justice and ethics. On the other hand, there is wrong belief based upon wrong knowledge behind the change happening in a negative direction due to unbeliever identity. The natural result of this is that the society possessing these qualities withdraws in the social domain that is it perishes. Key Words: Change, the Koran, Belief, Believer, Unbeliever
