Poverty, as one of the oldest social issues, has attracted the attention of people, thinkers and human and religious schools of thought. Islam, as a divine religion, has also paid special attention to this social phenomenon. This research work is an investigation into the theory of poverty alleviation of the Quran and narrations, which has been conducted using grounded research. The results of the study reveal that, from the perspective of the Quran and narrations, poverty is an undesirable social phenomenon that is considered to require a comprehensive struggle and battle for individual and social reasons. In the theory of poverty alleviation of the Quran and narrations, poverty is said to be caused by two groups of individual and social factors. The Islamic theory also addresses the underlying conditions and intervening factors that lead to the aggravation of poverty in society through interfering with the equitable distribution of wealth in society and reducing the incentives to strive to earn a living. Therefore, Islam has offered individual and social strategies to control poverty and alleviate poverty in society. The theory of Islamic poverty alleviation also deals with the consequences of poverty in society, including social, moral, psychological and religious consequences. This theory has theoretical advantages and operational capability compared to the five main theories of poverty, namely the theory of social pathology, the theory of poverty culture, the theory of policy failure, the theory of structural constraints and the theory of functionalism.
