Abstract
Economic education of adolescents, as a comprehensive process, faces challenges such as the conflict between religious teachings and common economic attitudes, consumerist advertising, and the weakness of practical education. This study aimed to investigate the role of "responsible philanthropy" in the economic education of adolescents based on Islamic teachings. The research method was descriptive-analytical and library resources including the Quran, the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), and related research works were used. Data were extracted and examined by qualitative content analysis and inference from religious texts. The findings showed that responsible philanthropy, as a combination of a desire for goodness and a commitment to action, can lead to social justice, prevent moral corruption, increase material and spiritual sustenance, and strengthen social solidarity. Also, obstacles such as economic problems, weak religious beliefs, and materialism make it difficult to realize this principle. Finally, practical education, group activities, and responsibility in the family were suggested as strategies to strengthen this concept. The results of the study indicated that economic education based on responsible philanthropy lays the foundation for raising a committed and capable generation for the future.
