Abstract
Although poverty is a tangible and well-known phenomenon, as a sociological concept, it is tied to concepts such as social inequality or class differences. Some scholars, in explaining and analyzing poverty, have considered social institutions and structures to be involved in its emergence. Others have theorized that poor people, in turn, play an effective role in its emergence as social agents. For this reason, if we accept that poverty exists in societies and families in any case, then the poor people, as a stratum of society, are involved in the decline of social capital. This research studies the relationship between poverty and the decline of social capital from the perspective of Imam Ali (AS) using a descriptive-analytical method. The collection of data is also done using a library method. The research hypothesis is that, from the perspective of Imam Ali (AS), there is a meaningful relationship between poverty and the components of presence in associations, social participation, social communication, social trust, and observance of social norms, which are among the most important components of social capital.
