Abstract :

Religion is a combination of both internal and external factors. The internal part includes religion concepts and external part appears in rituals and social roles. Since the social aspect of religion has a valuable effect on the people tendency towards the religious concepts, its reflection must be in harmony with their social position. This subject has been studied both in religion resources and in the literature with an ethical and social perspective. Saadi, in his Golestan, examined the behavior of religious people from three approaches: duty-oriented, end-oriented and virtue oriented approaches. Regarding their frequency, the virtue-oriented approach received less attention by Saadi. The writers, with relying on Golestan, consider and analyze the most important obstacles in duty-oriented approach and praxeology.  Factors such as Self-interest and expediency are among individual obstacles of moralism. Moreover, lack of welfare livelihood is one of the social obstacles. The methodology of this research is a library-type study.
