Ṣadr explained their duties and laid out the Islamic economic program in line with governance.

Muhammad-Bāqir al-Ṣadr believed that Islam’s economic program is derived from components that the religion has proposed as the wisdom behind fixed rules, and that laws should be determined based on these components. This author believed that the economic system of Islam is different to other economic systems in the world and that the bank plays an important role in economic development. Ṣadr considered the capitalist system of banking as facing many problems and therefore believed that the bank should be used for constructing an Islamic economy, according to the instructions of Islam.

==Introduction and structure report==

The book al-Islām Yaqūd al-Ḥayāt, written by [[Sayyid Muhammad-Bāqir al-Ṣadr]], is a collection of six articles that discuss Islam’s approach about the government and its plan for it. In this book the author ruled the establishment of an Islamic government by people under supervision of jurists as legitimate. He specified the first article, titled “a brief look on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Constitution,” to discussions around legitimacy of the Islamic government, duties of religious authorities (Marāgi‘) and differences between Islam and other governmental schools of thought. In the second and third articles, titled “an image of the economy of the Islamic society” and “detailed programs of the economy of the Islamic society,” he employed the concept of constant elements, meaning the rules of Sharia clearly written in religious texts, and used them to discover the Lawmaker’s intentions from establishing these rules, and believed that laws should be codified, regarding the issue of economy, that can be based on the Sharia. In the fourth article, titled “man’s vicegerency and the prophets’ supervision,” he investigated the position of people and jurists in the governmental system of Islam, and in the fifth article, titled “the sources of power in the Islamic government,” he examined the intellectual ideas of Islam for government. In the sixth article titled “general rules of banking in the Islamic society,” Ṣadr considered the bank as an important institution in the Islamic economy and offered a new way of banking with goals and a management style that are different from those of capitalist banks.

These articles have been written after the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979 upon the request of a group of Lebanese scholars. This collection of articles has been published in the form of a book by different publishers in successive years. A Persian translation of this book has been produced in 2014 (1393 SH) by Mahdi Zandīyi and published by Dār al- Ṣadr publication. About 20 years before writing these articles, a book titled [[Iqtiṣādunā]] was published by the author, in which the economic topics of this book are explained in more details.
