In the contemporary world, where societies face challenges such as dependency, identity disintegration, and subjugation, revisiting religious texts to arrive at a framework capable of safeguarding Islamic society from these afflictions appears essential. Accordingly, the present study examines this question: from the perspective of the Holy Qur’an and narrations, what characteristics define an honorable society, and what are the strategies for realizing it? To this end, using a descriptive–analytical method and library-based sources, the article first clarifies basic concepts such as “honor (ʿizzah),” “social honor,” and “society,” and then reports some of the most important views of Western thinkers on social honor and an honorable society. Subsequently, by analyzing Qur’anic verses and narrations, the article seeks to identify the characteristics of an honorable society and the means to achieve it. The findings indicate that, from a religious perspective, an honorable society is characterized by belief in the One God, commitment to piety, adherence to divine values, self-sufficiency, and scientific capability. The strategies for realizing such a society include adherence to religious leadership, acting upon the Divine Book, preserving unity and avoiding division, power-building within the global system, promoting public participation, implementing justice, and fostering a culture of contentment. Finally, the article suggests that by returning to Qur’anic and narrational teachings, the model of honor can be revived as a cultural and social strategy in Muslim societies.
