In Islamic economics, we can also pursue this goal and analyze economic phenomena and community behaviors. Therefore, the main question of the current research is that the principles of the positive economic, can be deduced from the verses of the Holy Qur'an and the traditions? For this purpose, using the conceptual analysis method, all Quranic verses and narratives of some books of narrative were studied and the principles and traditions mentioned in the form of the declarative sentence and the conditional proposition (causal relation) and in the framework of economic resources, economic man and Production, distribution and consumption sectors were categorized. It is worth mentioning that in this article, only propositions were extracted that were both economical and predictable, while propositions that have only economic predicament are also widespread in Islamic sources.
