Were Iranians initially poor, or did events occur that brought economic challenges upon them?

Iranians were not poor from the beginning.

We were a wealthy people, both financially well-off and culturally rich. Our history attests to this.

However, certain events unfolded, leading us to the current state where we intend to analyze them and discuss what needs to be done to overcome this poverty.

 

The Silk Road: Iran's Solid Wealth Document

You've likely heard the name Silk Road, connecting the East and West.

The central and most critical part of the Silk Road passed through Iran.

Any goods transported between East and West had to go through Iran, making it the world's largest commercial center in the past.

Deir-e Gachin, located on the historical Qom-Ray Road within the triangle of Qom, Garmsar, and Varamin, was one of the largest caravanserais on the Silk Road and earned the title of the mother of Iranian caravanserais.

If you look at the attire of our people in movies, read descriptions in historical books, or hear the accounts of famous travelers like Marco Polo regarding Iran and Iranians, you'll find that we were wealthy, genuine, and although circumstances threw us off our horse, we never lost our essence.

Despite the reasons we'll discuss later that led to our encounter with poverty, Iranian culture, literature, and knowledge remain exemplary and dignified.

 

The Revolutions in China and the Soviet Union

Over the past two hundred years, and perhaps less, we witnessed a transformation in global ideological systems.

Especially with the revolution in the Soviet Union and the rise of Bolsheviks, Lenin and Stalin's ideologies dominated Northern Asia.

The power consolidation in China, embracing a similar ideology, inadvertently influenced our people as well.

 

Bolshevik Thinking

In Bolshevik and communist thinking, authorities strive to create a working-class population as they find cheap labor essential for achieving their goals.

They deceive the people by portraying the dignity of workers and employees, creating conditions that seemingly make work and labor easy.

By offering inexpensive services such as insurance and healthcare, they divert individuals from trades, production, industries, market jobs, agriculture, and animal husbandry.

This leads people to choose desk jobs with monthly salaries, benefits, and pensions.

This situation allows the government to acquire numerous subjects.

People, in turn, focus on maintaining the government's rule rather than challenging it, as their livelihood depends on the ruling authorities.

 

Debt or Trap

Governments, by providing loans and collecting monthly payments, prevent people from taking any risks.

Individuals prefer not to engage in businesses that require at least a year to become profitable due to the monthly loan installments.

Hence, they opt for salaried jobs, allowing them to repay their loans with their monthly incomes.

Here, a wise person understands that it wasn't a loan but a trap – a means to tie people to the ground and hinder their ability to soar.

 

The Role of the United States and the West in Iranian Poverty

The mindset of our people, combined with unjust sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the West, has made trade challenging for Iranians.

As trade becomes difficult, so does production.

Consequently, many choose a path of employment, avoiding the risks associated with trade, industry, agriculture, and animal husbandry.

Sufi Thoughts on Poverty

Sufi thoughts further contributed to the glorification of poverty, viewing it as sacred and praising contentment. English Shia played a significant role in supporting this mindset.

They are responsible for the emergence of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia, ISIS in Iraq, and the Taliban in Afghanistan, all sharing the same poverty-centric ideology rooted in American influence.

 

The Supreme Leader's Economic Jihad

Despite numerous calls from Iran's Supreme Leader over the past twelve years for people to engage in economic jihad, the cultural roots of this concept, coupled with the negligence of certain officials and the negative effects of false ideologies, particularly during the corrupt Pahlavi regime, have hindered a shift in perspectives.

 

Referring to Two Narrations from the Prophet of Islam

It is narrated from the Prophet of Islam that one-tenth of the oath for a believer involves engaging in trade.

He also mentioned that whoever makes themselves dependent on others, loses hope in God's sustenance, and entrusts their sustenance to people will eventually fall into poverty.

 

A Message to the People

People should understand that Iranians were not initially poor but chose to become dependents and abandoned ancestral occupations that had once brought prosperity and honor.

In the current era, only a few are interested in these occupations, while many stand in long lines for jobs that pay monthly wages, willingly sacrificing their self-esteem and dignity.

Arad Branding strives to make people understand that earning through trade is much easier.

Rather than spending energy elsewhere for eight hours and becoming tired, why not invest that energy in trade?

It offers not only a much higher income but also enhances one's dignity, pride, intelligence, and personality.

Our loud cry will reach the ears of the world.

We know that initially, wise individuals will support us, and when God sees our patience, He will grant us victory.

After a while, other people will join us, and this is God's promise that those who persevere in the path of truth will undoubtedly receive support.

We take joy in this promise.

In the course of business, if we are not with businessmen, our working and technical energy will be depleted, and if we are in business with businessmen, it will bring you closer to business goals and authority day by day.
According to the orders of the Supreme Leader, production and export will lead to economic prosperity and the value of the national currency

Iranians were always rich in culture and livelihood. It is known that so many changes appeared during time but we shall not forget about our ancestors approach to wealth which was "Business"

Iranian products have great potential for exporting to other countries.
What we need to do is introducing Iranian products across the world

The only important way to fight with poverty is trading. Unfortunately there are many factors that prevent people to conduct business. The most important factor is believing that living is very short and we must not try hard.

Greetings to Iran and Iranians 🌹

Yes, Iran has a very rich culture and a history full of powerful rulers, although our contemporary history before the revolution was embarrassing, but there were many glorious periods of Iranian's power until Safavi kingdom.
Unfortunately, the fear of poverty and standing on our own feet prevented us from moving in the right direction.

Iran and Iranians have been rich. If they were not rich then nobody knows what would happen to them after the heavy sanctions against Iran. They are rich, intelligent, hardworking, and creative. They can turn all the threats and sanctions to opportunities. In fact nothing can stop them from following their goals. Ofcourse everything is tough and difficult and there are lots of obstacles on their way to reach their goals but they are still successful and strong.

Iran is an ancient land with a very valuable cultural history. A valuable and rich country with noble and cultured people. An ancient and worthy land. But unfortunately, in recent years, US sanctions, promotion of false western culture, and people turning to wrong ways of making money have caused the economy of this country to gradually deteriorate and decline. A country that is culturally and historically rich is less likely to be attacked by the enemy, but if we can improve the country's economy, we can definitely become one of the most powerful countries in the world, and that day is not too late

Good day
We already have those people around us who worked 8 hours a day but we can see when they are retired, they still have to find another job to get paid, so as we've gone through it like hundred times, the only way out of poverty is trading.

Having socialism attitudes lead to do something it may not beneficial for your own life. Forget yourself and just think about the society benefits makes people such as slavers who can't even think about doing something to change their lives.

it was a helpful article which mentioned the of history of Iran, history is one of my favorite subjects to study since you can learn lessons and not to repeat mistakes people did them before and one of the lessons I wanna mention is neglecting trade, it is that type of business that not only will bring you wealth but also to the producers, suppliers, workers and will effect the whole country.

it has been good that most of countries had close commercial relations in the past and it has been possible to cross the borders easily to exchange goods.

Apart from the pain of preferring a desk job, our people suffer from another problem... that is despair In fact, even if there are conditions for business and independent jobs for them, they are not disappointed or prefer not to enter that job and take risks. Based on my own experience, I can say that in Iran, money has been poured, you just have to ask for it and collect it.. What I am saying is that this demand requires hard work, management, focus, and purposeful progress.

Not only in the past this country has been rich, but still Iran is the fifth richest country in the world in terms of natural resources, With one percent of the world's population, it has more than 7 percent of the world's mineral resources. But as everyone mentioned, the only way to get rid of this challenging economical situation is through doing business and making deals with foreign counitries to help this country shine again in terms of wealth and economical well-being

Iran's natural resources, the existence of four seasons, its geographical location in the Middle East and most importantly the rich culture in this country make it a unique and valuable country in the world.

The best way to improve the economic situation of a country is to trade and increase exports. Iran was the world's largest commercial center in the past because of its geographical advantages.

hello guys!
Maybe we Iranians are in inflation, but as much as I can say, we Iranians have a sense of production in us and we are proud that we are an excellent producer and we are proud to export to any country.
thanks
