The pattern of consumption behavior of societies deeply affects the allocation of resources for production and distribution of goods and their economic, social and political development. This study explores the issue through an Islamic approach and tries to design and explain the Islamic model of consumers’ behavior by resorting to the Quranic verses as the main religious source. In other words, the main question of this research involves the Quranic indications of the consumers’ behavior. To find an answer to this question, all the verses of the Holy Quran were studied, and then coded through thematic analysis. In the first phase, 300 verses somehow relating to the subject were identified. Afterwards, in the analysis phase, 900 indicators were established. The indicators were categorized and refined into themes, and as the scope of the study expanded, further evidences were recognized as the main themes. They were analyzed with reference to the interpretation of Allameh Tabatabaei. Accordingly, by extracting four comprehensive themes, eight organizing themes and 17 basic themes, and the themes of consumption behavior were derived from the Holy Quran and the model of consumption behavior was designed.
