Lifes tyle sugges ts intertwined and interconnected network of factors affecting human’sway of life. If lifes tyle, particularly in economic field, is formed in a proper manner, it canturn into a reinvigorating factor to boos t the power of resis tance, otherwise it can intensifythe obs tacles on the way. Social inclination toward consumerism has imposed massivedamages on the country in economic and cultural aspects. The consumption pattern inany society has a decisive role in financing manufacturing sector, type of manufacturedproduct and dis tribution sys tems. This is because optimal financing for supplying goodsand services depends, to a great deal, upon identifying proper pattern of consumption,promoting cultural awareness to that end, and its dominance in the society. The principalques tion, in the meantime, is whether expanding and promoting Islamic lifes tyle in thesociety can help alleviating poverty. This paper has applied survey research and organizedques tionnaires to collect data from 425 respondents from among the university s tudentsin Mahabad, using s tratified sampling. For data analysis we have used Spearman’s andCramér’s V tes ts by SPAA16 software. Results of the research showed that there is apositive relation between Islamic lifes tyle in attitudes toward consumption and saving.Thus Islamic approach toward lifes tyle can help avoid unnecessary consumption andmake proper saving decisions.
