The method of data analysis in the qualitative part was based on the analysis of themes in "Max Kyoda" software and in the quantitative part based on the model of structural equations of SmartPLS software and SPSS software.
Findings: In connection with the analysis of Iranian Islamic lifestyle components, 110 themes in the form of 10 components including thinking and creativity (4 concepts), health and hygiene issues (5 concepts), economic issues (4 concepts), defense and security issues (4 concepts) ), social and sociological issues (7 concepts), belief and religious issues (10 concepts), cultural and artistic issues (6 concepts), scientific and educational issues (7 concepts), psychological issues (4 concepts) were introduced. Finally, in order to validate this model, the results of the Stone-Geisser index showed that the index for financial and economic components, morals, family and Iranian Islamic lifestyle has a stronger estimate than other components, which have positive values. This index shows the appropriate quality of the reflective measurement model.
Conclusion: By comparing the results with the fit indices of the model, we come to the conclusion that all the models obtained from the components of the Iranian Islamic lifestyle variables are acceptable.
