One of God’s natural traditions mentioned in the Quran is the tradition of blessing. According to this tradition, God showers blessings upon a society whose people possess piety. Given that, on one hand, the connection between religious faith and material blessings is not scientifically clear, and on the other hand, Western countries appear to have much more prosperity than Islamic countries, this doubt has been raised: if faith is the condition for receiving blessings, why do secular countries enjoy more blessings, while Islamic countries, which apparently have more faith and according to this tradition should receive more blessings, suffer from various forms of backwardness? Moreover, societal growth and progress are primarily the result of psychological and sociological characteristics (intelligence, planning, effort, collective wisdom, production and consumption management, etc.) of the politicians and people of those societies, and the piety mentioned in the Quran, if not an obstacle, is not influential! In this writing, by examining the concepts of faith, piety, and blessing, and explaining the characteristics of a blessed life from religious and scientific perspectives, as well as analyzing Western and Islamic societies in terms of possessing the characteristics for receiving blessings, we have addressed this doubt.
