Religious constitutional identity in Iranian society, seeks to represent its distinctive identity with others through its lifestyles and consumer policies. In this essay, the main emphasis is on the Qur'an school, which is itself a branch of Sunnis and is now inhabited by Sunnis in the Kurdish cities. These people are particularly active in the major cities of Kurdistan, West Azarbaijan and Kermanshah, and are interconnected with each other. This research is qualitative and has been done with an oral history approach and using deep interviewing techniques. Accordingly, 32 members of the Qur'an school who were residing in different cities were selected through targeted sampling and interviewed about their lifestyle during the three months. The Grounded theory is used to analyze the data. The findings of this study indicate that among members of this religious community, the discussion of a kind of panic towards the world outside the congregation and the fear of penetrating this world into their relationships in an obsessive manner in the form of their predictions about consumption policies are rightly seen. The members of this religious community, in defense of the ruling discourse of the congregation, have, in fact, resisted the dominant social and social dynamics that underpin the foundations of power and economics, and the same values and selective patterns have brought about the uniformity and level of these members.

Introduction
  According to the title of this article, lifestyle, social identity, and religious community of the Qur'anic school form the three main concepts of this article, and the main problem of the research is formed around the link between these three fundamental concepts.
   The general purpose of this research is to show that the congregation and religious congregational identity in Iranian society has achieved a distinct and different identity from others through lifestyles and non-consumption of some goods and life patterns. In this article, the main emphasis is on the Qur'an school,which is a branch of Sunni religious people, and today they live individually or in groups in Kurdish cities in the west of the country.Therefore, due to the limited and closed relationships of this group, the main problem of this research is to examine the relationship between the lifestyle and the social identity of the religious community of the Qur'anic school, several main questions are considered, which are:
 What is the role of lifestyle in the continuity and strengthening of people's collective identity?
 How do congregations distinguish themselves from other identities according to their lifestyles and consumption patterns?
Materials & Methods
This research is qualitative and has been conducted using in-depth interview technique. Based on this method, 32 members of the Qur'an school were selected by purposeful sampling and an interview was conducted about their lifestyle during the first quarter of 1400. First of all, because this school has strong intra-group relations, it is necessary to be present among them. We went to experts and people familiar with the subject and through them we got to know other members of this group and through this group we were able to question the desired components. In practice, we use the snowball method as a sampling strategy. In this research, we chose Of course, in this school, the school council, which is actually the thinking and decision-making brain of the entire Quranic school, has officially banned any type of interview.
Discussion & Result
     Pursuing the new social identity in this article through the use of the 20 components above shows a kind of policy-making regarding consumption by these members, especially the Central Council of the Qur'an School. According to the core categories that are repeated in all 12 consumption components above, relationships of introversion and avoidance of consumerism and not cutting off communication with school (or like-minded friends) indicate the same policies that are hegemonic and Ideology has dominated the individual. The core categories show that two types of instructions, positive and negative, are the basis of these members' decisions regarding their desired consumption. Lack of luxury, lack of individualism, external dishonesty, advertising, and lack of consumerism as negative requirements have even led to the removal of many goods and social actions from the consumption basket of the family and their social relationships; Satellite, television, newspapers, funeral ceremonies and weddings are among these and positive requirements such as cooperation, self-improvement, friendship, simplicity, guidance, legitimacy and nationalism have given their lives a coherent and separable style. The positive aspects of the consumption instructions have made the strict instructions in the consumption of food, clothing, automobiles, household appliances, socializing, etc. more prominent among them.
   The emphasis on non-individualism and, according to it, attention to intra-group relations has even prepared the conditions for sports and public activities among them. The diagram below shows the tendency of members to avoid aspects of daily consumption and move towards relationships based on awareness and socializing. In the middle of this diagram, where the instructions are subject to the observance of positive principles and at the same time the obstacles and negative principles, the consumption and observance of issues that are part of the general needs are considered. However, on the negative level, the products of satellite, television, newspaper, etc. are not considered necessary, because the knowledge base for them has not been defined, and on the positive level, the knowledge base and sociability of the goods and relationships have been fully defined and explained and communicated at the same time.  The distinctiveness of these members is the result of the difference in consumption and their approaches to their lifestyles and biological customs. This distinction is the product of their view on life and the world. Their collectivist identity as a tool to solve problems and questions and in a selective and interpretative way has caused them to understand and interpret the world and their surrounding environment, this interpretive device uniquely regulates their tendencies, choices, values ​​and actions. ; Although the world view and the value system and vision of these members are always accompanied by resistances and the congregation and the congregational identity can never apply its congregational identity in general, but the adjustments within the congregations and the congregational identity for Biological policies create a kind of protective umbrella that provides the members' cognitive security.
Conclusion
   Among the members who were interviewed, the emphasis on concepts such as non-luxury, non-consumerism, legitimacy, non-forgetfulness, simplicity, cooperation, etc. has a decisive role in choosing their lifestyle. This issue is strengthened by the membership in the Qur'an school community as a symbolic capital. Although the amount of economic capital is variable among them, Anna's emphasis on cultural, social and symbolic capitals has prevented the formation of a class structure and, in her opinion, domineering
