Genel olarakİslam dininin, hayatın her yönünde takipçilerine kılavuzluk ettiğine inanılmaktadır. Bu yüzden, İslam'ın tüketicinin satın alma davranışını nasıl etkilediğini bilmek çalışmanın ana amaçlarından olacaktır. Elde edilen bulgular, pazarlamacıların, Türk tüketicilerinin dini inançlara dayalı olarak satın alma lüks niyetini daha iyi anlamalarına yardımcı olmak için faydalıdır. Veriler SPSS ve AMOS 20 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmaya 400 katılımcı olmuştur, veriler temizlendikten sonra, 232 kişi % 58’lik bir cevaplama oranıyla anketleri tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, dini inancın davranışa yönelik inanç, normatif inançlar ve lüks ürünlere yönelik satın alma niyetlerini etkilemediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, bulgular sadece öznel normlar ile lüks ürünlere yönelik satın alma niyetleri arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu makale, lüks marka yöneticilerine, dinin tüketicilerin satın alma kararları üzerindeki etkisi konusunda bilgi sahibi olmaları açısından faydalı katkılar sağlayacaktır. Bu sayede, pazarlamacılar etkili pazarlama stratejileri oluşturabilir ve tüketicilerin dini inançları, tutumları ve öznel normlarıyla uyumlu ürünler ve hizmetler sunabilirler.
