Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Systems Economic System ================== It is the system that outlines for Muslims how to gain wealth, invest, spend and distribute it. The ultimate goal of the economic system in Islam is to spread justice among people so that not a single person remains destitute among the people.

“Surely Allah enjoins the doing of justice and the doing of good (to others)...” Holy Qur'an (16:90) How Wealth is Distributed in Islam By wealth we mean money and possessions such as land, minerals, livestock, water, woodlands, crops, foodstuffs, clothes, furniture, means of transportation, all of which are of great benefit to the Muslims. Allah, the Beneficent, has created whatever man needs to lead his life on earth. Wealth is abundant and plentiful.

This wealth is for all people and everyone has the right to have his share. The Most High says in the Qur'an: “And the earth, He has set it for living creatures.” Holy Qur'an (55:10) Man can get his wealth through two channels: 1. Labor The Holy Qur'an says: “...so walk in its broad ways and eat of His provision, and to Him is the return .” Holy Qur'an (67:15) Man can work and get whatever he deserves as a reward. He can work in agriculture, industry, trade, or any other acceptable domain. 2.

Need The man who can no longer meet his basic requirements due to sickness, infirmity, disability, old age, loss of the one who supports him or because his income cannot meet his needs, is supported by the Islamic government. He is given a share from the money collected from zakat, khums and other sources. Man's life is financially secure in Islam if he is unable to work. But, if he can work and does not want to work, then he is deprived of any financial support.

Islam wants man to be an active, fruitful worker who depends on himself to secure his needs and provisions. Poverty and its Solution in Islam Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (a) is quoted as saying: “Allah, the Most Powerful and High, certainly made in the wealth of the rich an adequate share for the poor, if it was not so He would certainly make their share greater.

If they are needy, it is because some of the rich refuse to give them their share.” [^1] This tradition hadith shows the extent of attention given to solving the problem of poverty and preventing its evil consequences. Poverty is a dangerously grave problem for society and is one of the root causes of backwardness and decay.
