Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Economy Its Ideological and Legal Foundations The Proper Grounds Which Islam Prepares For Its Economic System In this regard, the analyst can find in front of him a huge wealth of noble nu#u'# that emphasize various concepts and numerous rules and fixed historical laws and that all serve the cause of Islamic economy and participate, in a natural way, in the realization of its far-reaching goals. We mention below a number of these issues: A.

The Real ownership belongs to Allah, the Exalted: This principle is the most important tenet that forms man's image as it leaves its visible marks on the economic behavior of Muslim individual. Ownership belongs only to the Unpaired, Almighty Allah and He the Exalted bestowed an assumed, legal ownership upon the human being so that it distributes the properties among its individuals and exercises this ownership according to the purposes that Allah chose for the benefit of humanity.

This notion has great influence on the exclusion of negative effects on ownership in its absolute capitalistic form. B.

The purpose is to reclaim the land through a joint, human effort and responsibility: In this way, the man believes that the human effort from the beginning to the end is one and that the important goal is to make the humanity subservient before God, establish the worshipping society and prepare the grounds for it through making the earth inhabitable, extract the greatest benefits from it to the advantage of all through performing the duties arising from the joint responsibility.

Diversion from this is diversion from the purpose. C. Ethical concepts in the service of economic cause: Islamic nu#u'# are full of a magnificent ethical plan which leads to its contribution to this economic system and to the realization of its goals. Most of the riwa'ya't [traditions], on one hand, encourage in the human being the spirit of cooperation, responsibility, Islamic fraternity, itha'r [self-sacrifice], zuhd [piety], and compassion for the miseries and aspirations of others.

On the other hand, they drive away from the human being such vices as stinginess, greed, exclusivism, transgressing the rights of others, opportunism, avarice, and envy. Ima'm @a'diq (`a) counted all good manners as the troopers of `aql [wisdom] and all vicious attributes as the troopers of jahl [ignorance].
