We can neither mention all of the riwa'ya't in this regard nor touch on their educational details, therefore, only point to this particular fact that the Islamic ethics and educational system augment in human being the spirit of generosity before they emphasize the economic freedom and the possibility of using it to his own particular benefits.

The story of Qa'ru'n [Korah] is well-known for its focus on this ethical principle (And seek by means of what Allah has given to you the otherworld's abode and do not neglect your share of this world ... (28:77)). This story and this principle is a multifaceted Islamic creed which, if prevails in the society, will provide the greatest grounds for the implementation of the desirable economic system. D.

Al-infa'q al-musta [commendable spending for a divine cause] and the extended life: Here, a wonderful aspect of the solution to the problem of conflict between the inherent motivations for serving one's self and the motivations for serving the society is manifested. According to this notion, one begins with the prolongation of his own life and ends up with a level of eternity in the hereafter.

He finds out that self-interest and social interest are integrated; a notion that encourages him to make continuous infa'q which does not ever run out of its driving forces according to the principle which says "whoever establishes a favorable habit he will be rewarded both for it and for the action of whoever follows it." And here we would like to remind emphatically the extended effect of waqf since, as the result of these motivations, the private property is transferred to the public ownership and man's permanent exploitation of his property is realized.

E. Shukr al-ni`mah [gratitude for a blessing] means to make the best use of the wealth and avoiding its waste: The major problem in the global economic domain does not lie in the weakness of growth rates of natural resources and their failure to keep up with the population growth rate but it lies in the failure to make ideal use of natural resources or, as the nu#u'# put it, in kufra'n al-ni`mah [ingratitude for the blessing] and squandering the natural, mineral and animal resources and so forth (And He gave you of whatever you asked Him for and if you count Allah's blessings you will not (possibly) obtain their number.

Man is indeed very unjust, very ungrateful. ... (14:34)) And it is a kind of shukr al-ni`mah to make ideal use of he labor force and to avoid wasting it.
