Distribution Of Wealth In Islam

The distribution of wealth is one of the most important and most controversial subjects concerning the economic life of man, which have given birth to global revolutions in the world of today, and have affected every sphere of human activity from international politics down to the private life of the individual. 

For many a century now, the question has been the center not only of fervent debates, oral and written both, but even of armed conflicts. 

The fact, however, is that whatever has been said on the subject without seeking guidance from Divine Revelation and relying merely on human reason, has had the sole and inevitable result of making the confusion worse confounded. 

In the present study, we propose to state as clearly as possible the point of view of Islam in this matter, such as we have been able to deduce from the Holy Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the writings of the “Thinkers” (to use a current idiom) in the Islamic tradition. 

The time and space at our disposal being short, it would not be possible to discuss the subject in detail so as to cover all aspects. 

We shall, however, try to set down the essential and fundamental points in a concise but comprehensive manner.
