of Islamic Economics
from the Tafseer: Adhwa’ al Bayaan
by Al Imaam Muhammad Al Ameen Ash-Shinqitee
Once you know that all issues of economics refer back to the two
principles mentioned and that the verses mentioned demonstrated one
of them, then know that the other one which is earning wealth was
demonstrated by other verses which show Allah’s opening the doors
of earning one’s money in appropriate ways like mercantile trade and
other ways such as His saying:
{ْح أَنْ تَبْتَغُوا َفضْلً مِنْ رَبّكُم
ٌ علَيْكُ ْم جُنَا
َ َ}لَيْس
Also His saying:
{ِّل ال ِ ْن َفض ْ } َفإِذَا ُقضِ َيتِ الصّل ُة فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي الَْرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا ِم
And He said:
{ِّل ال
ِ ْن َفض
ْ ن فِي الَْرْضِ يَ ْبتَغُونَ ِم َ علِ َم أَنْ سَيَكُونُ مِ ْنكُمْ مَ ْرضَى وَآخَرُونَ َيضْرِبُو
َ}
What is meant by Allah’s bounty in the verses mentioned is profit of
trade such as His saying:
{ْعنْ تَرَاضٍ مِنْكُم
َ ًل أَنْ تَكُونَ ِتجَارَة ّ ِ}إ
The first of them is: Knowing Allah’s ruling about it because Allah,
majestic and lofty, has not permitted all ways of earning wealth but
rather has permitted some ways and forbidden others as He said:
{لّ الْبَيْعَ َوحَرّ َم الرّبا
ُ لا ّحَ } َوَأ
Also He has not permitted using ones wealth in every way but rather
He has permitted some spending and prohibited others such as He
said:
{َل حَبّ ٍة أَنْبَ َتتْ سَبْعَ سَنَا ِبل
ِ ل الِّ كَمَ َث
ِ ن أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِي َ ل الّذِينَ ُي ْن ِفقُو
ُ }مَ َث
He said about impermissible spending:
{ِّل الِ ن أَمْوَالَهُ ْم لِ َيصُدّوا عَنْ سَبِي َ ن الّذِينَ َكفَرُوا يُ ْن ِفقُو ّ ِإ
ًعلَيْهِ ْم حَسْرَة َ ُ} َفسَيُ ْن ِفقُونَهَا ُثمّ تَكُون
