Abstract
In this article we wanted to show the methods which Islam, as the most perfect
religion, has presented to mankind so that he can learn the way of acquiring
healthy economy, in accordance with his nature and requirements, and can apply it
in line with his perfection. This study is descriptive in nature and based on
documents and resources relevant to the subject. The main question raised in this
article is: “What strategies has Islam taught to people for healthy growth and
development of the economy?”
The scope and range of this research revolve around the Islamic economy, in line
with the Quranic verses and narrations (hadiths). In this paper it is assumed that
Islam – since it is the most perfect religion and is derived from divine revelation –
has introduced certain affairs to people as guidelines to develop a healthy
economy, according to the requirements and nature of human beings, such that
these guidelines give a value-based and spiritual rather than a mere material status
to economy of the societies.
