اثر الدوافع العقدية والاخلاقية في تحقيق الرفاهية الاجتماعية والاقتصادية في الاقتصاد الاسلامي

The impact of doctrinal and ethical motives in achieving social and economic well-being in the Islamic economy

Islamic economic offers a balance between spirit and material. It does not separate between ethical values and economy. So, the objectives of Shari’ah can be achieved. Individual and social welfare cannot be attained without ideological and ethical motives. This is exactly what distinguishes Islamic economy from others. Ideological motives are represented in Islamic concepts; vicegerency (istikhlaf), wealth is from Allah, and the belief that construction is mandatory. Ethical motives are represented in altruism, brotherhood, support, collaboration, and honesty. Theses motives lead to: first, achievement of social welfare. That is, establishing a cooperative, stable, fair and equal society. Second, achievement of economical welfare through support for individual consumption which accordingly will lead to an increase in the amount of goods and services consumed. On a general level, that will contribute to redistribution of incomes and wealth, providing subsistence, increasing production and investment, and creating jobs opportunities.
