Needs It is also an important purpose and objective of the

Islamic economic system that basic necessities of

life like food, clothing and shelter should be

provided to all the citizens of the Islamic state.

Circulation of Wealth

Another important objective of economic system of Islam is to discourage hoarding and ensure the constant circulation of wealth.

So the Quran not only discourages hoarding of wealth but also threatens persons responsible for this heinous crime with the dire consequences.

The economic system of Islam achieves this objective through Zakat. Zakat is a great enemy of hoarding. If it is paid regularly on the hoarded wealth, it would eat away the whole or main portion of such wealth in a few years time.

Circulation of Wealth

Thus a person possessing such hoarded

wealth is forced to bring it into circulation

by investing it or spending it.

The objective of circulation of wealth is

also achieved through other compulsory

and voluntary Sadaqat, through laws of

inheritance and will and through

monetary atonements.

Elimination of Exploitation

To achieve this end Islam has taken many effective measures;

First such measure is the abolition of interest or usury which is and has been perhaps the worst instrument of human exploitation.

The Qur’an calls it Riba and declares it a heinous crime which amounts to war against God and God’s messenger.

And prohibits Gharar, because Gharar is thing, which can easily exploit wealth.
