Description
Islam & Wealth advocates a finely balanced Islamic approach to wealth creation, accumulation and distribution.
The relationship between Islam and wealth has long been subject to scrutiny and varying interpretations by scholars, religious practitioners and businessmen alike. There has long prevailed the notion that Islam views wealth with disdain, advocating only moderation in its acquisition and accumulation. But the truth is, Islam encourages its adherents to strive for material, moral and spiritual success in this world. Such exhortation has often been challenged by the more orthodox of religious advocates who seem uncomfortable with the material dimension of the success equation.
Islam encourages reasonable wealth but condemns excessive wealth. However, even considerable wealth is permitted by Islam provided that it is accumulated legitimately and expended responsibly in compliance with Islamic tenets.
This timely book is an eye-opener in more ways than one; it will open the doors of opportunity and motivate Muslims to be comfortable with the task of wealth creation, something that needs to be promoted within the Muslim community today. All Muslims should therefore strive for wealth blessed by Allah SWT which will provide enduring tranquility and prosperity for the rich and their families, as well as the community at large.
