Fundamental
Objectives in Islamic
economics are:

One will not abuse the power and wealth given
to him for the justice of the society;
since we are only the khalifah of Allah
granted and being trusted to the use of
ownership of the bounties given by Allah.
Surah Taaha; 20:6, “He’s the one who own the
bounties whatever on this earth and in the
outerspace (sky) or in between or down beneath
the wet earth,” for the welfare and justice of the
society.
and to perform his duties to pay the zakat
as a voluntary duty for social justice.

chance to acquire education.

which are scarce for the growth of the
economy.
also to consider the development of spiritual aspects of
a man’s life.
The qualitative aspects of the economic growth
differentiate a Muslims country’s growth path with
others - to include all the moral, spiritual and material
aspects of human well being.
to fulfill the society’s needs and to produce goods
according to the hierarchy of consumption in Islam:
Dharuriyat
Hajiyat
Kamaliyat
Tarafiat (to be avoided)
32
4. Maximisation of job
opportunities.
to reach the best efficiency in the
production
and
create
high
employment.
in needs for social justice is to produce
goods at the maximising revenue with
high numbers of job opportunities.
33
Conclusion……
the difference between the objectives of an
Islamic country to others is the pursuit of the
conventional objectives to that of a Muslim
country which is guided and constrained by
its own ethical and Islamic philosophy.
Islam as an ad-Deen that is a complete
constitution that organizes all aspects
of life and relationships based on the
principle of Tauhid and believe that
Allah is the only one.
