Means of economic solidarity In Surat Al Maeda
Abstract
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the best of messengers, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions.
The Holy Qur’an called Muslims to solidarity and cooperation among themselves in all aspects of life, especially in the economic aspect because of its great impact on human life and his psychological and social status, so that the Islamic nation would be like one body, the rich fill the need of the poor, and the strong the need of the weak. And to set an example for other nations.
Thus, my research came to show important means of interdependence between a Muslim and his Muslim brother, and I included two topics in the first topic, in which I spoke about penances and explained their meaning, types, when they are obligatory for a Muslim, and the reasons that called for them. And its amount, and those who deserve it from the poor and needy, and this is what I talked about in the first requirement, then I explained the role of these expiations in solidarity among Muslims by transferring surplus money to the needy and strengthening the purchasing power of the poor and moving demand and supply in the market and this is what came in the second requirement of the first topic.
And from the expiation legislation, it is clear to us the humanity of Islamic legislation and its keenness to develop the feature of economic solidarity among Muslims and its keenness to meet the need of the needy and the poor, and not to make them vulnerable to the loss of the necessities of life, such as food and clothing. Islam is to guarantee the needy their right to solidarity with their able-bodied brothers.
Then came the second topic showing the meaning of the will and its legitimacy in being one of the most important means of economic solidarity among Muslims, and this is what came in the first requirement, then came the statement of the role of the will in economic solidarity in the second requirement of the second topic, and finally came the conclusion that showed the most important results of this research.
