Economic Solidarity Mechanisms in Al-Zuhayli’s (d. 1436 AH) Tafsir Al-Munir: A Thematic Study

Abstract

Abstract

This research aims to highlight Tafsir Al-Munir by Dr. Wahbah Al-Zuhayli (may Allah have mercy on him), focusing on the means that Allah Almighty specifically mentioned in the Qur’an. Dr. Al-Zuhayli devoted great
attention to interpreting the Book of Allah, and his tafsir encompasses a wide range of sciences and diverse aspects. The interpretation of the Qur’an represents a sound constitution that engages scholars in exploring what sustain.
their lives and the lives of their communities, and what rectifies their conditions. Its treasures never run out, nor do its wonders ever cease.
The Glorious Qur’an includes in its verses the reasons for human happiness, what improves their affairs, preserves their rights, and helps them fulfill their duties. Among these matters that significantly affect societies—and
which the Qur’an carefully addresses—are mechanisms of economic solidarity.

The research is divided into an introduction,  four main sections, a conclusion, and a list of sources
and references.
- The preface introduces Dr. Wahbah Al- Al-Zuhayli and his tafsir.
- Section One discusses Zakat (almsgiving).
- Section Two addresses Kaffarat (expiations).
- Section Three covers Wasiyyah (bequests).
The study concludes with a summary of the key findings.
