Economy and its role in Islam (1st part)
Abstract
Today, economics has emerged as an independent science in which everyone is engaged. This research explores the importance of the economy, its role, and potential solutions for curbing inflation, reducing poverty, increasing prosperity, and fostering economic growth, all from the perspective of religious verses and traditions, as well as other rational and narrative justifications.
The findings indicate that a positive attitude toward the world’s wealth and life, along with dedication to work and production, forms the foundation of economic growth and development.
With careful management and planning, issues like inflation, poverty, and unemployment can be effectively addressed. According to the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, wealth and worldly possessions are permissible if obtained through legitimate means and utilized to draw closer to God. Conversely, a life focused solely on spiritual matters, while neglecting worldly responsibilities, is viewed as undesirable.
Key words: definition of economy, Quran and economy, legitimacy of work, inflation, justice, economic prosperity.

As a set of life instructions and an educational guide for man, the religion of Islam has predicted all his needs and provided special programs for each of these needs. One of these needs is material and economic issues, which play an important role in various dimensions of human life, and Islam has placed a strong emphasis on providing this need to the required extent.
About economics and its various aspects, much research has been done in the past, each of which has special advantages. In the upcoming research, which has been done using documentary methods, in addition to increasing the readers’ awareness of the importance and position of the economy from the perspective of the Qur’an, Sunnah, and rational and narrative reasons, we will try to answer the following questions in general:
