Islam is a Deen which gives guidance for Aqaid, Ibadat, Mu’ashrat,
Akhlaq & Mu’amalat.
The humanitarian goal of achieving the well being of all members of the
human famil cannot be attained b concentrating !rimaril on the
material constituents of well"being and making ma#imi$ation of wealth as
the main ob%ective of conomics.
It is also necessar to raise the s!iritual content of well being and reduceall the sm!toms of anomie, like famil disintegration, heav interest
based debt !aments, conflict and tensions, crime, alcoholism, drug
addiction, and mental illness, all indicating lack of inner ha!!iness and
contentment in the life of individuals.
