Quranic Culture and Financial Subjects

Sent down from God in the Arabic language to the Prophet of Islam, the Holy Quran directs its message to the faithfuls to teach them Quranic culture. Among the issues that are suggested, emphasized, and commanded in the Quran is the issue of finances, i.e. one‘s personal finances and social economics, both of which play important roles in one‘s life. People‘s livelihoods are dependent upon these matters, and one‘s social relations are also affected by them. The subjects that Quran teaches include the giving of charity and loans and the abstention from taking usury, and the quality of which is discussed and taught to those who have faith. By repeating these subjects in various chapters, the Quran reminds Muslims and gives them practice in these acts so that they become habitual, and society adopts the way of God to achieve a peaceful existence and financial parity. Using an analytical-descriptive method, this article gives the instructions of the Quran regarding the usage of property and presents. Human societies can set these solutions as an example for themselves to reach worldly happiness and be needless of others.
