Much emphasis is placed on work, effort, and production in Islamic jurisprudence, and also production and employment are effective in attaining the economic growth of society by cultivating the land and meeting human’s needs. Economic growth in Islam, however, is not restricted to raising income and includes notions, such as distributive justice and social justice. From this view, production and employment, if they contribute to the realization of social justice, cause economic growth, and vice versa. If it is not effective in reducing poverty and discrimination in society, we could not talk about economic growth.

Economic growth in Islam needs a fair distribution of wealth, and thus, in macro-policies of economic improvement and growth, in addition to paying attention to gross national income, the issue of social justice and distributive justice should be regarded.
