I’JAZ IQTISHADI : The Distribution Of Income And Wealth In The Qur'an

Abstract

The Qur'an encompasses all kinds of solutions and issues that arise within society. Its discussions cover all aspects, including economic and social aspects. This paper examines another dimension of the distribution of goods, referred to as distribution from the perspective of the Qur'an and Islamic economics. By using a library research method, where the author collects data from books, scriptures, journals, and articles, and employing a descriptive-analytical approach, this research aims to understand how the principles of justice and compassion in the Qur'an can be applied in economic distribution to achieve human welfare. The findings indicate that fair and equitable distribution is the key to creating a prosperous and harmonious society. These principles are not only relevant in a religious context but also have practical applications in modern economic policies. The study also highlights the importance of incorporating Islamic values in wealth and income distribution policies through systematic frameworks outlined in the Qur'an. By applying the core principles of Islamic economics, such as zakat, infak, and sadaqah, this research proposes a more just and sustainable distribution model. The study concludes that the implementation of justice principles through distribution can reduce economic inequality and improve overall social welfare. This, in turn, proves that the Qur'an was revealed to bring prosperity to all layers of society, and confirms that Islam is truly rahmatan li al-‘ālamīn (a mercy to all the worlds).
