The economic system of Islam (2)

While such matters are no doubt important, Islam is more concerned with the spirit of the economic system.
A society that implements Islamic laws and promotes Islamic manners will find that it bring together all the systems – social, economic, and so forth – that it deals with. 
Islam teaches that God has created provision for every person who He has brought to life.
Therefore, the competition for natural resources that is presumed to exist among the nations of the world is an illusion.
While the earth has sufficient bounty to satisfy the needs of mankind, the challenge for humans lies in discovering, extracting, processing, and distributing these resources to those who need them.
Islam consists of a set of beliefs which organizes the relationship between the individual and his Creator; between the person and other human beings; between the person and universe; and even the relationship of the person to himself. 
In that sense, Islam regulates human behavior, and one type of human behavior is economic behavior.
