Main ideas of Islamic economic system (1)

-      Islam is a complete way of life.

-      It is not only concerned with the spiritual upliftment of human beings, it is equally concerned about their material and physical wellbeing.

-      Islam guides its followers in financial and economic matters, in social and political affairs, and also in moral and personal spheres of human life.

-      Islamic economic system is not in itself complete.

-      It is a part of the overall system of life.

-      Islam is a compact system of life in which all its aspects (religious, ideological, social, political and ethical) are well synchronized.

-      People will succeed only if they put the whole system into work, and not just choose and pick from it according to their likes and dislikes.

-      The simplest way to describe the Islamic economic system is by highlighting its differences with capitalism and communism.
