Islamic economic system: from principles to microeconomics and macroeconomics fields (44)

Continuation

Therefore, in Islam, labour that comprises work:

o   intellectual;

o   as well as physical

is considered the basis of all:

ü richness;

ü and property.

There is both:

§  a right to work;

§  and a right to the product of that work

as well as a right to benefit from the rewards of divine providence.

Work must always have an ethical-moral component, either:

ü in itself;

ü or in its outcome (i.e., charity, contributing to the community, etc.).
