Human-centeredness in economic jihad

In the economic jihad, man is not the only means of production, but the axis of the economy. In the sense that economic movements should not be the same as the movements of the capitalist system for more production, exploitation and exploitation, but should be for the advancement of the human soul and within the framework of divinity and deification of mankind.

If the economic work is done in an exemplary society, it is always aimed at creating a bed for excellence and human dignity. Because the economy or materiality is not the goal, but it is a tool for mankind so that humans can discover their existential capacities and realize the divine names in themselves and become divine and sit as the manifestation of lordship and lordship. Be guided to perfection.
The model society should provide the conditions in the society so that everyone becomes aware of the philosophy of their creation and the world, and becomes aware of their rights and responsibilities, and has the basis of becoming a god in a healthy environment. Therefore, comfort and relaxation are emphasized as a central principle. This comfort and peace is realized in a justice-oriented atmosphere. Therefore, partial justice, meaning economic and material justice, has been emphasized by Islam and the Qur’an as the initial goal of every human society. Because a society that is aware of justice and wants it can provide the necessary platform for understanding the goals of creation. And therefore, God asks the prophets to make the societies aware of this partial justice and encourage the masses to rise up for its realization. Because the awareness of the masses of people of every religion, religion and race about partial justice and rising for it, provides the best conditions for the continuation of the path.

What is important is how to achieve justice. Justice-seeking methods are the basis for achieving this. Therefore, the goal does not justify the means, the tools are chosen based on divine criteria, the human personality is not trampled by animal selfishness, the foundation of economic movements is not based on selfishness and power-seeking, lawful profit, balanced income, clean living, healthy balance , is the criterion of economic behavior. Fraud and underselling, lying and trickery, collusion and bribery will have no place in these methods.

Those who choose a path other than this will leave the economic cycle and lose their social position. The reason why Islam ordered to cut off a thief’s hand is that whoever meets him in the first session, his cut off hand attracts his attention and he considers the care of his property and wealth in his social behavior with him. The severed hand calculates its future from the very beginning and adjusts its movement.

Therefore, real economic jihad requires redefining economic behavior in the macro and micro management of the society.
