Abstract

When we study on the approach of the Holy Quran to the wealth subject, we can leady see that it does not reject the wealth but it approves it and says that it is necessary for surviving According to the Quran, the wealth is not an issue which must be kept away from again according to the Quran, extravagance and making wealth the purpose of the life are the behaviours which must be avoided. The Holy Quran has come as a strong message that removes all of the formations which makes the poor living without being aware of their rights and give up the staff of life however, this is a message which established love and friendship bridges between the poor and rich people but not hostility and grudge bridges. It (The Quran) never certifies that the wealth will circle only between the rich people as an exploitation and dominance tool thus many people will not find anything to spend. The verse which says that “...in order that in may become a fortune used by the rich among you…’’ (59. el-Hashr: 7)certifies this theory. Therefore the Quran has exposed the provisions required for decreasing the inequality between the wealths of the poor and rich to an optimal ratio and making everybody to have the standards for living humanely. It wants the existence of the strong public structure in which the equity is dominant in terms of the socio-economic issue as well as the all other issues and in which the balance is established between the wealths of the people.
