The Role of Islamic State in the Economic Welfare of the Citizens

شہریوں کی معاشی کفالت میں اسلامی ریاست کا کردار

Abstract

Islamic literature places a strong emphasis on social justice, income distribution, and the welfare of the less fortunate and is informed by the Quran and Hadiths. In terms of justice and socioeconomic growth, the idea of an Islamic welfare state is very important. Such a civilization or country is founded on Islamic economic principles, which place a strong emphasis on social justice, fair wealth distribution, and the welfare of all citizens. It imposes a moral obligation on the state to care for its citizens and provide their economic security. Upholding the principles of economic fairness, environmental sustainability, and social welfare in line with Islamic teachings is the main goal of an Islamic welfare state. This calls for the delivery of basic services, the reduction of poverty, the promotion of economic opportunities, and the guarantee that no citizen is left behind. Additionally, it entails opposing Islam's prohibitions on exploitative economic behaviors like usury and excessive speculation. When it adheres to its values, an Islamic welfare society or state is essential for promoting its citizens' economic prosperity and social cohesion. It can lessen income inequality, alleviate poverty, and make sure that everyone in the community has access to needs like education, healthcare, and employment opportunities by embracing Islamic economic ideas. More economic stability and prosperity can be attributed to this.
