🎯

If you remember only one thing from Theme VII: 59:7 — so that wealth does not circulate only among the rich among you. It is the sharpest single line in the Qur'an on economic justice, it distinguishes the Islamic system from both capitalism and socialism in one clause, and it can be deployed in every economic sub-topic of this theme.
