Muslim Woman - Islam Economic Foundations
The Islam Economic Foundations of Curriculum is based on principaly
Four factors that contribute to the production of wealth, the goods and the possessions:
(a) a person’s physical and mental capabilities
(b) the education and training he/she has received, the opportunities available to him/her; and
(d) his/her industry, the work he/she puts in. His/her natural endowments are a gift of Allah Almighty and are not acquired through his/her own efforts. A person is indebted to the community for the education and training he/she has received. The society too provides him/her with opportunities for producing wealth.This makes it clear that people can justly claim only that portion of the wealth, which is the outcome of the labour he/she has put in to produce it. And not the whole. For this purpose the Quran provides the following factors that are to be made as the economic foundations of the curriculum underpinnings:
1. Contract between an Islamic State and the believers to be established.
2. Sources of production are for the benefit of humanity as a whole.
3. All that is surplus to the needs of an individual belongs to the society.
