Social Security for Human Livelihoods Resources
The attitude taken by Muslims against “those who enrich themselves” and “those who bermewah-luxury”, and bad picture described by the Qur’an to them, and the threat of bad luck that would befall them and their communities, Islam does not mean praise and choose pauperism, poverty and humiliation. Also does not mean that Islam forbids men to own property-wealth and collecting it. But that is prohibited by Islam is an act of “hoarding” wealth and accumulate wealth-stacked it, and allow it to be utilized by humans in general. Muslims and Islam invites man to hold the property only appropriate levels of personal needs, to then menginfakkan excess of what it needs. With infak levels are not limited to the size of charity only, such as suspected some people, but also infak that use excess personal property from the levels it needs for the sake of His people, in any form of investment and business.
While the treasure hoard and monopolize wealth, is prohibited by Islam. Status rich who can meet the personal needs is a command and the targeted objectives of Islamic Shari’ah, not just “allowed” only.
For then what is excessive use of wealth – which has to meet personal needs – in the form of business and investment in the public interest and development, and to lift poor people into a group of people who fulfilled their basic needs.
