The economic effects of charity

If the economic laws that are emphasized in the religion of Islam are followed correctly and everyone does their homework according to the circumstances, a significant part of the economic problems of Muslims will be solved.
Mehdi Qarasheikhlo, the head of the Dar al-Qur'an Organization, regarding the fact that one of the issues emphasized in the Holy Qur'an and referred to in several verses is the discussion of giving in the way of God, said: Among the aspects of giving in the way of God, which is one of the characteristics of the pious and Believers are also counted, it is charity.
This Quranic activist said about how much of our possessions to give in charity and whether the amount for this is specified in the hadiths, he stated: In the narrative texts, the amount for charity is not specified, but the principle of giving charity and giving in the way of God is very much in the Holy Quran. It has been taken into consideration and it appears that everyone should spend as much as they can.
People, considering the financial possibility that God has given them, in addition to fulfilling their religion by paying (Khums) and (Zakat), they solve the burden of the economic problems of the society, and if this mission is done well and we do it. Let's keep in mind that most of the economic problems and obstacles in Muslim societies will be solved by themselves and there may be no need for the government to enter the field directly.
This Quranic activist added: "Fortunately, with the religious support and duties that we have, there should not be any poverty in the Islamic country, but sometimes we do little and problems arise for various sections of the society."
The economic system of Islam is organized based on goals and principles, one of the most important of which is healthy economic circulation in all social classes and dimensions. Accordingly, in order to prevent the increase of wealth and its accumulation in the hands of certain sections of the society, God has ordered that parts of the property be given to the Islamic government in a special way. Also, the Prophet (pbuh) is assigned to take general and special alms, including zakat, from the rich and give them to the poor in order to prevent the economic gap. (Hashr, verses 7-9; Anfal, verses 1 and 42 And 43) The Prophet says about this: I am in charge of taking alms and zakat from your rich and giving it to your poor.
Proper distribution of income is one of the goals of the Islamic economic system; As the Islamic school considers the root of many economic and social problems to be the unfair distribution of incomes and seeks to solve this socio-economic problem by establishing appropriate rules. Charity is one of these Islamic rules. In Islam, special emphasis has been placed on giving charity, so that in the Holy Qur'an, traditions and deeds of the innocents, it is emphasized that it can play an effective role in the distribution of income in the society.
