Abstract

A close look at the biography of the Prophet (pbuh) and the verses of the Qurā’n dealing with transactions involving money and finance gives us a framework(1). At the person to person, microeconomic level, fair dealings are required: No taẓālum (transgression on one another). At the social, macroeconomic level, the focus is on enabling every human being a dignified living with an eye on the future generations as well as on the interest of other creatures. Islam sought to ensure this by prohibiting interest and gambling and removing excessive ambiguity (gharar). It also laid down that the have-nots have a share in the wealth of the haves and the ruler is charged with securing social objectives. Credit enables. It has always been there, even before money. In the recent usage of mobile devices and other internet based forms of money, the scope of credit has also expanded. By eliminating middlemen/ intermediaries, trust-based direct lending/finance has been made possible by new technology. Sharing may thrive better in this new environment. Only Allah knows what new possibilities further technological developments may bring. It is safer to stick only to the ‘Framework’ and be open to all and any new forms that may replace credit cards. إن نظرة عن كثب على سيرة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وآيات القرآن التي تتناول المعاملات التي تنطوي على المال والتمويل تعطينا إطارا. في الشخص إلى شخص ، ومستوى الاقتصاد الجزئي ، وهناك حاجة إلى التعاملات العادلة: لا (تجاوز واحد على الآخر). على المستوى الاجتماعي ، على مستوى الاقتصاد الكلي ، ينصب التركيز على تمكين كل إنسان من العيش بكرامة مع التركيز على الأجيال المستقبلية وكذلك على مصلحة المخلوقات الأخرى. سعى الإسلام إلى ضمان ذلك من خلال حظر الفائدة والقمار وإزالة الغموض المفرط (الغار). كما نصت على أن من لا يملكون لهم نصيب في ثروة الأغنياء وأن الحاكم مسؤول عن تأمين الأهداف الاجتماعية. الائتمان تمكن. كان دائما هناك ، حتى قبل المال. في الاستخدام الأخير للأجهزة المحمولة والأشكال الأخرى المستندة إلى الإنترنت ، توسع نطاق الائتمان. من خلال القضاء على الوسطاء / الوسطاء ، أصبح الإقراض / التمويل المباشر القائم على الثقة ممكناً بفضل التكنولوجيا الجديدة. قد تزدهر المشاركة بشكل أفضل في هذه البيئة الجديدة. الله وحده يعلم ما هي الإمكانيات الجديدة التي قد تحدثها التطورات التكنولوجية. من الأسلم الالتزام بـ "الإطار" فقط والدخول إلى جميع النماذج الجديدة التي قد تحل محل بطاقات الائتمان.
