You are surely Compassionate, Ever Merciful.´

On 59:7–10

كَيْ لَا يَكُونَ دُولَةً بَيْنَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ مِنكُمْ

59:7-10 The statement, “That (wealth) should not circulate among your rich people” lays down the basic principle of social economics and justice. The less privileged groups of a society are described in this and the following four verses. In most societies the wealth is in the hands of few, but because this wealth has been created through the labor of both the rich and the poor, the less privileged should also benefit from the wealth of the rich. This social justice principle was introduced by Islam in the teachings of the Holy Qur’ân and not by any western revolutionary like Marx or Lenin, who taught corrupted forms of this basic principle. It is significant to note that the wealth of the rich is neither condemned nor are any limitations laid on them.
