The Prophetic Paradigm of Rooting the Civilizational Components to Invest Human and Natural Resources According to Financial Transactions (An Analytical Study)

Abstract

The Prophetic Sunnah attached importance to what Allah has endowed the human body with in terms of mental energy with which a person thinks and plans, and physical energy with which he builds and invests. Moreover, it was keen on marshaling intellectual and physical capacities without forfeiting one or neglecting the other, thereby balancing between them. Actually, it called for harnessing both, whereby thought and the body are among the components of the structure of civilization and where both function in their domains of creativity and ability to contribute.

This aspect which the present study tackles through elucidation and exposition identifies texts of the Prophetic Sunnah to highlight the substantial role of the Prophetic Sunnah in building human civilization and its care for the human elements in terms of the intellectual and physical dimensions,

Moreover, the study brings into focus the civilizational aspect in the Prophetic Sunnah which states the role of Islam in building the earth by harnessing the resources and wealth which Allah endowed it with, both apparent and hidden, as one of the components of the structure of human civilization through the following axes:

First axis:           The civilizational components in the investment of human, intellectual  and physical resources in the Prophetic Sunnah.

First:                   Civilizational components in the investment of human intellectual resources in the Prophetic Sunnah.
