Savings in the concept of Islam

Bookmark and Share
Pattern is a form of commentary from an understanding of the principles or values. In this pattern Prophet SAW and the Friends of scholars, along with scholars of shahih can be a reference in the search for the definition and interpretation of a concept of Islam (especially economic) in modern life. This pattern is for me to explain many things about many issues in the field of Islamic Economics.

Many who ask me, like what the concept of savings in Islam when I give a lot of examples in the pattern of the Friends of treating property. Many friends who seemed to conduct activities not "saving" in a very modern definition related to the potential investment. The Friends of the more behavior zuhud and qona'ah in extreme form, that is not leaving the remaining property in the form of "saving".

The reason is not very relevant, if we make a plea that the application fund intermediary has not been developed at that time. By doing so, the reason may be that is is that the elimination property (deposit - D)) behavior in Islam has two motives; guard (saving - S) and investment (Investment - I), and consumption outside the charity.

D = S + I

not like a conventional formula for this:

D = S = I


In addition, the reason is also valid for the proposed competition is so high and the behavior of friends who believe the promises of Allah SWT. Promises to be the guidelines are: Allah SWT will fold doubling rizki someone spend that wealth in the way of good or God will not give a trial (which is a risk the property, life and energy the future) to someone outside the person's ability .

Thus, one way to expedite rizki (property) in the perspective of not saving but spending. Of course, in the form of benevolence. Besides, the elimination wealth in the form of savings will not exaggerate because they believe that Allah SWT will not be beyond the ability to give a trial himself.
