1. Quran is the ultimate miracle verifiable in every age
2. This is an age of Science3. Science is the study of universe4. Universe is the work of Allah 5. Quran is the word of Allah6. No contradiction between the two
QURAN & MODERN SCIENCE
• The Quraan is the truth from the Almighty Allah. As such, it is in harmony and predates modern scientific discoveries.
• The Quraan is primarily a book of faith rather than a book of science. Non-the-less, Allah has embedded signs in it that endorse its authenticity.

Modern Economic PrinciplesGovernment Companies Individuals
1. Economics is a Science of wealth (to teach selfishness). K.K Dewett
2. Economic is made to study “wealth” rather than “welfare”.
3. Whatever the economics is concerned with it is not concerned with: Study of relation of real goods (physical science) and wealth (monetary
science) Study of relation of material welfare (of individual) and general welfare (of
humanity). Study of relation of “short term needs: and “long-term needs”
1. Wealth Tax (عبادت)
2. Guarantee basic human needs
3. Restricting wealth accumulation
1. Earned income (محنت)
2. Restricts consumption (اعتدال)
3. Distribute surplus wealth (عبادت)
