The Islamic Piety and the Issue of Wealth

Conclusion

The process of wealth creation always needs a fluid interaction between complex institutions to succeed. Through a brief review of the Islamic worldview, we may conclude that Islamic piety, which originates from a coherent system with well-connected components, is capable of motivating the wealth creation process to create a higher quality of life. Salvation as an indicator of high-level self-interest is regarded as a high potential motivation to serve people and for society to passionately pursue God’s pleasure. Since Islamic piety may not be realized except by deep attention to the interest of people in all generations and by strong endeavors to increase the stock of human and social capital, it imbues every province of life completely. Hence, we may expect that the Islamic worldview is capable of synthesizing all various economic schools of thought in a convergent trend.
