Economic Injustice

Economic injustice is a major cause of social troubles in most of the countries of the world and Pakistan is no exception. The rich in Pakistan are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer. We need to look for a solution. Fortunately, our Islamic teachings are best suited to provide a solution through the study of teachings of the Prophet (SAW), his companions and the religious jurists. Economic injustice has increased poverty and the health of the nation especially of poor classes is deteriorating. The social values are becoming weak and even crimes like theft, fraud and looting are becoming common because of unemployment. The income of people is decreasing due to covid'19 and people are forced to become selfish. There is a great need to bring economic justice in Pakistan through the study of Seerah e Nabvi (SAW). Our Prophet (SAW) was able to build an equitable economic system under his own leadership. In his days people were benevolent and they rejected oppression and aggression. We should be able to know the methods which he adopted to bring reforms in the economic field in the state of Madinah. This study includes an introduction, its importance, the research plan and methods, the concept of economic justice and cultivating economic values in the Muslim society.

The implementation ofthe capitalist system has eliminated the Islamic values in economic practice. After the financial crisis hit the world, the capitalist system reaped many questions and its greatnessbegins to be doubted. The capitalist system implementationprecisely creates new problems in the economy. The concept of individualism which is the main key in capitalist practice only creates economic injustice and misery of the poor. The only economic theory that is expected as a light in dealing with economic problems is an economic system that is able to create justice,the welfare of all parties and blessings both the world and the hereafter. The theory is the Islamic economics which in practice is inseparable from Islamiceconomic law. Islamic economic law that underlies the Islamic economic system is totally different from the capitalist economic system.Keywords: Islamic Economic Law; Islamic economics; Capitalist Economy

Capitalism as an economic system that is implemented by most countries in the world today, in fact it gave birth to injustice and social inequalityare increasingly out of control. Social and economic inequalities are felt both between countries (developed and developing countries) as well as insociety itself (the rich minority and the poor majority). The condition is born from the practice of departing from faulty assumptions about the man. In capitalism the individual to own property released uncontrollably, causing a social imbalance. On the other hand, Islam never given a state model that guarantees fair distribution of ownership for all members of society, ie at the time of the Prophet Muhammad established the Islamic government in Medina. In Islam, the private ownership of property was also recognized but not absolute like capitalism. Islam also recognizes the forms of joint ownership for the benefit of society and acknowledges the ownership of the state that aims to create a balance and social justice.

Order Equality

<p><em>This paper is based on a two decade observation on the dilemma of order and justice, leading to an attempt to analyze the social-economic factors underlying the historical roots of injustice. On its course it attempted to take lessons from historically proven axioms provided by certain heavy weight thinkers. While trying to make the best out of those axioms, the analysis could not ignore the hard facts of the daily life of the billions of people suffering from unending injustice in most parts of the world, in the rich and let alone in the poor parts of it. Neither could it escape from criticizing the ubiquitous mess in the justice system, almost universally. Although the overall problem of injustice does not seem to provide much hope for a better life of the people at large, the conclusion of this paper tried to distant away from a pessimistic stance and instead proposed an agenda for those who may concern to be carried out. This paper contains forethoughts of a book in the making regarding basically the same problem.  </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p align="right"><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>:</em></p><em>history, authority, rationality, law, order, equality, justice</em>

Economic Injustice

The social work profession has been criticized for abandoning its mission to serving the poor and challenging economic injustice. The authors’ evaluation study examines the effectiveness of a poverty simulation experience in an undergraduate policy class to counter the trend that diverges from the profession’s original mission. The poverty simulation was designed to emphasize the structural contributions of poverty, dispel myths about people who live in poverty, and encourage students to remain committed to challenging social and economic injustice. Data demonstrate that the poverty simulation experience increased students’ knowledge of the challenges of living in poverty.

The Impact

The Letter of James addresses the dichotomy between the socioeconomic classes of the rich (πλούσιος) and the poor (πτωχὸς). This research reveals the social and labour relations resulting from this dichotomy and the wealth of socioeconomic data contained in this letter. The rich are alerted to the consequences of their unrighteousness towards the poor, and the poor receive exhortations of encouragement. The metaphoric use of �richness� is also examined. This research focuses on the socioeconomic activities and attitudes that this dichotomy prompted during the second part of the first century, and it indicates how the economic system impacted on and influenced the lives of the early Christians in the 1st century Mediterranean world. James bounces these questions around to cast the rich, as well as the Christian assembly, in a bad light for condoning the mistreatment of the poor. His three rhetorical questions are quite to the point and are meant to be answered affirmatively.

A atividade profética não terminou com o exílio babilônico, em 587 a.C. Cremos que ela continuou por meio de novas vozes, pessoas, grupos. Adquiriu novos contornos em novos ambientes. Eis a temática central deste artigo ao apresentar uma reflexão sobre o capítulo 13 do livro de Sirácida ou Eclesiástico, na ótica do comportamento entre o pobre e o rico. Em nossa hermenêutica, apostamos que temos nessas páginas bíblicas uma profecia. Uma profecia de cunho sapiencial que se espalhou em outras narrativas, na época pós-exílica (Sb, Sl, Jó, Ct e Pr). Ela adquire novos contornos entre acrósticos, poemas, provérbios e sentenças. Buscamos contextualizar a época do surgimento do livro de Sirácida, para em seguida, analisar métricas, antíteses e propostas sociais da narrativa. Diante do risco em que o mundo, o planeta se encontra, recompor o tecido social só terá validade se consideramos os grupos desfavorecidos. THE ASTUCTION OF THE POOR IN CONFLICT WITH THE RICH: THE TEACHING OF SIRACID 13 The prophetical activity did not end with the babilonical exile, in 587 b.C. We believe that it continued through new voices, people, groups. It acquired new outlines in new environments. That is the focal point of this article in presenting a reflection on the chapter 13 of the book of Sirach or Book of Ecclesiasticus, from the optics of the behaviour dynamics between the poor and the rich. In our hermeneutics we consider that we have, in these biblical pages, a prophecy. A prophecy of wise nature that was spread in other narratives, in the post-exile era (Ws, Psalm, Job, Song, and Prov). It acquires new outlines among acrostics, poems, proverbs and sentences. First, we aim to contextualize the time of the appearance of the book of Sirach, and then, to analyze metrics, antitheses and social propositions of the narrative. Considering the peril that the world finds itself in, it will only be valid to recompose the social tissue if we consider the disadvantaged groups.

This study explored whether vertical position affects social categorization of the rich and the poor. Experiment 1 used high- and low-income occupations as stimuli, and found participants categorized high-income occupations faster when they were presented in the top vertical position compared to the bottom vertical position. In Experiment 2, participants responded using either the “up” or “down” key to categorize high- and low-income occupations, and responded faster to high-income occupations with the “up” key and low-income occupations with the “down” key. In Experiment 3, names identified as belonging to either rich or poor individuals were presented at the top or bottom of a screen, and the results were the same as in Experiments 1 and 2. These findings suggest that social categorization based on wealth involved perceptual simulations of vertical position, and that vertical position affects the social categorization of the rich and the poor.

This special issue composed of essays that brainstorm the triadic relationship between Covid-19, Race and the Markets, addresses the fundamentals of a world economic system that embeds market values within social and cultural lifeways. It penetrates deep into the insecurities and inequalities that have endured for several centuries, through liberalism for sure, and compounded ineluctably into these contemporary times. Market fundamentalism is thoroughly complicit with biopolitical sovereignty-its racializing socioeconomic projects, cheapens life given its obsessive focus on high growth, by any means necessary. If such precarity seemed normal even opaque to those privileged enough to reap the largess of capitalism and its political correlates, the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic with its infliction of sickness and death has exposed the social and economic dehiscence undergirding wealth in the U.S. especially, and the world at large. The essays remind us of these fissures, offering ways to unthink this devastating spiral of growth, and embrace an unadulterated care centered system; one that offers a more open and relational approach to life with the planet. Care, then becomes the pursuit of a re-existence without domination, and the general toxicity that has accompanied a regimen of high growth. The contributors to this volume, join the growing global appeal to turn back from this disaster, and rethink how we relate to ourselves, to our neighbors here and abroad, and to the non-humans in order to dwell harmoniously within socionature.
