6. Social Welfare: A Basic Islamic Value
❖ According To Quran:
▪ “It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces towards East or
West; but it is righteousness to believe in Allah and the Last
Day, and the Angels, and the Book and the Messengers; to
spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for
orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer, for those who ask, and
for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and practice
regular charity, to fulfil the contracts which we have made; and
to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and
throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth,
God fearing”. [Al-Quran 2:177]

7. Social Welfare: A Basic Islamic
Value
❖ In the long ayah of Surah al-Baqara, the Qur'an refers to social welfare
as a basic Islamic value which is perhaps more important than simply
facing towards East or the West to make five times daily prayer.
❖ While talking about the articles of faith, the Qur'an reminds a believer
that the declaration of faith in Allah, His Book and the Last Day is not
sufficient unless a conscious effort is also made to care for relatives,
orphans, the needy and travelers as well as to ensure the welfare of
those who ask for help.
❖ It also emphasizes the need to use resources for the liberation of people
who have been denied freedom and liberty in their own homeland (or
abroad).

8. Continued
The Qur'an (9:60) :
▪ "Verily the sadaqat (i.e., taxes on Muslims) are only for the needy, and the
poor, and those who work for these (taxes), and those whose hearts are to
be reconciled, and to free the necks (i.e., slaves and prisoners of war), and
the heavily charged, and in the path of God, and for the wayfarer-a duty
imposed by God; God is Knower, Wise."
