Quranic Economics 101

About this lecture

In this thought-provoking khutbah, the speaker draws on four years of intensive Meccan Qur'an study to reveal an often-overlooked theme: the Qur'an's systematic critique of economic corruption and the corrupt elite. He demonstrates how the Qur'an's condemnation of unchecked greed, wealth hoarding, and inequality in Makkah directly connects to the practical legal solutions revealed in Madinah — from the prohibition of riba, gambling, and alcohol to the Islamic inheritance system — showing that Allah's laws form one comprehensive, interconnected solution to the timeless problem of economic injustice.
