2 Uchumi - Mfumo wa Kiuchumi wa Uislamu | Quran Course

Ingawa sayansi ya uchumi na mfumo wa kiuchumi vyote vinahusika na uchumi, maana zake husika zinatofautiana kwa kiasi kikubwa. Mfumo wa kiuchumi hauathiriwi na mabadiliko ya kiasi cha utajiri. Mabadiliko ya kiasi cha utajiri hayaathiri umbo la mfumo wa kiuchumi. Kwa hiyo, ni kosa kubwa kuangalia uchumi kama somo moja, na kulijadili kama mada moja, kwani hilo husababisha ama kosa katika kuelewa matatizo ya kiuchumi yanayohitaji kutatuliwa, au kutoelewa vipengele vinavyoongeza utajiri wa nchi. Hii ni kwa sababu usimamizi wa mambo ya jamii kuhusu uzalishaji wa utajiri ni suala moja, na usimamizi wa mambo ya watu kuhusu usambazaji wa utajiri ni suala jingine kabisa. Kwa hiyo, somo la kusimamia mali ya kiuchumi lazima litenganishwe na somo la kusimamia usambazaji wake. La kwanza linahusiana na njia, na la pili linahusiana na fikra. Mfumo wa kiuchumi lazima ujadiliwe kama fikra inayotegemea mtazamo wa maisha (imani ya itikadi fulani), na sayansi ya uchumi lazima ijadiliwe kama sayansi isiyo na uhusiano wowote na mtazamo wa maisha. Somo muhimu zaidi katika muktadha huu ni mfumo wa kiuchumi, kwa sababu tatizo la kiuchumi linazunguka mahitaji ya binadamu, njia za kuyatimiza, na matumizi ya njia hizi. Kwa kuwa njia zipo katika ulimwengu, uzalishaji wake hausababishi tatizo la msingi katika kutimiza mahitaji, bali mahitaji ndiyo yanayomsukuma binadamu kuzalisha njia hizi. Hata hivyo, tatizo halisi lililopo katika mahusiano ya watu, yaani katika jamii, linatokana na kuwawezesha au kuwazuia watu kutumia njia hizi. Hili linatokana na suala la umiliki wa binadamu wa njia hizi. Hii ndiyo msingi wa tatizo la kiuchumi, ambalo lazima lishughulikiwe. Kwa hiyo, tatizo la kiuchumi linatokana na suala la kumiliki manufaa, si kutokana na uzalishaji wa njia zinazotoa manufaa hayo.

Though both economic science and the economic system deal with the economy, their respective meanings differ significantly. The economic system is not affected by fluctuations in the amount of wealth. The fluctuations in the amount of wealth do not affect the form of the economic system. Therefore, it is a serious error to look at the economy as one subject, and to discuss it as one topic, as this leads to either error in understanding the economic problems needing to be solved, or misunderstanding the factors that increase the wealth in the country. This is because the management of the community’s affairs in respect of the creation of wealth is one issue, and the management of the people’s affairs in respect of wealth distribution is another issue entirely. So, the subject of managing the economic material must be separated from the subject of managing its distribution. The first is related to the means and the second is connected with the thought. The economic system must be discussed as a thought that is based upon the viewpoint of life (the creed of a particular ideology), and economic science must be discussed as a science that has no relationship with the viewpoint in life. The most important subject in this context is the economic system, because the economic problem revolves around mankind’s needs, the means of their satisfaction, and utilising these means. Since the means are present in the universe, their production does not cause an essential problem in satisfying the needs, but rather the needs drive man to produce these means. However, the real problem present in the relationships of people i.e. in the society, results from enabling or restricting people from utilising these means. This results from the subject of man’s ownership of these means. This is the basis of the economic problem, which must be treated. So the economic problem results from the subject of possessing the benefits, not from producing the means which give the benefit.
