经济政策是处理人类事务的法律所要达成的目标。伊斯兰教的经济政策，在于让每个人的基本需求都得到充分满足，并在其作为某一社会中生活的个体、该社会有其特定生活方式的前提下，使其尽可能地满足其奢侈性需求。因此，伊斯兰教是把每一个个体单独看待，而不是把生活在国内的个体总和作为对象。它首先将其视为一个人，需要充分满足其全部基本需求；然后再将其视为一个特定的个体，使其尽可能满足自己的奢侈性需求。同时，伊斯兰教还将其视为与他人存在某些关系的人，这些关系以特定的方式、依照特定的样式运行。 伊斯兰经济政策的目的，不是仅仅提高国家的生活水平，却不去保障每个个体的生存权利得到充分保障；也不是仅仅提供社会中的满足手段，任由人们尽其所能地攫取，而不保障每个个体的生计权利。相反，它针对每个人作为人、依照特定关系而生活时所面临的基本问题，进而使其提高生活水平、按照特定的生活方式获得自身的舒适。正因如此，它不同于其他一切经济政策。

The economic policy is the objective of the laws which deal with the management of human affairs. The economic policy in Islam is to secure the satisfaction of all basic needs for every individual completely, and to enable Him to satisfy his luxuries as much as He can, as a person living in a particular society, which has a certain way of life. So Islam looks at every individual by himself rather than the total of individuals who live in the country. It looks at Him as a human being first, who needs to satisfy all of his basic needs completely, then it looks to Him in his capacity as a particular individual, to enable Him to satisfy his luxuries as much as possible. Islam looks to Him at the same time, considering Him a person linked with others by certain relationships run in a certain way, according to a particular fashion. The purpose of the economic policy in Islam is not to only raise the standard of living in the country without looking to secure the rights of life for every individual completely. Nor is it just to provide the means of satisfaction in the society, leaving people free to take from such means as much as they can, without securing the right of livelihood for each individual. Rather, it addresses the basic problems of everyone as a human being, who lives according to particular relationships, then enabling Him to raise his standard of living and achieve comfort for himself, according to a particular fashion of life. As such it is different from all other economic policies.
