| Abstract | ||
| Economics is a social science that studies how societies manage resources to satisfy people’s need’s. Economic Creed of Islam includes all original bases in economic life that is connected to social justice. Islam is generally part of the social organization of life; thus, religion is the rim that circulated this creed. As the Glorious Quran is part and parcel of this elite religion, so the researcher tries to examine terms in Quran that express Economic Creed of Islam. However, the idea depends mainly on the Islamic thinker’s, the martyr M.Baqir al-Sadir (mercy of Allah be on him), book: اقتصادنا . The researcher chooses few terms, because they are too numerous to mention. Moreover, they are investigated in certain Suras, related to their reflecting to economic Creed of Islam. The Quranic economic terms are explained in Arabic glossaries and exegeses. Afterward, their connection to economic creed of Islam is mentioned as al-Sadir has explained in his book. Each term’s rendering, then, is put into a table identifying the name of the Sura, number of the aaya, and the translator. A sub-section is dedicated to the aaya (verse) or part of the aaya wherein the economic term is mentioned in the Holy Quran; through that the reader can distinguish the context where the term is placed. The last sub-section of each Quranic economic term is the assessment of its translation, and identifying the best one. Last but not least, conclusions are drawn out from all the simple study. The two important ones are the following. The two Muslim translators depend mainly on the context of the aaya in their translations of the economic terms. Moreover, they have not encompassed the meanings of those terms since economic Creed of Islam is a new social study. | ||
