According to the publisher’s note, this booklet was issued for individuals who may not have the opportunity to study lengthy volumes. Its purpose is to present the essential principles of Islam’s economic system in a clear and accessible format. The text explains why interest is strictly prohibited in Islamic law and how this prohibition relates to justice, social balance, and economic ethics.
Maududi discusses the moral and economic implications of interest-based systems and contrasts them with the Islamic model of financial dealings. While this booklet outlines the core arguments, readers seeking a more detailed analysis are encouraged to consult the author’s full book, which examines the subject in depth and elaborates on the broader framework of Islamic economics.
