In Islam, money is likened to blood in the body-it must keep flowing to keep the economic system healthy. If money just sits around without being used or distributed properly, it will cause problems, such as social inequality, economic stagnation, and wealth inequality.

This is why the concepts of zakat, sadaqah, halal investment and fair trade are highly emphasized in Islam. Good money circulation will bring benefits to the wider community, drive the economy, and avoid the accumulation of useless assets.

In Islamic economics, this principle is also the basis for the prohibition of usury and the recommendation to invest wealth in productive and halal businesses. That way, the economy is not only oriented towards individual profits, but also blessings and mutual prosperity.
