试论伊斯兰经济系统的人文驱动力

On the Humanistic Driving Power of the Islamic Economy

伊斯兰经济系统的人文驱动力主要由宗教信仰和伦理精神构成,其运行目标是信仰、伦理与经济行为的内外一致性。伊斯兰认为,经济活动是人类生存和发展所必需的,但经济活动带来的物质利益的满足并不能完全体现人的价值,人除了现世的物质需求之外,还须有超越现世的精神需求,而且只有确立信仰和由信仰支撑的伦理规范在人们经济生活中的主导地位,才能使人们在追求自身的物质利益时不至于遗失崇高的道德情怀。这一价值取向赋予了从事经济活动的主体以意义,这种意义的内核即是信仰与务实的融合。

The humanistic driving power of the Islamic economy is mainly composed of religious faith and ethi- cal spirit. Its target for operation is to achieve an internal and external consistency, i.e. the dialectical unity be- tween religious faith, ethic codes and economic behaviors. Islam holds the opinion that although the economic activ- ities are indispensable for human existence and development, the satisfied material inertest brought by them can not entirely justify the genuine value of man because man needs to fulfill something that transcends the secular material concerns. In addition to this, Islam contends that only when we have established the faith and the faith-based ethic codes as the guidance in our economic life can we adhere to the noble moral objectives while in seek of self-interest.
