اَب کَہاں میرا،آنا جانا ہے
میرا گھر ہی مرا ٹھکانہ ہے
تیر پھینکا تو دو قدم تھا شکار
کیا شکاری ہے کیا نشانہ ہے
کوئ پہچانتا نہیں اب بھی
روز اُس گھر میں آنا جانا ہے
میں زَمانے کے ساتھ، چَل نہ سَکا
پیچھے، پیچھے، مرے، زمانہ ہے
اُس سے بے نام سا تعلق ایک
اَب یہی زیست کا بہانہ ہے
حاصل زیست کچھ نہیں اعجاز
بس یونہی عمر کا گنوانا ہے
Money and its Compensation: An Analysis with Respect to Capitalism and Islamic Economic System In trade and commerce, money has remained the backbone of the business and trade. From the beginning to the end, money is an indispensable part of every economic activity. For this importance, money is treated as a factor of production. But the question is what is meant by money and whether the value of money can be recognized as a land, house, shop, car, bungalow and merchandise goods? And then what is the status if it is in the form of interest and it is linked to inflation? The research article underlines the key aspect regarding money and its compensation in the perspective of capitalistic and Islamic economic system. The qualitative and analytical approach was applied in this article. A literature review concluded that time value of money in capitalistic economy is unlimited while the Islamic economic system does not recognize its value in form of interest and with the association of inflation rate. It is recommended that business to be done on a profit and loss basis, rather than on debt and interest and instead of linking money to the inflation rate, alternatives should be proposed, for example if a person wants to take the loan, he should be given what he needs on cost plus profit basis.
