  30. Fundamental Objectives in Islamic economics are: 1.Social Justice • One will not abuse the powerand wealth given to him for the justice of the society; since we are only thekhalifah of Allahgranted and being trusted to the use of ownership of the bounties given by Allah. Surah Taaha; 20:6,“He’s the one who own the bounties whatever on this earth and in the outerspace (sky) or in between or down beneath the wet earth,” for the welfare and justice of the society. and to perform his duties to pay the zakat as a voluntary duty for social justice.
