4. Social Justice and Economic Regulations

The political and economic dimensions of Shia teachings are profoundly influenced by the Quran’s emphasis on justice and equity. Verses like Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:8) advocate for standing firm in justice, even against oneself. This principle extends to economic interactions, with injunctions against usury (riba) in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:275). The Shia legal system espouses fair trade practices, the redistribution of wealth through khums (a form of almsgiving), and the ethical implications of social responsibility.
