Values and wellbeing in Quranic

Perspective  :  Some theoretical insights from Divine economics

Dr. Syed Nisar Hussain Hamdani

This study is an attempt to relate values and wellbeing in perspective of the holy Qurán. The individual wellbeing is re-lated to multi-dimensions such as body and soul, and domains such as his self, family, community, nation and faith. Humans possess a set of desires about all or most of these domains which define their life satisfaction.

According to conventional economics, humans get satisfaction from materialistic goods & services which may be observable and available on certain price. However, the Qurán says that, "Those who believe, & whose hearts find satisfac- tion in the remembrance of Allah for without doubt in the re- membrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction" [13:28].

Considering the Quranic view, Divine economics proposes that humans derive life satisfaction from a variety of goods, services and activities concerned with such dimensions and domains which are partly materialistic and partly spiritual. Hence, their economic behaviors are governed by their mate- rial as well as spiritual values relating to all of these dimen-sions & domains. These values are shaped by different factors including the faith in a religious society like Pakistan.

The paper provides theoretical relationships of religious, spiritual and moral values with wellbeing by deriving insights from the holy Qurán. It paves the way for future researchers in economics, sociology and other disciplines, who are inter-ested in studying human health, social success and wellbeing by maintaining a lifestyle aligned with Qur’anic lifestyle.
