which encompasses everything, is that He
did not leave the poor and the needy to be exhausted by the necessities of life.
Rather, He made social solidarity one of the pillars of Islam, without which its
structure cannot be built, and with it the status of servitude is complete, so the
poor person can be patient and satisfied, knowing that his Creator did not leave
him lost. Obedient people, from the rich and the powerful, compete to help the
poor and needy with the costs of life, in compliance with the command of Allah
(Almighty) and obedience to Him. Thus the structure of society is stabilized, and
justice prevails in it, through general manifestations of solidarity.
In this study, we attempt to reveal how Islam dealt with the phenomenon of
poverty, through social solidarity. The meaning of solidarity, the wisdom of its
legislation, its types and legal rulings, and the framework for its implementation
were identified in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, so an integrated system can actually
confront the phenomenon of poverty by uprooting its roots, or reducing it on the
social level to the minimum limits.
