Ethics of Social Responsibility in the Qur'an and the Torah

Jacqueline Pearce

Excerpt: "Both the Qur'an and the Hebrew Bible place great emphasis on the role of social duty and obligation toward others. These duties and obligations are often presented, not as suggestions, but as divine law or divine command; a defining characteristic of both these traditions, and one that links them in similarity. These duties range from economic prohibitions or requirements, such as charity, fairness in business dealings and resource allocation, to the general tenets of social justice and responsibility to others."
