Abstract:

The order of the world has been constructed on acquisition. Supreme Creator has resolved acquisition a reason for creatures to work and earn in order continuity and order of the world. Negligence and abandonment of this reality has been banned to the people because it ruins the order of the world. The reality which was stated by Imam Muhammed as “there is a system of the world in acquisition” has importance since we comprehend the importance of the matter. Islamic disciplines have approached this matter with the aspects about which their fields concern. The difference in the statements of the disciplines of Kalam, Islamic Law and Islamic Mysticism about acquisition is a usual matter because these disciplines have different interests as belief, practice and morals. The discipline of Kalam discusses acquisition in terms of belief, Islamic Law discusses it in terms of practice and Islamic Mysticism deals with it in terms of morality. Accordingly, approaching of the notion of the acquisition as a topic in Quran has become essential, so the matter of this articles have become this topic.  In Quran, the meaning of effort is “sa’y” and the meaning of action is “amel”.  In the discipline of economy from aforesaid notions, the meaning of sa’y is effort and the meaning of amel is work. In this case it is named as acquisition or acquirement if it comes up after work and effort or it is remained gain. Acquisition that is a piece of one’s life reserves an important place in Quran. The notion that is mentioned in plenty of verses in Quran because it has close link with material and nonmaterial acquisitions has two sides as material and nonmaterial in respect of its content. Quran considers those who built the society by way of acquisition big responsibilities. For as much as the thing that is asked from man is obtaining the acquisition by way of lawful and legitimate means and purifying regularly in terms of spiritual aspect after acquiring. If charity which is a way of purifying is not conducted even the acquisition is from lawful ways, it confers more responsibility to its owner. The most beautiful example of this is zakat because the acquisition that is not given zakat on it makes its owner or itself problematical or faulty. To perform responsibility of acquisition it must be good, beautiful, and being from earnings that were gotten by way of lawful means. Quran removes the material acquisition that takes place in people’s beliefs and minds from being divine value and instead of this, it considers this as a divine value for attaining faith and good deed by way of it. The results that Allah consents in terms of validity in general includes all details that take people to happiness of the world and afterlife and withhold them from all prohibition that give harm to them. The word of “beneficence” that we all use in daily life means all suitable acquisitions. We see this notion in some verses by means of it is used with some words like “seyyiat”, “ism” and “hatie” which means negative things, and this means that it underlines some results or acquisitions that Allah does not consent. The acquisition that comes true in worldly life has some results naturally with respect to its characteristic feature. If the actions and acquisitions are positive, the results become positive. Similarly, if the actions and acquisitions are negative, the results also become negative. The most important result of the acquisition that generates in positive way is to activate mechanism of punishment and reward and to awake awareness of responsibility in people. The notion also gives meaning to what people have earned in this life by means of emphasizing to fairness of Allah, and it saves him from despair, and preventing him from inclining to error. The acquisition also has led up to stability and liveliness of belief in hereafter, and with gathering people with respect to their occupation, it has directed them to corporate movement. The acquisitions that have taken place can result in several negative situations in societies and people. These results are stated as “fesad”, “istizlal”, “irkas”, “ibsal” and “ibak”. Quran also refers existence of a relation between acquisition and some nature events and emphasizes that some negative acquisitions can lead to some nature events which process to the detriment of people. These situations have been emphasized inherently in several verses, and it has been stated in dialogues of some prophets like Noah and Hud clearly.
