Abstract

UDK 28-46

In this essay the author deals with early revelations of the Qur’an in Mecca, wherein the existence of God is clearly announced, but also the existence of the poor, the weak, the fragile, the slave, the orphans etc., is brought to the notice. The essay points out the reasons for placing the social justice and its promotion primarily into the sphere of individual human conscience and moral awareness. The essay also discusses the categories of the poor that are mentioned in the Qur’an, as well as the Qur’anic viewpoint of the oppressor, the rich, the usurer etc. the author stresses that the institution of zakat is primarily of social nature. Although it is undoubtedly provided by the Qur’an as an obligation, zakat, however has significant reference to moral and social awareness of an individual towards deprived and vulnerable categories of a society.
