The Economic Dimensions in the Message of the Prophets (PBUH): An Integrated Analytical Study of Da'wah and Wealth

This study delves into the economic dimensions inherent in the Prophets' (PBUH) messages, employing an integrative analysis that highlights the profound interplay between spiritual values (Da'wah) and wealth management within the divine revelations. Crucially, the research addresses a significant gap in the literature. Most prior studies have focused on fragmented topics—such as Zakat, market dynamics, or economic ethics—failing to offer a comprehensive framework that unites the evangelical and economic aspects into a single, cohesive analysis.
Therefore, the core objective is to construct a model that elucidates the economic foundations underpinning the prophetic discourse and explores how these prophetic experiences can be leveraged to address contemporary economic challenges. The research utilizes an analytical-comparative methodology, relying on the analysis of selected texts from the Holy Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah. This involved employing multiple techniques: thematic textual analysis, induction and deduction, Maqasid (higher objectives) analysis, and a comparative synthetic framework.
