The relationship dimensions of assumptions of unlimited human wants in islamic economics: the horizontal dimensions

Abstract

In Islamic economics, the assumption of unlimited human wants is explored through the dual dimensions of human relationships: vertical with Allah SWT and horizontal with oneself, others, and the environment. These dimensions highlight how faith influences the balance between satisfying basic needs and managing desires. This paper delves into the interplay between faith and consumption, emphasizing the ethical implications of human wants in an Islamic context.
