In this short snippet from our Deeper Look Series: Surah Al-Muzzammil, Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan unpacks how the Quran challenges systems of inherited wealth and unchecked economic power. Referencing Surah Al-Mutaffifin (83), he explains how Islamic inheritance law is designed to prevent the rise of generational elites.
A multi-millionaire dies and the wealth doesn’t consolidate, it fragments. Each child inherits a portion, which then splits again in the next generation. Unlike systems where power and capital remain in the hands of a few, the Quran sets up a structure that keeps wealth circulating.
Ustadh Nouman draws a sharp contrast between the Islamic model and modern societies where the same powerful families keep wealth locked in, avoid taxes and rise above legal systems. The Quran speaks directly to this imbalance, calling out economic corruption and warning those who cheat others financially.
