Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine some of the concerns of Jewish and Muslim writers
on moral issues in economics, and to compare these with the position of Christian
writers. These Jewish and Muslim writers wish to see religious law respected in
economic life, notably when conducting transactions or when being involved in the
finance of transactions. They believe economic agents should be concerned with the
morality of their actions, religious laws being the appropriate source for guidance in
economic behaviour. The emphasis is on economic justice so that all parties are
protected and the social equilibrium amongst the faithful is maintained.
