By pondering over the verses of QURÄN we come to know that one of the Islamic goals is to nullify and frustrate the unjust class distinction of poor and rich. It helps to bring up the life level of those who cannot do it without the help of others. To reach such a sacred goal, Islam has devised a vast plan and programme, such as absolute prohibition of usury, paying religious taxes like the tithe and the one fifth, alms and charity, dedication and lending for goodness, and other helps and supports incumbent upon the believers, all of which may serve to strengthen the spirit of brotherhood among Muslims.
