Abstract
This paper will discuss the importance of wealth as proposed by Sayyid in his masterpiece work, Fi Zilal al-Quran. The
discussion will therefore revolve around the wealth conception, way of spending and ownership concept. Qutb’s Islamic
treatment of the subject of human economic affairs derives from the belief that Islam is a comprehensive system covering all
aspects of human society. Using content analysis approach based on Qutb’s work, Fi Zilal al-Quran, the study found that
Qutb’s idea in many ways, was influenced by Maududi’s thought on the subject. Qutb’s ideas tended to propagate the belief
that whatever an individual Muslim possesses is not, in fact, his alone. Instead, all that he has is by way of trust, a ‘trust’
vouchsafed by God and all that is spent must be in accordance with His command and within the limits prescribed by Him..
