Summary/Abstract: The article discusses some fundamental teachings presenting the stand of Islam regarding the prescribed and lawful acquisition of property (means), as well as its distribution for charitable cause. Substantial and inseparable link between Islamic rituals and social, humanitarian activity of the faithful represents an axiom of a religious consciousness and practise. A sustainable economic balance between extreme poverty and excessive wealth in Islam is established through consistent abiding by metaphysical principles and religious duties that are always aiming at social justice, helping poor, orphans and other socially disadvantaged categories
