Money is considered as a deposit from Allah SWT and humans have the responsibility to use money wisely and responsibly. The purpose of this research is to reveal the Islamic view of money in an economic and social approach. The methodology used is qualitative with a type of literature approach.

Humans are responsible for using money wisely, and responsibly, and paying attention to social and human interests. In this way, money can become a tool that brings blessings to people and society.
