- Açıklama: presented at the Second International Conference on Development, Finance and Distribution in Islamic Perspective. Fulfillment of the basic human needs forms an essential part of the Islamic vision of a society. The principle is based on the texts of the Quran and the Sunnah, Caliphal precedents and juristic consensus. Food, clothing, shelter, medical care and education are some of the needs that must be fulfilled. However, the level and the standard of need fulfillment is always subject to resource constraints and average level of living in a society. The responsibility to fulfill needs rests with the individual himself, his near relatives, the neighbourhood and the society in general. Since it is a fard kifayah, the ultimate responsibility of fulfilling needs devolves on the state. The author advocates that the constitution of an Islamic state must guarantee need fulfillment. Need fulfillment calls for a comprehensive programme in the con- temporary situation. Direct transfer of income to the poor, public provision of consumer goods and services and intervention in the commodity and factors market may be necessary for this purpose. Manpower planning and development coupled with a more equitable distribution of income and wealth may be necessary in the long run. In this regard the private sector has an important role to play too. Resource for funding need fulfillment programmes may come out of Zakah revenue, other state revenue and taxes levied specially 69 for this purpose. Less developed countries will need grants and interest- free credit from rich countries to implement these programmes. Inter- Islamic and international cooperation is needed to help poor countries in ensuring need fulfillment. The crucial first step is a general awareness of the spiritual and moral significance of the principle of guaranteed need fulfillment.
