Abstract

Civil rights are among the new-emerging and specific rights of contemporary times. So they require their own mechanisms. Economic justice is the main content of civil rights and the basis for limiting the power of sovereignty. Authoritarian governments prioritize the establishment of order, while democratic governments prioritize economic justice. According to the Holy Quran, citizens have rights in economic affairs that the government is obliged to respect. These rights are very diverse; one of the duties of governments is to support production and to provide opportunities for production. Citizens have rights in the field of production, which provide solutions for their economic justice. Some solutions are common, such as public cooperation, fair legislation, and a fair executive system; and some solutions are specific; one of the most important specific solutions is work and employment, meritocracy, prevention of monopoly in production, correction of prices and wages and prevention of illicit income. This article seeks to examine the solutions of civil rights of production in the Quran
