The Islamic conception of social exclusion complements the Catholic perspective found in other contributions to this issue. The Islamic prohibitions of social exclusion are derived from theological principles that combine to provide a metaphysical basis for the golden rule that one should treat others as one wishes to be treated. This article examines the roots of a practical morality that enjoins us to treat other people as equals and prohibits exploitation of them in economic exchange. This philosophy is based on four principles found in the Qur'an and the hadith (teachings of the Prophet): vicegerency, commensurability, responsibility, and prophecy. These four principles combine to show how humans, as God's agents on earth, have the means to carry out the divine will. The practice of justice in Islamic thought does not rely on social conventions that are variable and contingent but on absolute principles revealed to us by the Prophet. That gives Islam an advantage over secular thought in establishing a strong foundation for social and ethical principles that give egalitarianism a transcendent basis. Thus, social inclusivity in Islamic thought is an integral part of a life governed by piety and prophecy.

人为的高尚与黄金法则：伊斯兰反对排斥的案例

伊斯兰对社会排斥的概念补充了对这一问题的其他贡献中发现的天主教观点。伊斯兰教对社会排斥的禁止来自于神学原理，这些神学原理相结合，为黄金法则提供了形而上的基础，该黄金法则是，一个人应将他人视为希望被对待的人。本文探讨了实践道德的根源，这种道德要求我们将平等对待他人并禁止在经济交流中剥削他人。该哲学基于《古兰经》和《圣训》中的四个原则（先知的教导）：王权，可比性，责任和预言。这四个原则相结合，显示出人类作为上帝在世上的代理人，是如何具有执行神圣旨意的手段的。伊斯兰思想中的正义实践不依赖于多变和偶然的社会习俗，而是依靠先知向我们揭示的绝对原则。这为伊斯兰奠定了优于世俗思想的优势，它为社会和道德原则奠定了坚实的基础，从而为平等主义提供了超越的基础。因此，伊斯兰思想中的社会包容性是受虔诚和预言支配的生活的组成部分。
