Verses 151–153 of Surah al-An‘ām, as foundational commandments and muḥkamāt (definitive verses) of the Qur’an, provide significant economic guidance. However, despite the attention given to these verses by exegetes and scholars of fiqh al-Qur’an (jurisprudence derived from the Qur’an), a systematic analysis of their economic implications – particularly in establishing the foundations of a justice-oriented economic system – remains underexplored. This study aims to extract and elucidate the economic principles embedded in these verses, with a focus on poverty alleviation, management of orphans’ wealth, and justice in transactions. It seeks to answer the central question: What principles and practical solutions do these verses offer for establishing a just economic system aligned with the "Straight Path" (al-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm)? Employing an interpretive-analytical approach and qualitative content analysis of classical tafsīr literature and works on fiqh al-Qur’an, the findings indicate that these verses, while prohibiting the killing of children out of fear of poverty (imlāq) and emphasizing Allah’s role as the ultimate Provider (al-Razzāq), also stress the necessity of safeguarding and nurturing orphans’ property "in the best possible way" until they reach maturity and sound judgment. Furthermore, the verses emphasize the obligation to maintain full and equitable measure and weight (bi’l-qisṭ) in commercial exchanges. Justice in speech – even when dealing with close relatives (walaw kāna dhā qurbā) – and the fulfillment of covenants, including economic contracts, are identified as essential pillars for trust and integrity in economic relations. An analysis of verse 153 reveals that these guidelines are integral components of the "Straight Path", and adherence to them is presented as the pathway to taqwā (piety) and the foundational basis for a just and ethical economic order.
