The Qur’an does not only regards trade as mundane activity but
also promises rewards similar to prayers and worships. From this point of
view, we can state that the Qur’an uses a language of trade (win-loss) about after death subjects. Everyone’s good or bad acts are written in their own
account book. To be faithful is most profitable capital, to accept the aim of
the prophet is the largest after death investment, to sell goods and lives to
Allah is like a covenant with the Lord. After death scales is similar to shopping scale in world, the doomsday is similar to the account to be paid for
the purchase, deed book is similar to account book, account that cannot be
paid are similar to bankrupt and the Qur’an uses a language of trade in all. In
this context, the Qur’an uses words bay’ and ishtirā as trade, shopping. Ajr/saman means a gain on a finished purchase; ribh means profit; dayn means
unpaid debt after shopping; khasar and khusrān means loss of trade; rahn
means to guarantee the purchase of the goods, the debt held in return; hasāb
means amount to be paid after trade; ribā means excess/interest which is
not available for any purchase.
