The way of doing business is part of man's interaction with creation. In the context of the ecological crisis, the focus is not only increasingly on the economic order, but also on economic practice in the holy scriptures of all three monotheistic religions. In principle, believers are not detached from their religion in their economic actions and must act out of a sense of responsibility before God. Responsible action is characterised by an orientation towards the common good, even though many ideas of social justice have only become concrete in modern times. In this context, the prohibition of interest on money is certainly of interest, which is known both in Islam and was demanded, for example, by Martin Luther and Jewish religious scholars. This brings us to the questions that are of interest with regard to the ecological actions of believers, such as: What about the legitimacy of property? How is the pursuit of profit maximisation compatible with social obligation? Or: What are the connections between the principles of a social market economy and an Islamic economic order?
