The Qur’an provides guidance not only concerning the relationship between human beings and God but also regarding social and economic life. One of the economic issues addressed by the Qur’an is the distribution of wealth. Inequality in wealth ownership may create various social problems when it is not properly managed. This study aims to analyze the concept of wealth distribution in the Qur’an through QS. al-Baqarah [2]: 261 and QS. al-Hashr [59]: 7 and to examine its relationship with zakat and infaq. This research employs a qualitative method using a thematic interpretation approach and library research. The sources consist of the Qur’an, classical and contemporary Qur’anic commentaries, Islamic economics books, and academic journal articles concerning zakat, infaq, and wealth distribution. The study finds that QS. al-Baqarah [2]: 261 encourages believers to spend their wealth through infaq, while QS. al-Hashr [59]: 7 establishes the principle that wealth should not circulate only among a particular group. These verses demonstrate a Qur’anic principle of wealth distribution that regards wealth as a means of achieving social welfare. In Islamic economics, zakat and infaq have important roles in fulfilling social needs and strengthening solidarity. This concept can be understood as one dimension of the economic inimitability of the Qur’an because it presents economic principles that are not merely concerned with ownership but also with the distribution of benefits and social welfare.
