L’islam et la corruption قال تع��الى: )وال ت��أكلوا أم��والكم بينكم بالباط��ل
وت�دلوا به�ا إلى الحك�ام لت�أكلوا فريق�ا من أم�وال ثم �وأنتم تعلمون( [188 ]ا�لبقرة:ال�ناس باإل�
[188] Ne vous dépouillez pas injustement les uns les autres de vos biens ! Ne les offrez pas non plus aux juges dans l’espoir de vous accaparer illégalement et en toute connaissance de cause d’une partie des biens appartenant à autrui !
[188] Und fresset nicht untereinander euren Reichtum auf durch Falsches, und bietet ihn nicht der Obrigkeit (als Bestechung) an, daß ihr wissentlich einen Teil des Reichtums anderer zu Unrecht fressen möchtet.
