Religious capital

Individuals possess religious capital, through a system of religious, social, and economic values and ethics, and through organizing the relationship of the servant with his Lord in worship and transactions that lead him to transcend his self, and to find noble meanings for values, things, and life around him. The origin is that the Muslim should invest well in his religious knowledge and develop it in proper ways, and the religious capital may deviate from its legitimate channels due to utilitarian use of religion, for political, social, and economic goals.
