"When man establishes the representation of God on earth in all respects, by
dedicating himself to the service of God and freeing himself from servitude to
others, by establishing the system of life prescribed by God and rejecting all
other systems, by arranging his life according to the Shari'ah of God and
giving up all other laws, by adopting the values and standards of morality
which are pleasing to God and rejecting all other standards and, after this,
when he investigates the laws governing the universe and uses them for the
benefit of all mankind, applies them to resources hidden in the earth in
accordance with the obligation imposed on him by God as His vicegerent on
earth, unearths the treasures and resources of food and raw materials for
industries, and uses his technical and professional knowledge for the
development of various kinds of industries, doing all these things as a
God-fearing person and as a representative of God; and when his attitude toward
the material and moral aspects of life is infused with this spirit, only then
does man become completely civilized and the society reach the height of
civilization."
