Poverty is a problem for every country in the world, specifically the poverty rate is very high. Many countries are trying to reduce the poverty. Economic justice plays a significant role in establishing a healthy and peaceful society. To develop such a system, Islam has set specific standards based on justice. This paper aims to highlight the modes and techniques through which the poverty rate can be reduced in light of the teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The paper has focused on the economic teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) at different levels i.e., individual, society and government. The article has also highlighted the business models which can be started at micro level. The paper concluded that steps may be taken at both individual and government level to reduce the poverty rate in Muslim countries. This paper recommended that the Muslim Ummah should follow the teaching of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to economic growth and equitable distribution of wealth.
