Abstract
Neoliberal global capitalism constantly fails individuals. It has granted prosperity for a few people in society whereas the majority has been deprived of their rights in living with dignity. And the real victims are vulnerable minorities. During each economic crisis, the curtain lifted above the calamities caused by this greedy system. People dramatically lose their jobs, their houses, and their dignity. No one cares about their miseries except religious persons and institutions who offer them shelter and food. Religion is not limited to spirituality and worship. Religion is a lifestyle. Religion should be adopted in every corner in life: spirituality, daily social life, culture, economics and politics. This paper attempts to represent the religion of Islam as an alternative to neoliberal global capitalism. Islam offers applicable solution to all social problems caused by neoliberal global capitalism.
