Debt Contract & Accounting in al-Quran:
Al-Baqarah, 282: “O you who believe! When you deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing, let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties: let not the scribe refuse to write: as God has taught him, so let him write. Let him who incurs the liability (debtor) dictate, but let him fear his Lord God, and not diminish aught of what he owes. If the party liable (debtor) is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable himself to dictate, let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if they are not two men, then a man and two women, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind him, The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (for evidence). Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big: it is more just in the sight of God, more suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves. But if you carry out the transactions on the spot there is no blame if you reduce it not to writing. But take witness whenever you make a commercial contract, and let neither the scribe nor witness suffer harm. If you do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you. So fear God; for it is God that teaches you. And God is well acquainted with all things.”
