  1. Devine Economic Plan Malik 2 Wealth is a test Anam 165/Nahal 71 Not related to efforts Zumr 49 وَاللّهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْرِّزْقِ And Allah has made some of you excel others in wealth. (Nahal 71) وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلاَئِفَ الأَرْضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَاتٍ لِّيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي مَا آتَاكُمْ And Allah has made you successors in the land and raised some of you above others in different levels, to test you for what is given to you. (Araf 165) فَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَانَ ضُرٌّ دَعَانَا ثُمَّ إِذَا خَوَّلْنَاهُ نِعْمَةً مِّنَّا قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِيتُهُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ بَلْ هِيَ فِتْنَةٌ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ When a man gets in trouble he cries for help of Allah, and when he is granted favors, he says “I have got it due to my knowledge”. In fact wealth is a trial but most of people do not know. (Zumr 49)

  5. Islam prohibits and strongly CONDEMNS usury or RIBA. • Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will increase benefits of charity" (Baqra 276); • If you do not stop taking usury, then be ready for a war with Allâh and His Messenger (Baqra 279) • Abdullah ibn Hanjalah related that the Prophet said: A dirham of Riba (interest) knowingly taken by a man is a sin worse than committing Zina (fornication) 36 times (Ahmad, Daraqutni). • Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: Allah's Messenger cursed the accepter of interest and its payer, and one who records it, and the two witnesses; and he said: They are all equal (Muslim). • Hazrat Abu Hurairah r.a. reported that the Prophet said : A time will certainly come when none will remain who will not devour usury. If he does not devour it, its vapors will fall on him [Ahmed,Abu Dawood,Nisai,Ibn Majah]

  10. Trade* Risk capital investment at profit/loss + Work + Public benefit *Limited liability is an exclusion Interest based Loan taken/given at interest with security against fully insured property (margin financing) Public Benefits Does the activity lead to employment/resource generation or brings harm to the public interest Gambling Profit/loss without efforts at the expense of someone else Property business (Plots) As per Islamic law house is right of every Muslim. Anyone trying to grab the property for the purpose of trade/profit making is haram because it is a gamble (profit/loss at the expense of others) and it is also not a business/trade as it does not lead to any fruitful business activity which entails hardwork. As a consequence of profit making price of the property rise and takes it out of the reach of legitimate buyer for building his house

  11. (http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/usury.htm) Does Islam allow any Banking System? • Banks were created for taking public deposit and lending at interest and investment in treasury bonds, derivatives, securities etc. • Interest is against natural laws. Proper functioning of natural laws and economy implies a zero rate of interest • Islam detests borrowing even at zero interest rate. • Banking was conceived in iniquity (against natural law) and was born in sin (for the benefit of rich). • An interest rate of zero means the end of the money & banking system. And I sincerely believe with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale Thomas Jefferson in a letter to John Taylor 28 May 1816, Writings (1984) New York: Literary Classics of the United State

  12. Moral (Height of spiritual living) • Hallal means of living • Distribution of entire excess wealth • Hardy any situation of Zakat • Simple lifestyle Legal (Minimum threshold of living) • Hallal means of living • Pays Zakat and other compulsory dues • Charity (infaq) up to the level of Taqwa • Modest lifestyle Illegal (State of practical kufr) • No distinction of hallal/harram • Does not care to pays Zakat/other dues • Charity for image building • Extravagant and luxurious lifestyle • Stinginess/wealth piling up Three economic modes of Muslims

  14. Summary of natural economic System of Islam • Islamic view is that “real economy” controls, and the money is only a “supportive function”. Protects labour/work. • Stop earning money through money and compels people to work and invest money in business ventures • Eliminates sources of unearned income (interest/speculation) • No protection to capital and uses wealth in real economic activities integrated with physical laws of nature. • Collect zakat (wealth tax) no tax on income or consumption. • It is responsibility of individuals for meeting needs of poor and social welfare of society • State is responsible for meeting basic needs of citizens and taking administration/legal measure for checking concentration of wealth in few hands. • Business in Islam is not an grabbing the opportunity but a “Ibadah” covered under the ethos of Islamic principles of life.
