Follow IMF or Islam?

 

[SaadH]

Zakat is voluntarily action which actually not that high,

Tax is not un-Islamic, it is way to help the country, similar like the way we have to raise our swords/rifle when we face a war. See economy as some kind of war as well, as if your economy is in bad shape, your chance to win any war if some country attack you will be smaller

If God ask us to fight the invader that can cost us live, so why tax is forbidden and un- Islamic ??????

In an Islamic system Zakat is not voluntary. It is owed to the authorities just as tax is owed to your respective gov'ts and any gov't worth their salt will wage war on it's own citizens to get the tax owed to them.

Abu Bakr RA even went to war with tribes who rebelled just on this point...he told them I will extract Zakat even at the point of the sword.
