How Can One Who Truly Cares for the Hukm of Allah (swt)

[Major d1]

#Pakistan #PakArmy: How Can One Who Truly Cares for the Hukm of Allah (swt) and Seerah of RasulAllah (saaw) Fight the Call for the #Khilafah?

In his Defence Day address, General Raheel Sharif on 6 September said,

ہمارے ہر قدم اللہ کے حکم اور نبی اکرم صلى الله عليه و سلم كے سیرت کے مطابق اٹے

In the battle for our survival, we will take every step according to the Hukm of Allah and the Seerah of the Noble Prophet (saaw)."

He also stated "There are elements which are trying to create misunderstandings" and "It is also necessary for the elimination of terror to strengthen our laws" (http://www.dawn.com/…/defence-of-pakistan-is-invincible-***…). General Raheel Sharif's address is his attempt to defend the regime's National Action Plan (NAP) which has been seen as a US plan to suppress Islam. This is why he was careful to assure the people that his every step is according to Islam. At the same time he condemned those who account him as creating misunderstandings, even though the truly strong ruler is never threatened by advice, but benefits it. He then called for further strengthening of draconian laws under cover of the NAP, such as the now expired but up for renewal Protection of Pakistan Act (PoPA) through which he has overseen the arrest of thousands of Islam loving ulema, callers to Islam and politicians, including the advocates of the Khilafah.

The Raheel-Nawaz regime implements the National Action Plan, even though it is built on lies. Certainly, our Islam is not behind the killing of civilians, for Islam staunchly protects the civilian non-combatants from the scourge of war. Even during wars when meeting the enemy, the Messenger of Allah (saw) used to advise the Islamic Army,

«وَلا تَقْتُلُوا امْرَأَةً، وَلا وَلِيدًا، وَلا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا»

“Do not kill a woman, or an infant, or an old man.” As for the Khulafa'a Rashidoon, Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, advised his army commander,

وَإِنَّكُمْ سَتَجِدُونَ أَقْوَامًا قَدْ حَبَسُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الصَّوَامِعِ فَاتْرُكُوهُمْ وَمَا حَبَسُوا لَهُ أَنْفُسَهُمْ... وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا كَبِيرًا هَرِمًا، وَلَا امْرَأَةً، وَلَا وَلِيدًا، وَلَا تُخْرِبُوا عُمْرَانًا

“You will find people who locked themselves up in temples, spare them and leave them for what they locked themselves up for… and do not kill the old, nor a woman, nor an infant, and do not destroy buildings.”

And Omar, may Allah be pleased with him, advised his army commander,

لَا تَغُلُّوا، وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا، وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا، وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا امْرَأَةً، وَلَا صَبِيًّا، وَلَا شَيْخًا

“Do not transgress, do not betray, do not mutilate, and do not kill a woman, or a child, or an elderly.” Moreover, such mercy on the battlefield is not found in the United States, the master of the Raheel-Nawaz regime, which accuses us in our Deen, for the US has always committed crimes against humanity, from which even the wild animals in the jungle would shy from.

Yet, using the National Action Plan, the regime';s thugs have been unleashed upon the sincere and aware Muslims, defaming, harassing and arresting Ulema, Islamic activists and other callers to Islam. The regime has threatened journalists to curb Islamic expression in the media and even intimidated the judiciary to stop it providing relief for Islamic politicians. And the regime has reserved some of its harshest brutality for the shebaab of Hizb ut Tahrir, advocates for the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood. The thugs of the regime violate the homes of the shebaab, not caring for the sanctity of their womenfolk, and waving weapons before the terrified children. They seize the shebaab and even their relatives, including the wife with the physically handicapped child. They severely torture the shebaab depriving them of sleep, beating them with bars and even subjecting them to electrical shocks. They throw the shebaab into dungeons, without trial or relief, including the doctor, the engineer, the teacher, the heart patient and the one with diseased, bleeding bowels. The crimes against the Hizb have become so numerous that they have become public knowledge and have now even spilled into the media.

 

[Mutakalim]

The absolute question is.
Who has the right to chose the Caliph? These fanatics should describe the method by which they are planning to establish the Caliphate. If by Caliphate you mean dictatorships of Banu Ummaiyah and Banu Abbas, which are formed by sword and bribery, then may God protect us all from that Khilafah.
By the way, this organization is banned in Pakistan. Mods should take action.

[Major d1]

Re-establishment of khilafah is prophethood. It will come. Perfect person will be khalifh. who have capability to run a state. we want khilafah-e-rasida. i am giving u a picture- how khalifh will appoint- u will get that.

 

[Signalian]

While qualifying for a technical course in Signals College, there was a captain in the course who used to talk all the time about Khilafat, Ummah etc. He had a small beard and had very strict views about Islam which he didnt mind sharing. Sometimes he would tell me to keep my pants above ankles, tell me to keep a beard as its prohibited to shave on face etc. He would quote every sentence of his followed by an ayat and hadith.
After a few weeks, he went missing. No one knew where.
He came back a week later but he got very quiet and wouldnt speak much. It was later revealed that he was under watch for his views and words by an intelligence unit and was taken away by them when he got too vocal about his views of a khilafat movement. He joined the course for a few days and was then sent back to his unit.

I wonder how he managed to keep his views to himself in PMA or even ISSB for that matter. ....But then again people can be very evasive until they expose things themselves. BTW one of my brothers is from signals 88 L/C.

just guessing, your bro course could be TE 38 or TE 39 for engineering.

 

[Djinn]

just guessing, your bro course could be TE 38 or TE 39 for engineering.

Back then they used to join signals after PMA. Now they join after completing course work at EME or NUST. I am not sure if i have ever heard him mention TE courses.

Army has no issue with establishment of Caliphate. Many in Army are followers of scholars like Dr Israr. The problem with Hizbul Tahrir is the way they want to achieve this goal. Their method includes getting lot of soldiers on their side and than creating mutiny in Army getting leadership of Army arrested or even worse and than take on Government. This idea is stupid as hell and will not bring Caliphate but would end up destroying the one good institution which we have.

 

[Mutakalim]

The first Caliphs were elected by representatives of different tribes and peoples.

Up to Ameer ul Momeneen Hassan R.a Caliphs were elected by people. Hence we Called them true Caliphs. Beyond that dictatorial rule sets in.

Thats why i mentioned the TE course. They come back to study it in MCS at rank of captain.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

I am ok with the current system we have , we need to focus more on education

• 80 % Sciences
• 10% Sports
  
• 5% Religion
• 5% (Open choice Music, Horse Riding , Fencing ,What ever you desire)

For the military we have a system that include good morals and logic and that works fine ,
we don't need strict code to be successful or failure. Religion is a personal matter , and if needed a person can reach to his inner thought freely


Most of the item suggested are already part of modern society , as you know

• We have judiciary
• We have Constitution
• We have finance department
• We have provincial ministers etc
• We have financial budgets while are allocated to cities (Treasury etc)

So all that stuff is already there.....Is it not there ? This break down exists universally across different countries


The idea of Council of Ummah, advising head of Country is a bit power hunger from my personal perspective. This council should only be impacting may be grade 5-10 kids for basic religion teaching at school (basic teaching), after age 15-18 You can seek more in depth studies should you want

• Helping may be hajj duties
• May be advice on personal life matter to people on personal level if they seek out answer

But the folks in these role should be "Educated" properly educated

Islam itself is Democracy , notice

When a Caliph used to pass away people used to recommend name of next person of great virtue and respect between peer , that itself seems to me a lot like Democracy, however , not along the line of "Family name etc as it is done in our country"

Democracy - Islam works well, and lets keep Council of Ummah advisors low profile in school only and focused on teaching respecting and good values , away from politics

Council of Ummah's role should only be grade 5-10 Kids so basics of religion are taught, after age of 18 it is up to person to seek more knowledge for personal goals , religion does not impacts your work or your job


The ideology of Caliphate, only survived up to 4-5 Caliphs after that it was quasi family and monarchies and lot of political gamesmanship


Going back the system we have now is excellent, it already has many good features

• Democracy (Giving people chance to voice concern etc all group of people)
• And a very credible Armed forces (With high morals and faith)

As stated in speech Pakistani forces follow the best principles of Islam i.e Humanity

And certainly when head of army stated we always promote virtues of humanity based on how our religion teaches us to respect lives and alway do our best

• Otherwise the Chinese model of Government is also excellent (Social worker based) , and there is no reason why such a system cannot also work for Pakistan (Even if social workers happen to practice their faith etc ) it is independent on religion

If you have a LEADER in your country , they are Leader you can call them any name/title you want as long as your country is producing Exceptional Leaders !!! in both Civilian and Armed forces

From high level they can have any title xyz , but as long as they have Leadership that is all that matters.

We can call them Prime Minister / Field Marshal / Caliph / Commander General etc its all same , its just a title for LEADER

 

[Apprentice]

It is the obligation of leaders to establish the Khilafah.

Hizb ut Tahrir is wrong and encourages rebellions and anarchy. This is not allowed in Islam.

While qualifying for a technical course in Signals College, there was a captain in the course who used to talk all the time about Khilafat, Ummah etc. He had a small beard and had very strict views about Islam which he didnt mind sharing.

He joined the course for a few days and was then sent back to his unit.

A lot of Pakistani soldiers have long beards and are regular namazis.

What are the views of these people in the army?

 

[Major d1]

Hizb ut Tahrir is wrong and encourages rebellions and anarchy. This is not allowed in Islam.

I support Hiz but Tahrir. Bcz they are non- violate party . And follow the method of Prophet(PBUH). Their main agenda is re-establishment of khilafah-e- rasida. Yes in Pakistan they are banned. They are banned bcz they talked against US . Same as Bangladesh. They are seeking Nusrah to the Army , that Army give them power. High-court of pakistan gave stay order for this islamic outfit. They are working more then 73 countries with same agenda. By force Pakistani govt. arrested Navid but , spokesmen of hiz- but-tahrir pakistan, without any reason. From 1953 they are working for the same agenda.

Our leaders are slave of west, They will never ever try bring back Islam as a state. They know Islam ruled half of the world more then 1400 centuries, They are concern if again khilafah come, they have to go to hole.

Islam isn't democracy.

Democracy suggest man made law, where Allah (SWT) said, He Allah (swt) is the law maker. This is clash of ideology.

Khilafah vs Democracy (Islamic economic system vs Capitalist system)

1. 1. Taken from the literature of “Islamic global organization”
2. 2. Capitalism: An exploitative System Let us observe some important stats of the beacon of Capitalist State The United States of America
3. 3. In America: In America: 37 million people live below the official poverty line—12.6 percent of the total population At least 2.3 million people experience homelessness at some point each year, including nearly 1 million children The richest among them has more wealth than the bottom 45 percent of the households combined
4. 4. Capitalist system: Polarization of Wealth is the Hallmark of Capitalist system
5. 5. Net worth and financial wealth distribution in the U.S. in 2007
6. 6. Rich getting richer and poor getting poorer  Microsoft CEO Bill Gates has more wealth than the bottom 45 percent of American households combined.  Business Week reports that in 1999 top executives earned 419 times the average wage of a blue-collar worker, up from 326:1 in 1998. In 1980, the ratio was 42:1.
7. 7. Percentage of wealth held by the Top 10% of the adult population in various Western countries Concentration of Wealth in the West Country wealth owned by top 10% Switzerland 71.3% United States 69.8% Denmark 65.0% France 61.0% Sweden 58.6% UK 56.0% Canada 53.0% Norway 50.5% Germany 44.4% Finland 42.3%
8. 8. Year Poor: Rich ratio 1820 3:1 1913 11:1 1950 35:1 1973 44:1 1992 72:1 Where is the world headed!!!!! An analysis of the trend of the widening gap between the rich and the poor countries
9. 9. System not Resources Pakistan's misery due to the rotten Capitalist system not because of lack of resources!
10. 10. Islamic Economic System vs Capitalist System Comparison
11. 11. Economic Problem Khilafah Democracy Human needs are of two types Basic Needs (limited) Luxurious Needs World resources are enough to fulfil basic needs of all the people of world 1 Human needs are unlimited while there are limited resources to fulfil them Solution: Distribution of wealth and resources to guarantee all basic needs to each individual Create opportunities so that maximum number of people can work to fulfil there luxurious needs Solution: Needs of all the people won’t be fulfilled Increase Production to fulfil needs of as many people as possible Rules related to collection of funds and its distribution constitute “Economic System” and cannot be taken fromotherthan Islam Methods to increase production is “Economic Science” and can be taken from othercivilizations including the West
12. 12.  The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) reported in 1998 that the world's 225 richest people now have a combined wealth of $1 trillion. That's equal to the combined annual income of the world's 2.5 billion poorest people.  As of 1995 (the latest figures available), Federal Reserve research found that the wealth of the top one percent of Americans is greater than that of the bottom 95 percent  According to the US Census Bureau, 35.9 million people live below the poverty line in America including 12.9 million children. (http://www.census.gov)  The wealth of the three most well-to-do individuals now exceeds the combined GDP of the 48 least developed countries  UNDP calculates that an annual 4 percent levy on the world's 225 most well-to-do people (average 1998 wealth: $4.5 billion) would suffice to provide the following essentials for all those in developing countries: adequate food, safe water and sanitation, basic education, basic health care and reproductive health care. Resources are limited- Non sense
13. 13. Ownership
14. 14. Economic System: Ownership & Types of Properties Khilafah Capitalism Three types of ownership Individual Public State Oil, Gas1 , non-delectable minerals2 etc and anything on which society depends and people will disperse in pursuit for it, remains in public ownership If these were owned individually this will deny the public from benefiting from these huge resources, creating misery for the common man Freedom of ownership Individuals or companies can own anything and everything Multinational companies are ‘free’ to own public properties such as oil, gas, parks etc They are ‘free’ to spend or hoard the wealth as they please  Huge resources forpeople’s welfare  Cost of utilities much lower  The foundation of economic colonisation
15. 15. Economic System: Pakistan’s Privatization Drive Privatized To Be privatized ABL, HBL, UBL, MCB Bankers Equity Ltd Hub Power Co, Kot Addu Power Co PTCL (Ufone, Paknet, TIP, CTI) Steel Mill (Decision Reversed) Ghee Corporation of Pakistan KESC UCH Power Ltd, Saba Power Ltd Dharki Power Ltd Oil and Gas exploration Licenses are innumerable OGDCL, PSO, PPL, SNGPL, SSGPL NIT, ICP Sindh Engineering, Bolan Textile Lyallpur Chemical and Fertilizer Co. Javedan Cement, Karachi Shipyard Republic Motors, Lasbella Textiles Heavy Mechanical Complex HPFL (Hazara Phosphate Fertilizer Limited) Jamshoro Power Co, Pak Arab Fertilizer, Mustahekam Cement In first ten month of 2004-2005 assets worth $3.6 billion has been sold: Survey 2005:2006 Current yearprivatization target is 75 billion rupees.
16. 16. Taxation
17. 17. Taxation in a Capitalist System  Tax the poor and average man  Give tax-breaks to the  Rich  Multinational companies  Landlords
18. 18. Taxes in America Who Benefits from Bush's Tax Cuts?  George Bush's 2001 $1.3 Trillion tax cut was the largest in US history  The Top 1% supper-rich got 37 % of Bush's tax cut as saving ($481 billion)  Whilst the bottom 80% of Americans only got 29 % of the total tax cut ($377 bn)  The tax cut savings clearly shows that Bush works for the Super-Rich, and that he is willing to promote their interests above those of all other Americans
19. 19. Taxes in Pakistan  Agriculture sector in Pakistan contributes 40% to the GDP whilst astonishingly its contribution to the tax revenue is a meager 1%  GST, which is an indirect tax extracted from common man, constitutes 37% of the total tax-revenue of Pakistan  No Zakat taken from the land mafia which owns billions of rupees of land for the last decade or so. Islam requires a Muslim to give two and half percent of the value of the tradable goods in alms as Zakat  Currently No Ushr and Kharaj being levied on Agriculture produce  No wonder in democracy the elite legislate laws to tax the poor and give tax breaks to themselves
20. 20. Taxes Comparison 2009-10 2008-9
21. 21. Evidences
22. 22. Economic System: Taxes Khilafah Capitalism No Taxes on common man1  GST, Income Tax, Withholding tax, toll taxes etc are all haram and will be abolished There will be following permanent sources of revenues  Al-Kharaj 2  Al-Jizya 3  Al-Ushr 4  The fifth of Al-Rikaz 5 (hidden treasures minerals)  Import and export duty on foreign traders 6  Zakat on import and export of the Muslim Trader 7  Hima (Protecting from public properties) 63.93% (Rs 840 billion) of revenue of Pakistan comes from taxes on the people as per the budget 2006-07 figures. Out of these taxes 67.66% (Rs 569 billion) are indirect taxation that are to be paid by even a beggar, unemployed, handicapped, widow, elderly people and children without any differentiation.
23. 23. Laws related to Agricultural land
24. 24. Economic System: Agriculture and Land laws Khilafah Capitalism Lease of agricultural lands (Muzariyat) is haram1 Leasing of agricultural lands is permitted Agricultural land if not used for 3 years will be confiscated2 and allotted to someone who would cultivate it No such restriction applies to an owner. He is “free” to do whatever he pleases Anybody who occupies a dead land (outside the planned city area) and revives it by building a house or a factory etc becomes the owner of the land as well No such incentive in the current Pakistani system Prohibition of Muzarat coupled with obligation to cultivate land will give rise to land distribution of optimumproductivity Eradicates injustice to Muzarays. Delivers a fatal blow to the colonialist Feudal system(“jageerdarana nizam”)
25. 25. Evidences 1. It was narrated by al-Bukhari that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever has land let him plant upon it or grant it to his brother. If he declined let him hold his land.” 2. Muslim also narrated, “The Messenger of Allah forbade a rent or a share be taken for the land.” 3. The Sunan of An-Nisai states: “The Messenger of Allah forbade leasing the land.We said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, can we then lease it for some of the grain.” He said, ‘No.’ We said, ‘We used to lease it for the straw.’ He said, ‘No.’We said, ‘We used to lease it in return of that on the irrigating Rabee’a.’ He said, ‘No, plant it or grant it to your brother.’” 4. Abu Dawud has narrated from Rafi’a ibn Khadeej that the Prophet also said, “Whoever has land, he has to plant upon it or let his brother plant upon it, and he cannot lease it for its third or fourth or a specified food.”
26. 26. Evidences 1. Bukhari related from ‘Aisha (ra) that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whosoever cultivated a land that is not owned by anybody, then he deserved it more.” 2. Abu Dawud narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whosoever fenced a (dead) land it becomes his” 3. Bukhari narrated from Umar (ra) that he said: “Anyone who cultivated a dead land it becomes his.” Muslims and the Dhimmi are equal in this matter, because the Hadith is general in its words.
27. 27. Evidences 1. By completing the revival, ownership is completed and the land is officially transferred to the peasant. All this must happen before the end of three years after the allocation. This came in the narration narrated by Tawus from ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab who said: “The muhtajir (who shield a land) has no right after three.” ‘Umar implemented this ruling while Sahabah were present and they all approved of this. Hence it becomes Ijma as-Sahabah for us and a Shari daleel.
28. 28. Residential Land Khilafah Capitalism The State guarantees housing for the one who is in capable to build a house for himself and his relatives are also poor cannot support him The Prophet (SAW) said: “The Son of Adam has rights to food, clothing and shelter.” The system doesn’t allow the people to use the resources which Allah has bestowed to man Common man’s biggest problem in building a house is the inflated prices of residential land that can easily be solved through the Khilafah state.
29. 29. Currency
30. 30. Currency Khilafah Capitalism Metallic Currency  Gold  Silver  Any other precious metal  Currency notes can be used in lieu of gold and silver Fiat currency backed by confidence Dollar Euro Protects the currency fromforeign control Puts a checkon devaluation and fake inflation Return of the Gold standard will strike a fatal blow to the colonialist economy
31. 31. Riba
32. 32. Riba Khilafah Capitalism Interest transactions not allowed1 No interest based debt servicing Encourages the wealthy to under take local investment rather than depositing their money in high interest deposit accounts Freedom of ownership allows people to hoard money Riba is the bate for the people to take money out of circulation/ investment and to put into deposit account In 2006:07 Pakistan will pay 295 billion rupees in interest payment. This is 55 billion more than all foreign loan and grants for the year. Relief to common man/investor No interest servicing to IMF and WB.
33. 33. Evidences 1. “That is because they say: Selling is just like usury. Whereas Allah permitted selling and prohibited usury.” [Al- Baqarah: 275]
34. 34. Investment before the advent of Banks Investor Skilled labour Inventor Investor Investor Investor Investor Investor Businessman Entrepreneur Trader In a society devoid of Banks investors are in need of entrepreneurs and businessmen to help increase their wealth On the other hand the skilled labour, inventors and businessmen are in need of investment in order to generate more wealth Hence it is a marriage of convenience for both parties They join together in a partnership to benefit from each other such that the investor bears the risk and the other partner does the work
35. 35. Bank monopolizes the wealth of the society Investor Skilled labour Inventor Investor Investor Investor Investor Investor Businessman Entrepreneur Trader Bank Bank’s Profit = (20-12)% 12% 20% Profit Interest The Bank drains the society off of its wealth by guarantying the investor of sure profit (interest) As a result an entrepreneur and skilled labourer is forced to borrow money from the bank on exploitative terms. According to the contract not only the borrower has to pay hefty interest but he also has to return the principle amount in full even though if his business was in loss. This produces a win-win situation for the investor and the bank. Hence the rich becomes richer and the poor poorer
36. 36. In Muslim societies Banks were not very successful Investor Skilled labour Inventor Investor Investor Investor Investor Investor Businessman Entrepreneur Trader Bank Bank’s Profit = (20-12)% 12% 20% Profit Interest In Muslim societies since people considered Interest as haram therefore Banks was not in total control of the money flow in the society. Billions of dollars of money remained outside Banks control. And skilled labour didn’t need to go to the bank to borrow money as investors were there to help them. As a result banks who thrive on monopolising the money and then forcing people into exploitative contracts couldn’t function properly.
37. 37. Islamic Banking is helping Capitalist Banks Investor Skilled labour Inventor Investor Investor Investor Investor Investor Businessman Entrepreneur Trader Bank Bank’s Profit = (20-12)% 12% 20% Profit Interest Islamic Banking $ $ $ The Banks opened up a Window for Islamic Banking through which Muslims were encouraged to give their money to the banks instead of investing it themselves following Islamic laws This achieved the objective of draining the society off of wealth and hence the skilled labour has become more dependent on the Banks Hence Islamic Banking has actually helped Capitalist system by having stronger grip on the money flow and hence exploit the masses
38. 38. Islamic Banking in the Capitalist system Islamic banking is also tool via which the Imperialist forces engage sincere Muslim in the current Kufr system and deceive them in believing that they can have an Islamic system within the frame workof the existing Kufr Capitalist system. As a result enormous time and effort is wasted in trying to “reform” this kufr system instead of uprooting it and implementing Islamic systemin a comprehensive and radical manner
39. 39. Banking System Khilafah Capitalism Bank do not serve as financial intermediaries. Hence in capitalist sense there are no banks. They will provide services of the like debit card, LC for import export, Online fund transfer, internet payments, etc. They will facilitate/establish communication between the investor (Muwakkil) and worker (Mudharib) Banks acts as financial intermediaries They provide services like debit card, LC for import export, Online fund transfer, internet payments, credit cards. Financing for various heads on interest etc A source of hoarding of wealth Khilafah takes advantage of financial institutions providing financial services and networking whilst protecting the masses from the current banks system which spread their evil through hoarding of wealth, marginal reserve systemand interest etc.
40. 40. Banks in the Khilafah Inventor Investor Investor Investor Investor Businessman Trader Bank • Bank is not a part of the financial contract • Bank is only a financial adviser and facilitator similar to that of a property dealer • Only introduces the two parties and takes service charges for its effort The banks can continue to undertake all non-interests based services and take service charges on them such as:  Current accounts for its customers  Money Transfer  Cash Station Cards  Lockers for valuable items  LC (Bank as a Guarantor) The banks can also act as financial advisors and facilitate the marriage of investors and entrepreneurs /businessmen etc. Government bank will also provide grants and interest free loans to its citizens to enhance economic activity
41. 41. Company Structure
42. 42. Company Structure Khilafah Capitalism All contracts should conform to contracts laid down by shari’ah. Hence exploitation of the needy is not possible Man made laws aimed at benefiting corporates are to be complied. Rules have been written to benefit those who wrote them. Golden rule! “he who has the gold rules” Public limited companies Illegal. i.e. no stock exchanges, futures trading etc. in Khilafah Stock-exchange an integral part of western corporate business. Speculative contracts lead to fiat (Alternative) economy and indexes which is used by the corporations to loot common man’s money while keeping them in dark as happened in the latest saga of energy giant Enron and second largest telecomcompany WorldCom. Khilafah’s economy will be protected from economic crisis as were witnessed in South East Asia during the late ’90s when “Asian Tigers” were wiped by the powerful foreign investors
43. 43. Stock exchanges Khilafah Capitalism No stock exchanges are there in Khilafah. No speculative transactions are allowed as per Islam. Investment is done only in real trade strengthening economy. No chance of drowning of money in stocks as recently happen when 4 billion dollars of small investors were lost in a matter of a week when KSE index dropped from 10,000 to 7000 points. A major portion of investment is done in stocks whose more than 90 % portion has nothing to do with real trade. Real trade has gradually been reduced to less than 10 % of international trade and 90% is only financial transaction. Last year stock market crashed several times drowning trillions of rupees of investors. Stock exchanges are a source of diversion of investment from real trade to speculative business. If all the money that is invested in stocks is directed to real trade it will give rise to a robust economy
44. 44. Valid Companies in Islam Khilafah Capitalism The Company of Equal (Al-’Inan) The Company of Bodies (Al-Abdan) The Company of Body and Capital (Mudharaba) The Company of Reputation Faces (Wujooh) Company of Negotiation (Mufawadha) Public Limited Company Private Limited Companies Guarantee Limited Unlimited Company A Man is not separate from his company He is responsible for the debt of the company. He the stake holder money is safeguarded A man can not hide behind the corporate rules at the time of bankruptcy The Company and the owner are two separate distinct bodies Owner is not responsible for the debt of company beyond his investment Owners always hide behind the corporate rules at the time of bankruptcy.
45. 45. Zakat
46. 46. Zakat Zakat is only taken from Muslim citizen after the passage of one year if his wealth exeeds Nisab which is different for different catagories Liquid Currency Stocks (Raw material or Finish Goods) Receivable – Debts Live Stock Land (Ushr) Any tradable commodity including property Hence as a whole more than 2.5% of the total wealth of the economy is collected from the society and injected back into the poorest echelons of the society. This is a tremendous mechanism of producing a balance in the distribution of wealth within the economy apart from other Ahkam of Islam which allow the down trodden people to improve their economic situation
47. 47. Foreign Loans
48. 48. Foreign Loans- no way Khilafah Capitalism Taking Foreign loans would not be allowed 1 Membership in colonial organisation is also not allowed like Paris club, ADP, Islamic Development Bank, World bank and of course IMF. Foreign loans are the integral part of Pakistan’s capitalist economy This year 239 billion rupees will be received as different type of foreign loans. In 1980 Nigeria took a loan of $3.5 billion from the Paris club. By 1985 this debt had risen $5.8 billion. By 1998 it had risen to 20.9 billion, and is today estimated at 27 billion. Sovereignty of Pakistan was mainly eroded due to foreign loans IMF and WB dictate all our internal policies under the guise of ‘reforms’ and ‘good governance’ Khilafah would liberate us from IMF & WB Structural Adjustment programmes (SAP’s), Poverty reduction strategy Papers (PRSP) conditionalities and improve oureconomy
49. 49. Evidence
50. 50. Economic System: Foreign Traders − not MNC’s Khilafah Foreign trade is assessed on the basis of the citizenship of the trader and not the origin of the goods except goods from countries we are in actual war with like Israel. Merchants from countries that have treaties with the State are treated according to the terms of the treaties Merchants from countries in a state of war with the State are prevented from trading in the State, unless given a special permission Any country with whom we have actual war with, its citizens (such as Israel) is excluded from these rules. The rules applicable to the actual land of war (Dar al-Harb Fa’lan) apply to such country in all the relations
51. 51. Trade
52. 52. Economic System: Local Traders Khilafah Capitalism Merchants who are subjects of the State are prevented from exporting any goods that the enemies could benefit of militarily, industrially or economically No such provision, hence Pakistan is helping India fulfil her energy needs by building two gas pipelines. Which would further strengthen Indian industry and Military to be used against Muslims of Pakistan  This Trade Policy protects the state frompotential enemies in the future They are not prevented from importing any property they own under the pretext of protecting the local industry The government hurts the local trader under the pretext of “Smuggling” while reduces import duty to give monitory benefit to the foreign trader under the guise of “foreign investment” There is nothing known as “Smuggling” in Islam as long as the citizen of the state imports Halal items
53. 53. Import export duties Khilafah Capitalism A Muslim trader only has to pay Zakat (2.5%) of the property during import and export once a year1 No import or export duty other than zakat Import and export duties may be as high as 15 to 20%. Import duties on luxury cars reduced to suit the rich A Zimmi (non-Muslim citizen) will pay according to the contract he had with state at the time of conquest 1 No such distinction A Harbi (foreigner non-Muslim) will pay the same percentage of duty as his country applies on the traders of the Khilafah 2 No such distinction Low import and export duties will enhance trade and improve not only the conditions of the traderratherit will also help ourexports In a Capitalist state people in the legislative assemblies reduce and increase duties to suit theirinterests and make money.
54. 54. Miscellaneous Ahkam
55. 55. Evidences 1. The hoarding of gold and silver was prohibited explicitly in the Qur’an. Allah (SWT) says: “And let those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend them in the way of Allah know that a severe and painful punishment is awaiting them.” [At-Tauba: 34] This warning of severe punishment for those who hoard gold and silver serves as a clear evidence that the Law Giver has decisively ordered us to refrain from doing so; it is therefore forbidden to hoard gold and silver. 2. Islam prohibited pricing absolutely, due to what Imam Ahmad narrated from Anas who said: “Prices increased at the time of the Messenger of Allah , so they said, O Messenger of Allah, we wish would you price (fix the prices). He said: “Indeed Allah is the Creator, the holder (Qabidh), the Open-handed (Basit), the Provider (Raziq), the Pricer (who fixes prices); and I wish I will meet Allah and nobody demands (complains) of me for unjust act I did against him, neither in blood or property.” Also Abu Dawud narrated from Abu Huraira, he said, “A man came and said, O Messenger of Allah, fix prices. He said: “Rather Allah reduces and increases.” 3. S’aid ibn Al-Musayyab narrated from Mu’ammar ibn Abdullah Al-‘Adawi in Bukhari that the Prophet (saw) said: “No one monopolises except the wrongdoer.” Al-Athram narrated from Abu Umamah, he said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) forbade that a foodstuff be monopolised”. And Muslim narrated through his chain of narrators from S’aid ibn Al- Musayyab that Mu’ammar said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever monopolised is a wrongdoer.”’ Monopoly is prohibited (Haram) in all things without a difference between the human foodstuff or animals foodstuff, a foodstuff or not, and of the people’s necessities or luxuries. This is because the linguistic meaning of the word monopolised (Ihtakara) is to compile a thing in its absolute sense (without specification). The word monopolised did not come in the meaning of compiling the foodstuff or the people’s necessities, rather compiling the thing, so it should not be confined to other than its linguistic meaning.
56. 56. Evidences
57. 57. Economic System: Hoarding of Wealth & Price Fixing Khilafah Capitalism Hoarding of wealth (money) is haram and state will take practical steps to prevent it 1 People are “free” to hoard wealth for no reason Islamic systemensures circulation of wealth In Capitalist system banks offer “interest” to encourage people to inject money into economy Islam prohibits price fixing 2 Islam prohibits monopoly 3 Capitalist are still in dilemma as to how to get rid of monopolies; e.g. Microsoft break up litigation
58. 58. Evidences 1. The Islamic economic system came to secure basic needs, irrespective of market conditions for such products. Muhammad (SAW) said, “The son of Adam has no better right than that he would have a house wherein he may live and a piece of cloth whereby he may cover his nakedness and a piece of bread and some water.” According to this principle the Islamic State must ensure for all its citizens (Muslims or Non-Muslim) of the Islamic State a security which western people will never achieve in the heartless obduracy of the application of its free market.
59. 59. Economic System: Basic needs of the masses Khilafah Capitalism Basic needs of all citizens are guaranteed such as food, clothing, shelter, education, health etc. The land laws discussed earlier allow people to attain self-sufficient in food and housing as explained above In the purest form of capitalism there is no concept of public welfare. Khilafah alleviates the suffering of the masses Decreases crime and insecurity in the society Produces a secure economic atmosphere which increases economic activity and investment as the investor doesn’t run the risk of being homeless and struckby hungerin case of a loss
60. 60. Economic System: State Revenues Khilafah Capitalism Sources of Bait -ul-Mal  The booties and the spoil of war1 , Al-Fai2 and the fifth3  Al-Kharaj  Al-Jizya  Protecting some Public property (Hima) 4  State property of land, building utilities and their revenues)  Al-Ushur  Money attained illegally by the rulers, the employees of the State, illicit money and money from penalties  The fifth of Al-Rikaz (hidden treasures) minerals 5  The inheritance property of the one who has no inheritors 6  The property of apostates 7  Charity Funds – Zakat  Taxes (only from the rich Muslims and in specific situations) Predominant source of income is Taxes from the common people. People in the west are taxed upto 35% of their income
61. 61. State Expenditure Priorities Khilafah The expenditures of the State are based around seven areas: The Zakat funds – on fix 8 categories mentioned in the Qur’an. Spending money on the destitute and the poor to ensure their basic needs is a must on the State. Spending on defence, heavy industry and security of the State as well as carrying the Islamic Message to other lands. Allowances of State employees such as salaries of soldiers, civil servants, judges, teachers and the like. Provide utilities to the people such as roads, water services, power services, mosques, schools and hospitals and any other utility considered as necessity for the people. Emergency expenditures such as during famine, flood, earthquake or attack by enemy. Spending on development projects – Only if funds available
62. 62. Implementation of Economic System Khilafah oTo implement Islam’s economic system we require its corresponding ruling system i.e. the Khilafah. In the Khilafah no one has the authority to change Allah’s laws or abrogated them oDictatorship and Democracy cannot implement Islam’s economic system as man is the legislator in both these systems and the powerful can easily change the just laws of Islam in their personal interests to subjugate the rights of the weak and the poor
