The above fact establishes that the Islamic economic
system is well balanced and moderate it is neither opperssive and capitalistic
like those of the western nations nor it is like those atheistic communists, who
have declared all (other peoples) wealth as lawful for themselves, dishonoured
the (real) owners of the wealth, enslaved them and subjugated other nations and
passed orders against them, and declared lawful (Halaal) what is pronounced by
Almighty Allaah as unlawful (Haraam). As it is proper for you to adopt the
lawful means of earning (as enjoined by Sharee’ah), surely you are better
entitled to earning those things through lawful means (according to
Sharee’ah) which have been legalised by Allaah. Islaam also invites you
towards brotherly feelings based on faith, to do good to others and to respect
Muslims, for the sake of Allaah; it calls upon you to shun illwill, malice,
vanity, misappropriation and similar other vices. Thus Allaah wants to keep
clean every Muslim from all such evil acts as has been said by Him:
“And the
believers, men and women are protecting friends one of another.” (9 : 71)
And Allaah, the Supreme, has also said:
“The
believers are naught else than brothers.” (49 : 10)
The Prophet of Allaah () said: "A Muslim is naught else than
a brother to another Muslim; he neither derogates him, nor commits excess on him." Thus
a Muslim is brother of another Muslim, whose honouring is incumbent upon him and whose
disrespect is forbidden. It is necessary to do justice to him and give him his due rights
by all means the Sharee’ah of Allaah has declared the things as essential; and the
Prophet of Allaah () has said: "The
Muslims as a whole are like a wall and every Muslim strengthens it." And the
Messenger of Allaah () further said: "A Muslim is a mirror for another
Muslim."
Therefore '0' brother you are a mirror for your brother,
and you are the brick of the wall which was founded on the brotherhood of faith.
So fear Allaah, lest you neglect the right of your brother; do realize his
rights, treat him justly, faithfully and truly. It is necessary for you to
accept Islaam completely; do not act upon one thing, and leave the other. Guard
against only accepting the belief and neglecting the deeds and morals; nor you
may only adopt deeds and morals neglecting the belief. In short, we must adopt
Islaam in its entirety, that is in belief, action, worship. Jihaad in social
matters, politics and economics, in other words a perfect Muslim, as has been
enjoined by Almighty Allaah.
“
‘0’ you who believe ! Enter perfectly into Islaam and follow not the footsteps
of Satan. Verily! he is to you a plain enemy .” (2 : 208)
One group of the learned men of the past has explained
the meaning of the verse as to completely enter the fold of Islaam -- the
perfect citedal of protection. Islaam has been described as peace and protection
because it is the way to peace and safety, both in this world and the Hereafter.
So Islaam invites you to salvation - Calls upon you to shed blood for the sake
of true Jihaad (striving for the cause of Allaah) for the enforcement of divine
justice and retribution. Islaam is faith of safety and protection, that is why
Allaah the Exalted says:
“Enter into
Islaam Perfectly.” (2 : 208)
Which means to enter the fold of Islaam completely in
all sections. You should be careful not to adopt some and leave the rest, but
adopt Islaam in frill
“And follow
not the footsteps of devil.” (2 : 208)
