The Economic System of Islam!
Asslamo Allaikum,
Why don't we work towards establishing the ECOMONIC system of Islam. If you pick any standard book of Fiqh (Any School, Any Scholar) you will find that less then 1/4 is Ibadaah (Salah, Fasting) and 3/4 is transactions, social interactions etc.
So where did we as an Ummah lose the balanace?
Allah (SWT) gives the principles for most things in Qur'aan but social interactions are described in absolute detail in Surah Ahzaab & Surah Nur!
If you look at typical questions of Muslims (even on TTI) most of them are about Salah, Mars bars being Haram, Fasting, Circumscion
What happened to Islam as a COMPLETE SYSTEM?
In my opinion we (Muslims) have an incomplete picture of Islam!
We have an economic system which has both capatalism (free market economy) and socialism (helping those who are less fortunate)

P.S: I realise that my statement in bold needs some more explaination, hopefully most people will understand after reading the article in question.
P.P.S: Has anyone ever heard of Mufti (Dr) Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo (student of Mufti Taqi Usmani [Grand Mufti of Pakistan] and professor of Dow Jones university? Look into it!
