Listen to the Audio : The Islamic Economics by Brother Umar Quinn
We live in a time where the Religion of Islaam is being beseiged by attacks from multiple fronts. One of those fronts which might not be so obvious the Islamic economic system. It has been said that if the economic system of Islaam is breached it will have devastating effects in this world and the next. And we are without a doubt witnessing some of these effects today!
The subject of wealth, money and business dealings is one which is very much in need of being understood here in the west due to the capitalistic society in which we live today. If you look at the newspaper headlines you see unprecedented bank closures, wall street bail-outs, corporate kick-backs, multi-billion dollar 'ponzi' schemes all designed to siphon the wealth of the hardworking citizens. What is the solution and how do we achieve it?
In the science of Usool-ul Fiqh, the goal or aim of the religion is to safeguard five (5) matters...the fifth of these aims is the preservation of wealth - which is in fact required to safeguard and protect all of the other four!
We've finally set out to comprehensively address the concerns and the needs of Muslims in the West with answers regarding Islamic economics from the statements of the Ulemaa by discussing:
[1]: The ways of safeguarding and perserving the wealth of the people.
[2]: The need of wealth for survival
[3]: The laws that have been put into place in place regarding cheating, deception etc.
[4]: How Islamic Economics is superior to all other systems of exchange...and why it is the middle path between the extremes of capitalism and socialism and how Muslims have been deceived by this!
[5]: What is the true meaning of globalism or globalization?
[6]: The importance the Salaf gave to taking care of their families while they were alive...and even after death!!!
[7]: The misconception regarding zuhd and wealth and much, much, more...
These preview-lectures will be taken and arranged from the sayings and writings of the Ulemaa past and present by our beloved brother Aboo Suhailah Umar Quinn and others, Insha-Allaah.
