FOREWORD
The urgent need of Islamic
literature is felt throughout the world. Many young Muslims by birth, when
asked which religion they adhere to their answer comes hesitatingly
M-U--S-lims. Many others deny or hide their identity and claim to be
progressive `atheists,' since it is the fashion now! It is needless to say that
this shameful situation has resulted from ignorance. It is the dreadful
ignorance about Islamic ideals, concepts, and philosophy. Anyone is shocked at
comparing the magnificent role played by Muslims in history, and seeing today's
Muslims. It is acknowledged that Muslims had performed remarkable achievements
in every field such as, astronamy, algebra, geometry, chemistry, optics, and
medicine.
The human and organisational fields received
their full share also, where the form of government is formulated, wealth is
evenly and justly 3 distributed, rights are protected. The topic of this
booklet is the economic system in Islam. This might cause astonishment among
Muslims who received Western style edu cation. They are taught that religion is
a mere relation between God and man. They are told that religion has nothing to
do with society, its welfare and organisation.
This world is Caesar's Kingdom,
while God's Kingdom is the next world. Islam firmly rejects these foreign
ideas, and dictates that both worlds are belonging to God alone, and it is the
Heavenly light which truly guides towards prosperity. The Muslim Youth
Association, which came into existence last year, is striving to perform the
required Islamic duties. This series of booklets is a humble work, which we
seek through it discharging the big responsibility resting on our shoulders. It
is a small contribution towards the awakening of Muslims, and aid them in
retaining their 4 identity in this wild struggle of ideologies. It is the right
of Islam to be known, before being judged, whether by Muslims or non-Muslims.
This series of booklets will cover some popular Islamic topics, in a short and
lucid style, in order to meet the need of young Muslims who want to know the
basic Islamic concepts.
The writers of these short
surveys are young people, who understand very well present trends, and
convinced that Muslim youth have been neglected and wronged. They feel that
young Muslims were kept aloof from the sources of Islamic knowledge, either by
their fathers' ignorance or by receiving distorted information from non-Islamic
sources. We sincerely believe that if the Muslim youth have the opportunity to
have a glimpse of the realities of Islam, they would stick to it, and never
part from it, as was the case with us. May God accept our work for His sake,
and 5 let it be a good reward in the next world.
