Outline of an Islamic Fiscal Policy

Regarding taxation, Islam has laid out clear guidelines: not only is excessive taxation sinful, but even when collecting taxes even from non-Muslims, there should be no element of hardship. For example, Urwah ibn Zubayr narrated that Hisham ibn Hakeem (RA) once saw a tax collector in Homs mistreating some Christian Copts by making them stand under the sun while collecting Jizya. He objected, citing the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who said: “Allah will punish those who torment people in this world” (Sunan Abi Dawood 3045).

Labour in Comparative Economic Systems

In Marxian economics, it is argued that labor creates surplus value in the production process that capitalists extract in the exchange process. Marx said that the capitalist purchases the use value of labor (service) and pays labor something equivalent to the exchange value of labor time. It is barely enough to keep the labor survive. However, when the capitalist sells products created by “labor power,” these products command more exchange value and this excess is known as surplus value. The surplus accumulates and this is exploitation of labor by the capitalists.

Towards Understanding Riba

Riba is one of the most widely discussed issues around Islamic finance. It has many dimensions, but we will confine ourselves to specific issues of Riba al Fadl and Riba in loans. To achieve the objective, we must define Riba in contemporary terminology. Let us explain it for loan of an amount of money. We need to know whether Riba is nominal excess (nominal interest) or real excess (real interest) or something else.

جناب جاویداحمد غامدی صاحب کی معاشی آراء کا جائزہ

اس مختصر مضمون میں محترم جاوید صاحب کےمعاشی افکار پر کچھ اشکالات پیش کیے جاتے ہیں،  خاص طور پر وہ اشکالات جو بینکنگ سے تعلق رکھتے ہیں۔ اپنے ان افکار کا خیال انہوں نے اپنی کتاب میزان کے قانون معیشت اور چند مضامین میں بھی کیا ہے جو ان کی کتاب مقامات میں چھپے ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ الیکٹرانک اور سوشل میڈیا میں اورعوامی اجتماعات سے گفتگو کرتے ہوئے بھی ان افکار کا اظہار کیا ہے۔ چونکہ یہ پیچیدہ اور اطلاقی مسائل ہیں، اس لیے ممکن ہے اس میں اختلاف رائے اور اختلاف فہم پایا جائے۔ ایسا بھی ضروری نہیں کہ ایک دفعہ کے غور و فکر اور مشاہدہ و مطالعہ سے مسائل کی جڑ اور حل تک کامیابی سے پہنچا جاسکے۔ یہ بھی ضروری نہیں کہ ایک شخص ہی اس ساری تحقیق کو انجام دے یا اس کا ذمہ اٹھائے۔ چنانچہ تبادلہ خیال اور ایک دوسرے کے افکار کا جائزہ لینے میں قباحت نہیں بلکہ اس سے غلطی سے بچنے اور مسائل کے حل تک پہنچنے کا زیادہ امکان ہے۔ اس امید پر یہ چند اشکالات بصد احترام مزید غوروفکر کے لیے پیش کیے جاتے ہیں۔
