Introduction
There is a conspiracy of silence within the media, the economists and the business schools about the topics that will be discussed here. The concept of Global Economic Terroris m is disputed within the med ia as it is a hidden phenomenon, as are the people who control the reins of this operation. It is spread abroad through the system of modern banking, powered by the Zionist Jews along with their other instruments around the world. Usually these issues are not discussed among people due to the fact that the entire ‗Organizat ion of Kufr‘ is based on them. We should be able to understand the ways of their economic system, due to which wars are fought and nations are enslaved, and comprehend the role of the World Ban k, the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations in this context, as well as recognize the point in time when gold currency got transformed into paper currency. It is also necessary for us to understand the operation of the Zionist banking system, the Federal Reserve, the Ban k of Eng land, the Swiss banking system, etc. This will enable us to realize how, with the help of these institutions, the disbelievers operate, establish and maintain their ‗regime of d isbelief‘ over the countries of the world. The Messiah that the Jews are waiting for is actually the Dajjal (antichrist) amongst Muslims. Each and every Prophet (peace be upon them all) warned his nation of the Dajjal‘s dangers, the last being the warning from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Order of Greater Israel that is being established all over the world by conquering and enslaving nations is basically the system of the Dajjal. These statements are not based on emotion or anger. Their banking system helps prove how religiously impo rtant it is to them to establish and maintain the Dajjal‘s or Firawn‘s (pharaonic) system of govern ment all over the world. The issues that will be d iscussed here may be surprising and alarming, but they will help us to understand the instability and terror that is prevalent in today‘s world. At the same time they are so incredible that people may well ask why they have not heard of them fro m any other source. This is the Conspiracy of Silence. We will try to break that silence now and discuss these issues more openly. If the message reaches the nation and the problem is identified, then we may be able to come up with solutions and solve it.

History
People have continuously been creating civilizat ions, disciplines and governments for thousands of years , like the Mongolian Emp ire of Genghis Khan, the Persian Empire , the Ro man Emp ire, the Khilafah of Usmaniyah [Ottoman Empire], the Muslim Empire in Spain etc. People have founded even bigger civilizations than those that exist today. Simu ltaneously nations have been interacting and trading with each other for thousands of years. The economic system of all these civilizat ions was based on gold and silver i.e. it was based on the Dirham and Deenar. These were accepted without any depreciation all around the world, in any emp ire, under any emperor. This basic concept that man has always dealt in gold and silver has to be understood with conviction, because the entire system of ku fr, the Global Econo mic System established by the Zionists, is adamant that the world should not go back to trading in gold and silver ever again. It may appear to be a small issue but their entire economic system is based on maintaining this. People long ago used to follow the barter system, trad ing commod ities for co mmodit ies, silk for food etc. Thereafter the mediu m of exchange became gold and silver. Currency is the basic foundation of any economic system. This is the reason why Allah (swt) and the Prophet (pbuh) have emphasized the role of currency in the Quran and Sunnah. Whenever Allah (swt) talks about currency in the Quran, He relates it in terms of gold and silver, that is, Dirham and Deenar. Thus the Muslim Economic System, which is a just and balanced economic system, and economies in human history, are both based on gold and silver. If we analyze any great ancient civilization, like the Ro man Emp ire, the Persian Emp ire etc. we will always find it dealt in gold and silver.

Currency value of Gold and Silver The fundamental quality of a currency is that it should have a value of its own. Gold and silver have an intrinsic value which is creditable around the world. A person was unrestricted when he traded in gold and silver. For instance, if a man fro m Ch ina went to trade in Europe, his gold currency would be accepted not only in Europe but everywhere in the world. It was impossible in that economic system for a person sitting in Europe to enslave the entire Chinese nation. When a person traded in his own country, it was not possible fo r a Jew sitting in New Yo rk to take a share fro m him, because the transactions were in real wealth. People were free. If a person buried a bag of gold in the ground and came back after 100 years to get it back, it still remained gold, and so it was transferable wealth. Its worth could not be devalued or depreciated. It had a status of its own. These were the fundamental qualities of gold and silver due to which stable economic systems existed. If a king wanted to bring wealth into the market he had to search for and purify gold. He could not simply pour wealth in abundance into the market. If an enemy country wished to create your currency, it too had to make gold coins. The country could not just bring in paper and copy the bank notes. The point here is that the world ’ s best economic system is a system which does not boast of inflation and is based on currency with an intrinsic value. When one buys something from someone and gives something in exchange for it, it should have an equal value. This is why Allah (swt) in the Quran has permitted 1
trade and prohibited Riba which was prevalent even in the system of gold and silver in those days.
ُ))اىَرٌَِِ ٌَؤْمُيَُُ٘ اىسِثَب ىَب ٌَقٍَُُُ٘٘ إِىَب مَََب ٌَقًُُ٘ اىَرِي ٌَزَخَجَطُُٔ اىّشٍَْطَبُُ ٍَِِ اىََْطِ ۚ ذَٰىِلَ ثِؤٌََُّْٖ قَبىُ٘ا إَََِّب اىْجٍَْغ (( ٍِثْوُ اىسِثَب ۗ َٗأَحَ وَ اىئَُ اىْجٍَْغَ َٗحَسًََ اىسِثَب Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands one whom the Evil One by his touch hath driven to madness. That is because they say: "Trade is like usury," but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. (Surah Baqarah: 275)
Riba is an Arabic word that literally means ‗increase‘ or ‗raise‘. It is defined as an obligatory conditional excess over and above the principal loan exchanged for similar types due to delayed payment. It is prohibited in Islamic law because of its exploitative nature. 1

Riba ‗Riba‘ or interest means simply to give a loan of Rs.100 to a person and then demand Rs.120 back fro m him. Usuryminded Jews flourished even in those days. Allah describes them, and especially warns us about them in many places in the Quran. He advises us to try to understand how the Jews conducted their economic transactions. They used to claim that trade was also like taking interest, but Allah made trade halaal and interest haraam. Allah and the Prophet (hubp ) have declared war against those who take riba.
ِ إَُِ اىَرٌَِِ آٍَُْ٘ا َٗػََِيُ٘ا اىّصَبىِحَبدO ٌٍٍِ)) ٌََْحَقُ اىئَُ اىسِثَب َٗيُزْثًِ اىّصَدَقَبدِ ۗ َٗاىئَُ ىَب ٌُحِتُ مُوَ مَّفَبزٍ أَث ٌَب أٌََُٖب اىَرٌَِِ آٍَُْ٘اOَََُُّ٘ٗأَقَبٍُ٘ا اىّصَيَبحَ َٗآرَُ٘ا اىصَمَبحَ ىٌَُْٖ أَجْسٌُُْٕ ػِْْدَ زَثٌِِْٖ َٗىَب خَْ٘فٌ ػَيٌٍَِْْٖ َٗىَب ٌُْٕ ٌَحْص ُِْفَئُِْ ىٌَْ رَّفْؼَيُ٘ا فَؤْذَُّ٘ا ثِحَسْةٍ ٍَِِ اىئَِ َٗزَ ظُ٘ىِِٔ ۖ َٗإO ٍٍَِِِْْارَقُ٘ا اىئََ َٗذَزُٗا ٍَب ثَقًَِ ٍَِِ اىسِثَب إُِْ مُْْزٌُْ ٍُؤ (( َََُُ٘رُجْزٌُْ فَيَنٌُْ زُءُٗضُ أٍََْ٘اىِنٌُْ ىَب رَظْيََُُِ٘ َٗىَب رُظْي Allah will deprive usury of all b lessing, but will g ive increase for deeds of charity; for He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked. Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lo rd: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers. If ye do it not, take notice of war fro m Allah and His Messenger: but if ye turn back, ye shall have your capital sums; deal not unjustly, and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly. (Al-Baqarah : 276-279) It is reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) observed: ―Avoid the seven noxious things. It was said (by the hearers): What are they, Messenger of Allah? He (pbuh) replied: Associating anything with Allah, magic, killing of one whom God has declared invio lable without a just cause, consuming the property of an orphan and consuming usury, turning back when the army advances and slandering 2
chaste women who are believers, but unwary. ‖

This is indeed an issue to be pondered upon. What is the reason for Allah and the Prophet (hubp ) to declare war against the Riba system? This is a grave and frightening iss ue. Allah says that whoever deals in riba is like the one whom the Evil One by his touch has driven to madness.
((ِ)) اىَ رٌَِِ ٌَؤْمُيَُُ٘ اىسِثَب ىَب ٌَقٍَُُُ٘٘ إِىَب مَََب ٌَقًُُ٘ اىَ رِي ٌَزَخَجَطُُٔ اىّشٍَْطَب ُُ ٍَِِ اىََْط

Allah (swt) has mentioned this with severe emphasis. Today‘s global economic system is established on the foundation of the riba system. This system, the rule of the Dajjal wh ich the Zionists want to establish, is a prerequisite for the fulfillment of their dream o f a Greater Israel fro m where they can dominate and enslave the whole world, both economically and physically. One must understand the difference between the systems of riba and real currency, and know how they have man ipulated the whole economic system fro m the 1800s until today. There are different aspects related to this. We have to first understand currency, which is the basic concept. In the history of humankind currency was always real wealth. When we carry out a transaction with commodit ies, each involved should have a value. The meaning of cash used to be exchanging wealth for wealth, or gold or silver coins. Such was the stable economic system.

The development of the concept of paper money
Let us take the exa mp le of a scenario in a community where people use gold and silver coins, as was the practice in previous times. A person opens a shop in that commun ity, which he names The Bank. He then convinces the people that they would have trouble carrying gold and s ilver around, might possibly get robbed, and would definitely co me across many difficu lties. This persuades them to bring their gold and deposit it with him whereupon he gives them a receipt for the gold they have left (safe deposit). People give 100 co ins and he gives them a receipt for that amount. The people are satisfied and they deposit their coins in the bank and take receipts. If 100 coins were kept in the bank and 100 receipts were going around in the market, the situation was fine. Whoever wanted coins could come to the bank with the receipt, take back their coins and leave. It was very convenient for them. However after this it so happened that the person who made the bank saw that people were very happy in doing transactions with receipts and real ized that no one came back to him to take the coins. He had the choice of issuing more receipts, and even though he had a wealth of 100 4
coins he started issuing receipts for 1000 coins . The extra 900 receipts that he iss ued were fake, with no gold to back them. The banking system is exact ly the same. If there are 100 gold coins and 100 receipts then all is well and good because they are guaranteed. However when they started creating fake receipts for 900 gold coins and let them circulate in the market, people did not know whether there was any gold backing them or not and there was no guarantee for those receipts. Thus whatever receipt was being circulated in the market was fake, as there was no gold behind it at all. People executed transactions assuming that there was gold behind them, and they did not know that the interest driven banker running the bank had disappeared with the gold. When they found out about this they hurried to get back their gold, but it was not there. The result was the collapse of the whole system. This is not a story, but a regular situation in the whole of Europe during the 15th , 16th , 17th and 18th centuries, as the Jews were using this

same method to take the gold away fro m the people. The usury-minded Jews established these institutions in different places in the whole of Europe and everywhere else. It was durin g those very times that they started the insurance schemes, banking systems etc. and people found transactions increasingly easier. This system has a very ancient history. The Imperia l Age was being established at the time and the Jews‘ ideas were being used. After every few years a bank would collapse, meaning that the man used to disappear with the gold and the people who had accounts would lose their money and become bankrupt. This concept was the start of modern banking. We are taking the case study of the US, and will move towards the Federal Reserve later on as the major currency in the world today is the dollar. With this one example we will co me to know about the entire world ‘s governments. Between 1870 and 1890, a lot of private banks were being opened in America which kept the people ‘s gold coins, and American dollars (receipts) were issued against them. The receipts were acknowledgement slips of the gold that was stored in the banks, and banknotes started this way. This was done by small banks in America. As explained earlier, even when America came into existence gold and silver used to go around in the market. It was the same even in the British Emp ire i.e. the British Sterling pound was 1 gold coin. The Bank of England did the same thing along with the Americans. They issued a note for the sterling pound i.e. it was the same thing whether one used the gold coin or the note. The bank exchanged it. This was gold backed currency , and the economic system had gold as its guarantee. Thus we see that in the 19th century, the American economy was gold backed; the currency was gold. Then the small banks came up, that issued notes for the gold that was kept with them. They started printing notes and giving them to people. They initiated the same process of issuing fake notes i.e. 1000 dollar notes for 100 gold coins and the people never realized. When the people went to withdraw their currency, they found out that there was less gold than they thought there to be. If 800 people went, there were just 100 co ins and the receipts could withdraw those 100 co ins only. The result was the collapse of the bank and this was known as “Run on the B anks”, a term which is also used today. Recently a bank in England known as the Northern Rock collapsed. It was due to the same reason; they had issued more receipts than the gold that was with them. Banks and the usury-hungry Jews were interested in taking interest and so they gave more and more loans so that they could get more and more interest. Making people‘s lives miserable was a goal ingrained in them. Ban ks in America started collapsing, with interest driving them insane as it is something that has been touched by Satan. They could not help themselves. They could not stand to keep the economic system stable. They repeated this forgery i.e.
14
Economic Terroris m
they took people‘s money, issued more receipts than gold present, and when people came to take it back, the bank collapsed. Towards the end of the 19th century, a bank collapsed every 20 to 30 years. The result was that in 1913, the banks got together and acknowledged it themselves that they were known for taking people‘s money an d keeping it for themselves, and that after every few years one of them collapsed. As they considered this behavior to be completely legal all the private banks got together and opened a big bank, a bank which would help them if any one of them lost money. This bank would provide the collapsing bank with back up and support. In this way, fifteen or sixteen private banks in A merica got together and created a big bank known as “The US Federal Reserve”. One should note carefully that the US Federal Reserve is a Private Bank. The US government does not own it. Suppose that, if five or six banks in a country get together and buy the state bank, then the country‘s government would not have any say in the state bank. The government would not be able to issue its currency and only the private bank would have the right to issue the currency. The full economic system is then controlled by only a few people.

The Federal Reserve Bank5
The Federal Reserve Bank was created in 1913 by the Zionists whose banking system was so powerful and influential in the US economy that they made the Congress pass the bill in a matter of one hour. The Congress itself gave the authority of issuing the American currency to this private corporation. In other words, ten to twelve Jews obtained the authority to issue bank notes for the American economy and the US govern ment was rendered unable to issue its own currency. If the US government required money it had to take loans from the Federal Reserve. The power was , and still is, in the hands of those who have the money. The currency does not belong to the US government; it belongs to the Federal Reserve, whose Jewish owners also have shares in different banks. The Federal Reserve also gives its share holders 6% interest annually. The Federal Reserve used to console the people by telling them that they did not have to worry about losing their money. Their money was safe with the Federal Reserve, even if the bank collapsed (insurance). It was important to give the American people this consolation in order to keep the banking and interest systems intact or else banks would collapse every few years.

On December 23, 1913, the Federal Reserve Act, also known as the Glass-Owen Bill, was passed. The President, Dr. Thomas
Woodrow Wilson, signed it into law one hour after it was passed by the Congress! The Federal Reserve System is an independent central bank. Although the President of the United States appoints the chairman of the Fed, and this appointment is approved by the United States Senate, the decisions of the Fed do not have to be ratified by the President, or anyone else in the executive branch of the United States government. Buried in the legislation was the granting of total power over the monetary policies of all US banks. A very curious statement is found in the original 1913 law. SEC. 30. ‗The right to amend, alter, or repeal this Act is hereby expressly reserved‘.

The Zionists
One interesting issue here is that the Federal Reserve Bank was made privately by a few Jews. Who were those people who had such power to snatch the authority to issue currency from the US govern ment, and thus prevent the US government fro m issuing its own currency? Who were those people who made the US govern ment take a loan 6
for even a single dollar? These persons were not just Jews; they had Zionists among them. Zionists are not Jews, but they have the agenda of the Jews. They are also known as the Freemasons, who have control all over the world. People are familiar with them but they do not know their in fluence on America‘s banking system. Formerly, they were those who worked for many years to create a separate state for the Jews. Their foundation starts 7
8
fro m the Crusades. The Templar and Hospitallar knights that led the crusade wars were basically Freemasons or Zionists; they were not Christians. They were a secret society and had secret rituals. They faked Christianity and when the Church came to know their secret, it killed and eradicated them fro m its domains.

Zionism is the national revival movement of the Jewish people. It holds that the Jews have the right to self-determination in their own national home, and the right to develop their national culture. Historically, Zionism strove to create a legally recognized national home for the Jews in their historical homeland. This goal was implemented by the creation of the State of Israel. Today, Zionism supports the existence of the state of Israel and helps to inspire a revival of Jewish national life, culture and language. Zionism seeks to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law (or International Law). 7
Commonly known as the Knights Templar or the Order of the Temple, it was among the most famous of the Western Christian
military orders. Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church around 1129, Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. Non-combatant members of the Order managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom, innovating financial techniques that were an early form of banking, and building many fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land. The Crusaders referred to the Al Aqsa M osque as Solomon's Temple, and it was from this location that the Order took the name of "Templar" knights. 8
The Knights Hospitallar was a Christian organization that began as a hospital founded in Jerusalem in 1080 to provide care for
poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. After the Western Christian re-conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade it became a religious/military order under its own charter, and was charged with the care and defense of the Holy Land.

For examp le, the symbol on the US one dollar bill is known as the Seal of the United States of America. Currencies are indigenous and so they are related to their o wn country. However, the US one dollar bill is the world‘s only currency which has an Egyptian pyramid and a strange eye on its apex Figures Figure 1). What is the relation between an Egyptian pyramid and the United States of America? Freemasonry or Zionism is an extremely strong religio-cultural belief that is based on Judaism. Their idol is not Mu sa (A) but Firawn or the Pharaoh. This is the reason why the Tomb of the Pharaohs is on the US one dollar bill and the eye is what the Muslims call, Dajjal‘s eye. People do interpret this in different ways but there is no doubt that it is a Freemasonic seal. What is this seal doing on an American dollar bill? It is certainly a worrying situation to find the seal of a small private family on a currency note. The whole economic system of the US which is based on interest was established, maintained and controlled by Freemasons, a secret so ciety. Most of the American Presidents were Freemasons. Abraham Lincoln was not a Freemason and he was killed when he tried to break their system. It was such a powerful group in the US Congress that it was able to make them pass a bill within a matter of minutes.

Manipulation of the gold coins 9
In1933 the Freemasons conducted their first experiment. They passed a law in the whole of the Un ited States that the American nation should not use gold and silver coins. Whoever made use of gold and s ilver would be fined $10,000 or jailed for ten years, or both (Figure 2). Thus all the A mericans had to deposit all their coins in the Federal Reserve, and they were issued receipts against those coins i.e. American dollar bills. Simu ltaneously the Bank of Eng land did exactly the same thing. They wanted to create a powerful regime over the whole world. They had done this on a smaller level before. No w with the Federal Reserve behind them, they did the same on a national level. In 1933 the value of gold was 20 dollars an ounce i.e. 1 coin of gold had a value of 20 dollars. The entire American nation sold their gold at this rate to the Federal Reserve and took currency not es in exchange. After some time the US govern ment did something strange and illogical. They gave the nation permission to use gold coins again. However, now the same gold coins were sold to them at 35 dollars an ounce. In other words in a year the American currency had depreciated 41%. Thus when the same people came to get their gold back they got only half of it. Half their gold was gone. It is important to understand this because: They did this as an experiment to see if they could befool a whole nation. They were successful and were satisfied with the results. They wanted to see if they could devalue the paper currency according to their whims and desires . There were no rules on the basis of which they devalued the paper currency. One day they would say that the value of an ounce of gold is 20 dollars and then they would later say it was 35 dollars. It was because of the strength and authority of their system that no one questioned or challenged them. The American nation was deceived and the value of gold was stabilized at 35 dolla rs an ounce. Till the year 1934 the Zionists were successful with in America. They had complete control over the A merican economy. They had created the Federal Reserve which had s maller banks under it and they gave loans to the American people and took interest fro m them. The US government took loans from the Federal Reserve, repaying them with interest, for which it taxed its people.

The federal government, on the spurious grounds of fighting the Great Depression, ordered the confiscation of all monetary gold from Americans. Emergency Banking Act of 1933 was passed by the Congress on M arch 9 without even being read. It gave the secretary of the Treasury the power to require all individuals and corporations to hand over all their gold coin, gold bullion, or gold certificates.

The Aftermath of World War II Next, the Zionists planned to accumulate all the gold from the world. They knew that wars were of great use for this purpose. In the history of the Second World War you will find how they financed Hitler
10
and how they financed
both the sides to whip up a war. There were just two places in the world, Swit zerland and America, where there were stockpiles of gold and where war was not fought. All the countries in Europe were fighting with each other except for Swit zerland. The bankers there were gathering and stocking up gold. Usually a wealthy country is attacked first when there is war going on around it, but no one attacked therefore the simp le reason that they were the financiers. People were depositing their money fro m fear of war. The A merican bankers financed the whole European war effort and they took payment fro m the whole of Europe in gold, not in paper currency. By World War II, the Zionists laid down the foundations to make an Israeli nation. They destroyed all of Europe but also helped to rebuild it through loans from the Federal Reserve. The mo re money they gave to Europe, the more interest they got from them. Most of the wealth of these European nations came into the hands of the Federal Reserve in the form of remittances of the loans they had taken. By the end of Second World War, 80% of the gold stocks from the world had been snatched and put in the Federal Reserve. The dangerous plan which they had init iated in 1913 was now implemented in the whole of Europe.

After that the Zionists wanted to imp lement this method in the whole world so they signed an agreement known as the Bretton Wood agreement
11
on the 22nd of July, 1944. in this way the United Nat ions, the World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) came into existence. The IMF charter states that none of the countries in the world can deal in gold nor can they use gold or anything that is backed by gold. Gold currency vanished from the whole of Europe due to the war. The gold that was supposed to be behind the currency was not there. The currency was just useless paper, similar to the example stated previously. Through the Bretton Wood agreement, the Zionists had the control and the trust of the people, and created and maintained a deception like that of the Samiri
12
(who
gathered the gold from the people and created a statue for them to worship , and cheated them). These people did the same thing; they snatched the gold fro m the whole world and made a du mmy o f an economic system and told the world that this was their lord and that they should worship it. Basically the IM F and the World Bank are their instruments through which they spread their system of interest around the whole world. It is important to know the history of this system in order to understand it. Europe‘s gold was gone and the Federal Reserve started giving loans. Through the Bretton Wood agreement, the Dollar became the relative pegged currency i.e. the dollar was pegged to gold and all other currencies were pegged to the dollar. They had taken away the gold fro m behind all the currencies and kept it only behind the dollar, thus achieving complete control. Later they de-pegged the dollar fro m gold and even the dollar was turned into a floating currency.
11
It was an agreement signed in 1944 that outlined rules and regulations for an international monetary system. It established a
fixed exchange rate linked to the U.S. dollar, with other countries pegging their currency to the dollar. It created the International M onetary Fund (IM F), as well as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), a precursor for the modern World Bank. By the 1970s the fixed exchange rate collapsed, as the U.S. was no longer willing to exchange the dollar for gold. The agreement was so named because it was signed in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.
Surah Al A‘raf:152 - While Allah was manifesting His presence to M usa(A) and divulging to him the secrets of creation and of the structure of religion, some of the Israelites, under the direction and supervision of a person called Samiri, constructed and worshipped a statue of a golden calf. This deception came about through the action of Samiri, who was endowed with a degree of knowledge and insight into religion, but who used that insight to falsify rather than clarify matters. 12

After World War II, as all of Europe needed loans to rebuild and develop its nations, the Federal Reserve started issuing dollar bills in abundance and sending them all over the world; but they were not using them in their own country. Normally when a nation issues more currency notes than necessary, it is called inflat ion whereby prices go up. The American economy was not affected; rather it made the whole world debt -ridden by giving loans. As the dollar became the standard currency, all the countries started gathering dollars. Subsequently they asked the countries to carry out all international trade and energy deals (especially oil) in dollars. They made two o il exchanges; one in New York and the other in London, where trading had to be done in dollars. In short the whole world needed dollars to conduct trade and it had become as good as gold or even better. Dollars were kept as reserves in banks and earned interest. One important point here is that America was not giving the loan but the Federal Reserve was giving it to the US government at 10% interest and the US government was giving it to Europe at 20% interest. Therefore this was an ‗interest over interest‘ system and the Jewish bankers of the Federal Reserve were benefiting fro m the remittances of interest fro m Europe. For the last 200 - 300 years the Zionists and the Freemasons have dominated the world through their glo bal conspiracy. Our nations started realizing this fact much later. They succeeded in invading the world very quickly and now their immoral faces are out in the open for everyone to see. Before going further, it needs to be understood why all this is being emphasized. A ll the disruptions, the difficu lties and the depressions the world is experiencing today and the disasters that have spread, the shortages of fuel and food supplies, global warming, water pollution, the advent of a new ice age, the damage to the ozone layer, the depletion of fishes in the seas due to over-fishing – all these terrible d isasters which they have created in this world of Allah (swt) – have just one reason behind them. And that reason is their aim to establish the Capitalist Economic System based on the system of Riba. They have brought the whole world on the verge of collapse. They are those on whom Allah‘s wrath has been confirmed in the Quran. There is a reason why Allah and the Prophet (hubp ) have cursed and declared war against those people who deal in Riba.

History from the Perspective of the Quran While discussing paper money and the reasons why gold was made to disappear, we need to go further back into history, then slowly advance towards the modern economic system and move forward towards 1945.We will discuss some historical incidents from the Quran; for instance the times of Isa (A) and Yusuf (A). Proofs fro m the Bible will also be discussed. It is important to give reference from the Bib le to understand how it became poss ible for the Jews to conquer the Christians. Today their civilization is known as the Judeo Christian civilizat ion. Basically the headquarters of the Zionists are in the midst of the Christian world. Historically however, the Jews and Christians always fought each other. The Christians have always persecuted the Jews, hated them, killed them and ousted them fro m their settlements. How then did the Jews manage to achieve the present state of affairs? Therefore our analysis will be a little historical, philos ophical as well as Qu ranic.

Prophet Yousuf (A) as the Finance Minister The story of Prophet Yousuf (A) is mentioned in great detail in the Quran and has beautiful dynamics which evince a direct connection to today‘s modern economics. Allah (swt) did not simply relate stories to us in the Quran; there is profound wisdom in them. If we do not learn lessons fro m the Quran today we will be lost, and the present predicament of the world will continue. 13
Shortening the story of Prophet Yousuf (A), we co me to the part
where he was released from prison and the ruler
of Egypt told him that he wished to honor him by bestowing upon him a position in the government. Yousuf (A) asked to be made in charge of the treasures of the land (management of the resources o f the nation). In modern terminology he asked for the post of the finance min ister. He wanted to manage the land‘s natural resources, like petroleum and other minerals. The argu ment he gave the king was that he was حّفٍظand ٌٍ ػي. These are the two fundamental qualities required in a person who manages the finance of a country. He should be ٌٍ ػي, i.e. a wise man having knowledge of how to manage the economic system and how to control the money supply. He also needs to be حّفٍظ, mean ing honest and trustworthy i.e. he should be protecting the resources and the rights of the people and not cheating them. If a person is given power to control the finances and economic system of a co untry and direct its money supply, then he can change the destiny of the society. Yousuf (A) was already the appointed Prophet of Allah, thus he had spiritual knowledge and could interpret dreams by the permission of Allah (swt). He interpreted the king‘s dream and found that they had a crisis at hand. Allah had made it possible for him to gain control of the nation‘s finances. He conducted these by making excellent agricultural and fiscal policies. His management of the money supply was so incredible that within seven years the nation became very prosperous and was ready for the coming s even years of drought and famine. Egypt was distributing grains to the whole region, thus its own food supply was secure, prosperity was remarkab le and people fro m far and away came to Egypt to replenish their food stores. It was known that Egypt had a generous emperor who was distributing grains to people, thus even though there was a proper king and law in the country, the actual power and control was in the hands of Yousuf (A). His brothers, who had tried to kill him when he was young, also came to h im without knowing who he really was and he treated them with utmost generosity.

There is a fundamental issue to be understood here. Why is this issue explained in the Quran? The truth is that the Zionist Jews work exactly opposite to this wisdom. If someone gains control of the complete money supply of a nation, it does not matter to him who is controlling or ruling the government or who is making the law. The power will unquestionably be in his hands. Yousuf (A) was wise, trustworthy and had spiritual guidance as he was Allah‘s prophet. When he used the information fro m Allah with understanding and commit ment, there was proper distribution and peace, prosperity and justice were established. Muslims should pay mo re attention to money management as there is a lot of emphasis on it in the religion of Islam.

The Jews in the Quran Allah describes some of their basic attributes in the Quran:
14
They kill the prophets unjustly.
َِٔ))َٗضُسِثَذْ ػَيٌٍَُِْٖ اى رِىَخُ َٗاىََْ عْنََْخُ َٗثَبءُٗا ثِغَضَتٍ ٍَِِ اىئَِ ۗ ذَٰىِلَ ثِؤٌََُّْٖ مَبُّ٘ا ٌَنّْفُسَُُٗ ثِآٌَبدِ اىي ((ٌَََُُٗٗقْزُيَُُ٘ اىَْجٍٍَِِِ ثِغٍَْسِ اىْحَقِ ۗ ذَٰىِلَ ثََِب ػَّصَْ٘ا َٗمَبُّ٘ا ٌَؼْزَ د ―They were covered with humiliation and misery: they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This is because they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This is because they rebelled and went on transgressing.‖ (2:61) They accumulate (hoard) and hold gold and silver . They write false books and call them A llah‘s word, when Allah never said such things. They lie and spread anarchy and chaos. They work on usurious dealings and claim them to be similar to trade. However Allah has permitted trade and prohibited usury.

There is another issue concerning them that Allah speaks of in the Quran which presents a very frightening picture that we Muslims don‘t direct our attention to. Allah says that there are some people among the People of the Book (a term used in the Quran to refer to the Jews and the Christians) who return the money entrust ed with them and others

who do not return it. When non-Jews entrust Jews with their money, the latter do not give it back as they believe it is the right of Jews to snatch away and never return the wealth of non-Jews.

But they tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it.‖ (Surah A l Imran: 75) The fundamental belief of the Jews is that they are the only chosen people, and they have a right on the life, property, dignity and everything else of the rest of the world. Killing them, robbing, cheating and ousting them fro m their land etc. are permitted for them. They are also arrogant as they consider themselves the only ones who will go to heaven. They claim that even if they go to hell they would be there only for a little while, and would then proceed to heaven. This is the superstitious belief that they have created for themselves. In reality however, they are the ones who have earned Allah‘s wrath and the curse of the angels and the believers because of their aforementioned acts.

Another of their attributes that Allah describes is that they spread wars and anarchy everywhere; and Allah does not like chaos (2:11). If one draws together all these attributes, a pattern becomes clear to see. This is the conspiracy which the Zionists and Jews have created in the last 200-300 years, and established their methods of deception and fraud. They have done this because of their pride and arrogance as they view themselves as the chosen people. They want to make a single g lobal emp ire and bring the whole world under that government. They in itiate war, murder and conflict around the world and are least bothered about the life, d ignity and property of non - Jews. They hoard gold in their Swiss banks and Federal Reserves and do not spend Allah‘s wealth in His cause. They spread instability and terror around the world through wars. These are all fundamental tactics that are required to maintain this regime of usury.

Riba in the Bible In the Good News Bible, issued by the standard biblical society, a very astonishing incident is mentioned in the New 16
Testament, Mark 11, Chapter Jerusalem . One thing to keep in mind here is that Isa (A) did not come with a new law, but came to re -establish the law of Musa (A), wh ich is the Old Testament. Isa (A) brought love with that law because the Jews had strayed away from those directives and started imp lementing their o wn ru les so strictly that the element of kindness had been lost. He brought forgiveness, love and compassion which were rare to find during those days. His image is of a soft, hu mble and kind person. The bible mentions that when Jesus went to Jerusalem to Bait al Muqaddas to worship, he was fiercely agitated to see a group of usury-minded Jews gathered around a table, dealing in us ury-related business in the place of worship. In the testament the word ‗Money Changer‘ has been used. In Islamic books they are called Money Lenders. All this was happening inside the worshipping house under the authority of the priests. Isa (A) was furious and told them that it was a place for worshipping Allah and they had turned it into a den of thieves. When the chief of the priests and rabbis heard this, they plotted to kill Isa (A). Thus the plan to kill him was made when Isa (A) attacked the system of interest and usury. Until that time they were tolerating him; but when he attacked the very foundation of their Kufr System, they decided that they had had enough of him. The priests knew the law and knew that taking interest was haraam. That was also the reason for Isa‘s (A) agitation. He was not as enraged with the violat ion of the other laws, but here, by taking usury, they had declared war against Allah and the prophets. This matter is not dealt with in the Quran only, in today‘s world, but was addressed by every prophet who came earlier as the system of Riba enslaves humankind and is the cause of all the destruction and violence that is taking place in the world today.
16
11:15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the
temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; 11:16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.11:17 And he taught, saying unto them: ‗Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves‘; 11:18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine.

When he attacked the foundation of their system, the high priest and the teachers of the law decided to kill Jesus. However they did not want to kill him themselves; they plotted to have him killed by the Ro man governor. In 17
Mark12 , it is mentioned that they sent a man to Isa (A) asking whether they should give taxes to the Ro man Emp ire or not. If he said that they should not give taxes, then the Ro man government would persecute him; and if he said they should give taxes, it went against their beliefs i.e. giving taxes to the government of disbelievers was against the Judaic belief system. This was a trap and Isa (A) understood this, and answered so wisely that the enemy was dumbfounded and no case was taken up against him. He said they should give the emperor what was his right and give Allah what was His right and did not say anything about the taxes. The Jews, however, did not stop at this. The point to be emphasized here is that, when the Jews saw that the doctrine of Isa (A) concerning usury was attacking their belief system, they used the then established political authority to attack it. This explains their characteristic of plotting to kill prophets. The same scenario is now being built all around the world. Basically the Jews and Zionists are controlling the money supply of the whole world with their base in Israel, and keeping the Federal Reserve and Bank of England in the forefront. Today they are using the American military power to destroy the Islamic ideologies just like they used the Roman Emp ire. This is because Islam is the only ideology that can free the whole world fro m this system of usury. Any other relig ion or political system does not stand a chance against their economic system of Cap italism and Riba. Islam is not just a religious ideology; it is also a political ideology which is a threat to them as it has an alternative economic system, a system far apart fro m their system of riba. The Muslim economic system as implemente d by Yousuf (A) is available to the Muslims. The Jews do not want to fight the Muslims themselves. They are making use of the Christians, by overpowering them, controlling their money supply and changing their policies. Reiterating what was said before; we need to learn lessons fro m history as they are following exact ly the same pattern again.
17
12:13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.12:14 And when they were come, they say unto him; ‗M aster, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person o f men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?‘ 12:15 ‗Shall we give, or shall we not give?‘ But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them; ‗Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it.‘ 12:16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them; ‗Whose is this image and superscription?‘ And they said unto him; ‗Caesar's.‘12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them; ‗Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.‘ And they marveled at him.

They are making the Muslims fight the Christians. The West has been enslaved and it too does not know what is happening. A few Jews are at its neck, and it is completely obliv ious . The Jews and the Christians clearly knew who plotted to kill Isa (A). The Christians say he was crucified and we, Muslims, hold the belief that he was raised by Allah into the heavens.

15th -17th Centuries and the Protestant Church If we look through the entire Christian history we will never find that they ever forgave the Jews. The folk literature of a country always represents its culture, belief system and the collective mentality. Be ing called a Jew was abuse. Shakespeare, the most popular writer of the British Emp ire, wrote stories which clea rly showcase the popular opinion concerning Jews. The most famous was that of the money-lender, Shylock, in The Merchant of Venice. His character was such that he demanded a pound of flesh fro m the protagonist because the latter was unable to pay back the loan. Jews all around the world hate Shakespeare because of this depiction of Shylock in the play. The same is the case in ‗The Jew of Malta‘. Christian literature always demonstrated hatred for the Jews. The terms ‗Interestdriven money lenders‘ and ‗Jews‘ were synonymous. The Ro man Catholic Church was naturally the sworn enemy of the Jews. The Zionist Jews started taking steps for survival because they had to stay in the Christian world. One of the methods they used was changing their appearance, like the Freemasonic cult did. They appeared to be Christians and portrayed themselves as Christian but in reality they were Jews. They made large commun ity centers , such as those started by the Templar and Hospitallar knights, and through these they penetrated into the Christian communit ies. This pattern has been followed fro m the time of the Crusades. They then started creating problems and divisions within the Christian commun ities. There was much incompetence in the church which had increased over a period of time. The Popes and clergymen had become corrupt. They were hoarding wealth and not spending it in the cause of Allah. Witch hunts , inquisitions, suppressions etc. were recurrently carried out by the church. Here the Jews got a chance to create problems within the church. Rebellions against the Catholic Church were already there, such as the Protestant movement of Mart in Luther King. Due to the divisions within the co mmunity the Christians suffered several losses. (a) The Christian church divided into two camps and so the influence of the Roman Catholic Church weakened and England was deeply affected. (b) Their b iggest loss was when the King of England accepted the Protestant belief and Protestantism became the official relig ion. It was the Jews who introduced the concept of keeping politics and religion separate. When the strong hold of the Ro man Catholic Church broke and the Protestant Church
32
Economic Terroris m
started gaining power, the Jews encircled the system of the Brit ish Empire and the kings were trapped in their conspiracy. The Bank of England, wh ich emerged soon after the Jews started influencing the system, was a Zionist enterprise like the Federal Reserve. Therefore by the 16th and 17th centuries there was chaos all over Europe, as it was a period when the influence of the Roman Catholic Church was declining in England and that of the Protestant Church was rising. Polit ical power was coming into the hands of the Protestants. Amidst all th is chaos, the Zionists were gaining on the government system i.e. the emperor. Their objective was to influence the emperor and bring him to their side. They achieved this by the year 1680, and the empire and the protestant church were completely under their sway by then. They started an official bank with the sanctioned authorizat ion of the King an d called it the Bank of England. It was a private Jewish enterprise with in the Christian co mmunit y. As soon as they got a chance they gave loans of thousands of gold coins to the emperor to build military campaigns.

Rothschild18 The Rothschild family is an international banking and finance dynasty of German Jewish origin. It established operations across Europe, and was ennobled by the Austrian and British governments. It was said that the sun never sets on the British Empire. It was quoted fro m Rothschild
19
who said that ‗I control the Brit ish Emp ire on which the sun never sets
because its wealth is with me‘. During 1689 to 1815 these Jewish bankers had driven the British into a debt of 1 billion British pounds i.e. 1 billion gold coins. It appeared as though the British Empire was ruling and colonizing the world over- but the British Emp ire had a debt of 1 billion gold coins towards this bank (appro ximately 850 million – 1000 million pounds today) a phenomenal figure during those times, and it could never pay them back. The Ban k of England had a law passed in the British Empire that no one could keep their gold with them. They had to give it to the bank which issued the currency for them. Slowly the gold went through the hands of different Jews finally reaching the hands of Rothschild, who was a German Jew with sons in Paris, Vienna, Austria, Germany, Hamburg, Frankfurt and London.
18
The Rothschilds claim that they are Jewish, when in fact they are Khazars. They are from a country called Khazaria, which occupied the land locked between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea which is now predominantly occupied by Georgia. The reason the Rothschilds claim to be Jewish is that the Khazars, under the instruction of the King, converted to the Jewish faith in 740 A.D. but of course that did not include converting their Asiatic M ongolian genes to the genes of the Jewish people. The wealthiest bloodline in the world bar none and the leader of the Ashkenazi Jews in the world today is the Rothschild family . As you will see in the timeline, the Rothschilds have obtained this position through lies, manipulation and murder. The Rothschilds have been in control of the world for a very long time, their tentacles reaching into many aspects of our daily lives, as is documented in the timeline. You will find that approximately 90% of people in the world today who call themselves Jews are actually Khazars, or as they like to be known, Ashkenazi Jews.

Back in 1815, Nathan M ayer Rothschild makes his famous statement, "I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply."

He had sent his sons all over Europe and made banking houses everywhere. A revealing point to note here is that the Battle of Waterloo was funded by the Rothschild family; both sides of the war were financed by them. Since the establishment of Bank of England in 1684 and 250 years after that, it remained purely a private enterprise owned by Jews. This is an unbelievable aspect as just one family was the major shareholder; there were other Jews involved, but the Rothschilds owned 90% of it. During this time they gave loans to all the countries in Europe and caused wars amongst them. They made phenomenal profits during the Napoleonic Battle of Waterloo. Another notable feature is that the intelligence unit of the Rothschilds was more powerful and efficient than the intelligence unit of the government. One of the most famous economic magazines known as ‗The Economist Magazine‘, which also has an intelligence unit ‗The Economist Intelligence Un it‘ (EIU), is owned by the Rothschilds. With the help of their intelligence unit they caused the London stock market to cras h. The news of the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo reached Rothschilds 24 hours earlier than it did the London government. As Rothschilds knew earlier that the Duke of Wellington had won, they came to the stock market and started selling the shares
20
of the Brit ish government. People thought that the Duke
had lost and everyone started selling their shares. However on the other side, a Rothschild agent was buying up the same. The result was that when the news of the victory reached England , Rothschild had already made 5 million pounds in one day. Due to financial interests most of the world‘s countries were supporting the Bank of England and the Brit ish Emp ire, but they were despised in America. A merica had gained freedo m fro m England by victory in the War of Independence they fought against the Brit ish. Everybody in America knew that the chaos in the Brit ish Empire was being spread by Rothschilds. Everyone in America hated them and abused them verbally. Rothschilds therefore put another family in the forefront and sent it to America to establish their banking interests there. The world did not know this. After almost 50 to 60 years people came to know that that family was actually working for Rothschild s and that it was not an independent banking house. That family was JP Morgan.

In 1836 the American President Andrew Jackson understood their game in A merica . He removed all the government assets from the Second American Bank (wh ich was run by the Jews and which later became th e Federal Ban k) and deposited them in the government banks. As a result the Second American Ban k started collapsing. The bankers there immediately sent a message for help to the Bank of England and the latter straight away stopped acknowledging all the assets of the American government, including their treasury bonds, bills, assets, promissory notes etc. This led to a huge economic collapse in America in 1837 known as the Economic Panic of 1837. The Rothschilds managed the collapse in America simply by not accepting her promissory notes, bills and bonds. Rothschild controlled the Bank of England and they had a front bank in A merica. When Andrew Jackson understood this, they punished him by causing the American Economy to collapse. They replayed the same scenario in 1857, and caused The Great Panic of 1857. The aim here is to understand that when one family controls the complete money supply of a nation they can destroy the whole nation simply by deposits and withdrawals . A fundamental element of our deen (the religion of Islam) is that money should not be confined to a few hands. It should be circulated via investment and spending. The best way of spending is doing it in the way of Allah. One amazing feature is that Islam does not involve income tax but savings tax (Zakah) instead. People are taxed only if and when they accumulate wealth and not when they earn or spend it. However, the system of the Jews is exactly the opposite. If all the types of taxes currently in existence are abolished, the human race would be free. These were the stages in which the Jews established their banking interests and caused wars in Europe and America. There was no bank in Eu rope which did not have assets belonging to the Jews. The Federal Reserve Ban k, though an American bank, was indirectly controlled by Rothschilds from the Ban k of England. 53% of the shares belonged to Rothschilds. The Bank of England was nationalized in 1946 by the government, but only on paper. All its policies and assets, even the gold assets, are under the Rothschilds. The ownership of the bank is with Rothschilds even today. They do not let the gold leave their hands. The Federal Reserve‘s gold is also with them. Even government policies are controlled by the Rothschild family.

The Role of the House of Windsor The Jews had separated State from Relig ion and the Protestant Church that developed later was initially very weak. Hence they quickly exerted influence over the emperor of the time and from then on never loosened their grip. Even 21
now the House of Windsor
has very close relations with the Jews . They also have family relations. They work so
secretly that we don‘t see the Rothschilds in the front much. They don‘t show themselves or appear before the media or on television. Nevertheless, the truth of the matter is that the world is controlled by them. They are very active even now. In 1905 a secret document was stolen fro m the International Jewish Congress and published. It is known as ―Protocols of 22
the Learned Elders of Zion‖ . For almost 100 years the Jews have been arguing, trying to prove that this book is a lie and they are refusing any connections with it whatsoever. This protocol however is an actual document and a game plan on the basis of which the Zionists can take control of the world; control finances, destroy nations and enslave them. They have discussed

The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when the name was adopted as the British Royal Family's official name by a proclamation by King George V, replacing the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

each step on how to conquer the world. Rothschilds had a strong hand in writ ing this book. In 1783 when the Rothschilds were developing in Frankfurt, they wrote an init ial protocol. Along with the Zionists
23
they planned
how to take control of the world. Over a period of time they developed it into a standard operating procedure, or a standard ‗manual‘. Th is will neither be found as a textbook nor be available in any bookshop, nor even discussed in the media. People gathered whatever bits and pieces are available of it and tried to print it and bring it to the public, but whenever it came out they made it d isappear. The tactics of world control are clearly mentioned in this book. Their agenda includes: Weakening the existing governments; breaking their authority by forwarding terms like democracy, freedom, liberty, equality. Creat ing confusion and anarchy within existing governments in the name of freedom of exp ression, freedom of choice, freedom o f med ia. Justifying their reasons and causing a storm of disorder and revolutions among the people so that those who scrutinize the situation will not be heard by anyone. Stifling chosen emperors and governments. Corrupting and misleading the youth, spreading sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling etc. and intoxicat ing nations so that they do not understand the game plan. Disfiguring and redefining the system through the media. Controlling the food and money supplies . According to them, killing people, snatching their money and violating their life and dignity is permitted as they are non- Jews. Destruction and anarchy will therefore be spread around the world until a global

Adam Weishaupt officially completed his organization of the Illuminati on M ay 1 of the year 1776. The purpose of the Illuminati was to divide the goyim (all non-Jews) through political, economic, social, and religious means. The opposing sides were to be armed and incidents were to be provided in order for them to fight amongst themselves, destroy national government s, destroy religious institutions and eventually destroy each other. Weishaupt soon infiltrated the Continental Order of Freemasons with this Illuminati doctrine and established lodges of the Grand Orient to be their secret headquarters. This was all under the orders and finance of M ayer Amschel Rothschild and the concept has spread and is followed within M asonic Lodges worldwide to the present day. Weishaupt also recruited 2,000 paid followers including the most intelligent men in the fields of arts and letters, education, science, finance, and industry.

authority is established, the base of which will be in Jerusalem in Bait al Muqaddas. The world will be controlled fro m there. Th is is the philosophical foundation that has been discussed in their protocol. Now co ming back to the year 1913, the Federal Reserve had been giving loans to the American government wh ich the government had to pay back with interest. The government had no other option so it started taxing the public to finance this interest. In the same year, 1913, the IRS was established (Internal Revenue Serv ice) and income tax was levied on the A merican people. There is no tax structure in the world that promotes harsher suppression than income tax; it is not justified before Allah or before mankind. We will not find any rule in Islam that dictates the imposition of inco me tax. A person works hard day and night and earns Rs.10, 000 to take to his family; but the government snatches Rs.800-1000 away fro m that wage on the basis of income tax. There is no place for this tax in Allah‘s deen. Six months after this law came into practice, the First World War began. The objectives that they achieved with this war are incredible : They destroyed the Islamic emp ire . The English got control of the Bait al Muqaddas which then became the foundation for building Israel. The Balfour Declaration was made. The whole of Eu rope became debt ridden to the Federal Reserve.
The Balfour declaration

was the letter written to the Jews pro mising to give them Palestine to make a Jewish state,
Israel (Figure 3). The British government addressed this letter to Rothschild s. Fro m this, one should realize the power of the Rothschilds. They are the head of international Zionism representing the Jews and Zionists and are characters of immoral jurisdiction. In 1929, they conducted another money control experiment and the whole of A merica crashed and went into depression. It is known as the Great Wall Street Crash or Black Thursday. Again, they did this just by controlling the

money supply. They removed their shares from the stock markets by manipulation and created a false recession. They did the same in 1837, in 1857 and have been sporadically doing this throughout history. These were their experiments, which allowed them to analyze the fact that, by controlling the money supply, they could destroy nations. All this deception and chaos is historical fact and a Samiri design to spread fitnah. These are not the ways of normal human beings but the evil machinations and nefarious designs of the devil (Satan).

Did the west not know? A logical question that anyone would ask here is why this fraud was not visible to the West. On the contrary it was very visible. Fro m the time these Jews had appeared and started settling in A merica, the founding fathers had been contemplating whether or not they should allow them to put down roots there, and let them gain so much power so as to direct the money supply in the society. This was because they had started establishing banks and controlling the money supply as soon as they had arrived. The settlers were orig inally fro m Eu rope and had migrated to America. They knew the behavioral traits of the Jews. The Jews were a strong community, but they co-operated in their wars, in the building and development of their countries and other productive activities. In spite of this they were very concerned about letting the Jews settle among them. In 1936 President Andrew Jackson referred to the Jewish bankers as a ―Den of vipers and thieves‖ which were the same words that Isa (A) used for them in Mark: 11. Abraham Lincoln too had known their agenda well and tried to stop them. As a matter of fact both presidents, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, tried so rigorously that they had said that if God commanded them they would pull the Jews out from the roots and force them out of America. Jackson was unable to carry this out and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by them. The leaders of A merica d id know about the Jews.

Henry Ford Ford is a very famous name, and he is considered to be one of the greatest American heroes even today. Half the automobiles running in America by 1910-1912 were manufactured by Ford. Thousands of people worked for him. He was well known and well respected. The biggest automobile co mpany that was established in the US towards the end of 19th century was the Ford Company and it belonged to Henry Ford. He wrote an excellent book called ‗The 25
International Jew‘ . He identified the Jews to be the driving force behind all the chaos and destruction that was becoming widespread around the world. The ir control of the A merican government, the Soviet Bo lshevik revolution, the French revolution; their control over media and the entire world; their scheme of controlling the banking and financial systems; their control over the education system, the medical profession, the legal profession etc. was very clearly visible to Henry Ford and he presented it to the world in this book. He even launched an expedition to prevent the First World War and went around the country trying to somehow stop the war. Henry Ford was a farsighted and intellectual man, which enabled him to understand the goals behind the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the IRS and the reasons behind the World War. Jews around the world hate Henry Ford very much, even today. They never miss a chance to insult him and attack h is dignity. He was known to be a good Christian and a good American. He tried to break their exp loitative economic system. He gave the proposal for minimu m wages, and eradicated exploitation fro m the Ford Co mpany. He respected workers and distributed the money equally and justly amongst them. He abolished the system of interest that was being forced upon the workers, exposed it and wrote the book. This book is very rare. This proves that the people of America knew about the Jews.

Ron Paul26 This year we have witnessed much election campaigning by Barack Obama and John McCain. Very few people, however, know about the third presidential candidate, Ron Paul. He is a good Christian and a good American. He is neither a Zionist nor a freemason. He init iated a revolution among the middle class Americans concerning Zionists, the Federal Reserve Bank, IRS, gold reserves, paper money, fake currency etc, that have become the main features in A merican society at this point in time. The main theme of his presidential campaign concerned these issues. If one was not familiar with him, one would think that he was a Muslim; because he discourses on those very issues that concern Muslims. He spoke about pegging the American dollar to gold, abolishing the Federal Reserve, fake currency and income tax, changing the Zionist foreign policy, remov ing the military fro m the Middle East, and taking care of America‘s own matters themselves etc. This resulted in a black-out of Ron Paul fro m the western med ia. He could convey his ideas only through certain internet sites but was banned fro m the mainstream med ia. Generally, the Americans as a nation are not ‗bad‘. They have been deceived and controlled by the media; so much so that the scenario shows an entire nation of 250 million people being driven by 4 million Jews, who are constantly at their necks. They are being used as slaves. They have been cheated, weakened, enslaved and made helpless; but people around the world perceive them to be living a satisfied and lu xu rious life. The American government is bankrupt now as it does not have any money of its own. Its debts are so high that it is impossible to pay them back. Generally, if a family is in a debt of $100,000 and its expenses are $10,000, it is called bankruptcy. The family cannot pay back the loan by any means. This is the condition of the American government. Some people kne w this, but could not do anything about it.

The existing economic system will have to commit suicide as an outcome of its own practices. When the Zionists conducted their experiment and took the gold from the A merican people in 1933
27
and gave them useless paper
money, the people did not reflect on it much; they did as they were told and accepted the money. As mentioned before, the Zionists devalued the currency by 41% the following year. Only a strong and oppressive government , taking advantage of the less capable, can devalue a currency by its own choice without adhering to any rules. These experiments were carried out before World War II.

The Objectives of the World Wars After World War I the Zionists were able to destroy the Ottoman Emp ire and redra w the map of the M iddle East. Whilst the Ottoman Emp ire was still in existence the map was very different; the empire extended fro m Armenia to West Africa and Eu rope and down to Medina and Yemen. There was one Islamic Kingdom. The Muslim states which we see on the atlas today were made by breaking the Ottoman Empire. The new map was drawn by Winston Churchill, along with the A mericans and the French, on a piece of tissue paper! The other objective of World War I was achieved in the form of the Balfour Declaration. This was the letter the British government wrote to Rothschilds to let the Zionists, who were scattered around the world, know that the British Government was going to acquire the state of Israel for them. The Brit ish then invaded Palestine and established their rule there; but their job had not been completed yet. The Zionists also managed to immerse the entire American nation in debt by giving it loans to fight the war. Fro m 1901 to 1945 the Zionists were busy spreading destruction all over the world and rearranging the system. They needed control of the American economy, the global economy and wanted to establish an Israeli state. That was the launch pad they had begun preparing for long before World War I. The British had offered the Zionists other countries to establish their state in; but the Jews insisted on creating the State of Israel in Palestine and making it their centre. They wanted Masjid al Aqsa destroyed and King Solo mon‘s temple built in its place. Only then would they be able to establish their so-called rule, which would be follo wed by the advent of the Dajjal. However all these ideological game plans were not fully achieved in the First World War. The Jews needed one more war. This clearly correlates to one of their attributes mentioned by the Quran; that they cause wars everywhere (2:204206). In the process of bringing into being the state of Israel, they were killing innocent people. 50 million people were killed in World War I and II. They destroyed the whole world, seized the gold and put it in the Federal Reserve. Through the two world wars therefore, the Zionists launched the State of Israel, caused the Ottoman Caliphate to collapse, broke up Muslim nations into smaller states, as well as immersed all o f Europe in debt.

The Signing of the Bretton Woods Agreement After devaluing the dollar and then pegging it to gold, the Zionists managed to bring 80% of the world‘s gold into their hands. The currencies of all those other countries were literally of no use. Conditions were so bad that one month‘s entire income was spent on buying a single loaf of bread. People in all those war torn countries used to burn currency notes to keep themselves warm because wood was expensive and currency was cheap. This is what becomes of paper money when it does not have gold backing. The mo ment the economy becomes unstable, no one uses these paper currencies, but gold continues to be used. For examp le, in Afghanistan the bill for a meal for four to five individuals came up to 1, 000, 000 units of Afghani currency. If one wished to exchange Rs.250, 000 into Afghani currency, one needed of donkeys to carry the sacks of the notes received. This is exactly what was happening in Europe during World War II, as they had no gold. The whole of Europe had surrendered to the Federal Reserve and Bank of England, who were controlling the money supply and the world‘s gold.
In the Bretton Woods Agreement
28
it was decided that the currencies of the world that do not have gold behind them
would be made into floating currencies . Their rates would be fixed on the basis of the dollar, as the dollar was
28
The delegates at Bretton Woods reached an agreement known as the Bretton Woods Agreement to establish a postwar
international monetary system of convertible currencies, fixed exchange rates and free trade. To facilitate these objectives, the agreement created two international institutions: the International M onetary Fund (IM F) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank). The intention was to provide economic aid for reconstruction of postwar Europe. The Bretton Woods Agreement was also aimed at preventing currency competition and promoting monetary cooperation among nations. Under the Bretton Woods system, the IMF member countries agreed to a system of exchange rates that could be adjusted within defined parities with the U.S. dollar or, with the agreement of the IM F, changed to correct a fundamental disequilibrium in the balance of payments.

backed by gold i.e. 35 dollars an ounce. The rest of the currencies would be floating; for examp le 4 pounds for 1 dollar or 10 francs for 1 dollar. These were their floating rates. The Zionists spread this system all around the world. This resulted in their giving loans to the whole of Europe. European countries were in debt to the Federal Reserve and their currencies had become floating currencies. Due to the procedural system of the Federal Reserve Bank, it should be noted that the American government‘s debt was also increasing, because it was taking loans from the Federal Reserve and giving them to Europe so that it could rebuild itself. The Federal Reserve, being a private bank, was giving loans to the American government, and the smaller banks that were under the Federal Reserve Bank (Jews), were giving loans to the American people. The Bretton Woods Agreement culminated with the formation of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the United Nations; which were followed by the creation of Israel. It can clearly be said that the UN is a complete Zion ist institution. It has been formed in accordance with The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. This is an experiment to make a global government and all member nations would be its provinces. Whatever good we hear about it is eyewash, an corruption and a drama. If we take note, the UN has not resolved any major conflicts or prevented or stopped any wars. It has however had a major ro le in brewing wars. The one and only nation which is least bothered about the UN is Israel. In the previous war in Lebanon, they bombed the UN co mpound and the UN could not do anything about that. They massacred Palestinians in the UN compound and it still did not do anything. Whatever delayed action there was came on ly to establish the legitimacy of the UN. Our Prophets (peace be upon them all), our scholars and our elders have always advised us to pray to God to keep us away fro m loans. If we live on loans the end is in misery. People take loans only if they have no other means. Through the media and the education and banking systems, these malicious people have created and established such a system that the entire American nation, whether rich or poor, lives its life on loans. What is the meaning of using a credit card? If you are rich- even a billionaire - it means that you are taking loans from a Jew whenever you carry out trade. When we buy something with a credit card and then return the money to the Jew, we return it with interest. Even if two Muslims carry out trade with each other in Medina and the payment is made via credit card, a Jew sitting in the US takes his share fro m it. Th is is the economy of the credit card.

Threats After World War II in particular, the Zionists started giving cheap credit to the American nation. They developed a completely new culture by proposing that all ventures should be made through loans. The people were encouraged to do everything on credit; fro m buying a house or a car to gaining an education. The situation was such that every single Ame rican was in debt. When in debt, people inevitably have to pay interest. It was made simpler for them, as there was no hurry and they could pay back the loans in installments . Fro m the poor man to the billionaire, everyone in the US was in debt. Th is increased so much that their debts exceeded their income and they became bankrupt. By the time President Kennedy came to power in 1963, the backbone of the A merican government was breaking and it was becoming unstable. It did not have the means to pay even the principal amount. The A merican people were paying interest to the smaller banks and the American government was paying interest to the Federal Reserve Bank. The government was compensating for this through the different types of taxes imposed on the people. These immo ral Jews were pilfering and gathering money fro m all corners and making people‘s lives miserable. A prominent incident took place in 1963; Kennedy took a stand against the Federal Reserve and passed a law which is still a part of the American constitution. This law states that the American government will issue its currency by itself and will not take any more loans from the Federal Reserve. It was a huge step which shook the Zionist economic system. He also said that the currency issued by the American government would be b acked by gold. He ordered the issuance of gold and silver coins. They were known as Kennedy dollars and Kennedy half dollars. These two steps brought complete destruction to the Freemasonic Federal Reserve economic system. A storm of confusion arose within this ―den of thieves and conmen‖. Another issue that arose was that American dollars were being sent to all the economies of the world, which were gathering these dollars and then buying gold with them fro m the Federal Reserve. These were not good developments for the Zionists. Their gold was diminishing. The 80% o f the world gold that they had snatched during World War II started going back. This was unacceptable to the Zionists.
49

When the American government started issuing its own currency, without the help of the Federal Reserve, its debts started decreasing. This was the sole reason for Kennedy‘s assassination. It was not the communist Lee Harvey Oswald who killed him. Whoever went against the Federal Reserve and the Zionists was silenced. This was also the reason for the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the violation of Andrew Jackson ‘s dignity, and many such similar incidents. Even Ron Paul was headed that way. If he had been elected he would most certainly have been killed. They punished the Kennedys so severely that no -one from the Kennedy family could come back into power again. People see these as tragedies of the US government, but in reality they are not merely that. It is the Zionists that crush such families and institutions. The Kennedys were good Americans who talked about calling the army back fro m Vietnam, and spoke on the same lines as Ron Paul today. The law about the government issuing its own currency is still there but no one uses it- they are all well aware of what happened to Kennedy; it is an open secret. The Freemasonic Cult is so strong that no one dares talk about it.
To stop the gold from leaving the Federal Reserve, the Zionists had a law passed in 1971
29
which stated that the
dollar would have no gold behind it either, and it too would be a floating currency. The situation became such that they could issue as much currency as they wanted as there was no gold backing it. The centre issuing the currency turned into a mere printing press. They devised a system to decide how much paper money they would print. Through the Fractional Reserve system they started pulling out even the paper money from the economy, and began electronic currency by giving credits to people. Today, the world‘s economy is beginning to run on electronic currency. Paper is practically vanishing. The fitrah (natural instinct) of man cannot accept a system in wh ich currency does not exist, to be a stable economic system. If any e-currency system collapses anywhere, due to the malfunction of satellites, crashing of computers etc. the very manner in which the entire world‘s economy would crash presents a terrify ing scenario. Throughout the process of converting the world economy to the e-system, Rothschilds, the Federal Reserve and the Zionists were

From 1946 to the early 1970s, the Bretton Woods system made fixed currencies the norm; however, in 1971, the United States government abandoned the gold standard, so that the US dollar was no longer a fixed currency, and most of the world's currencies followed suit.

Their wealth Today the wealth of the Rothschilds is estimated to be 500 trillion dollars , whereas the current debt of the American government amounts to 75 trillion dollars. We are reminded of the narrative of Qaroon in the Quran, when Musa (A) asks him to be good towards the rest of creation, as Allah had been good to him. Qaroon answers that Allah had not done him any favors and he had achieved everything by himself; and thus Allah punished him.

Allah only knows how much treasure he had. Such is the state of the Rothschilds now. They have accumulated and hoarded stockpiles of gold and more than half the wealth of the world is said to be in the hands of Jews like the Rothschild s. If such is the status of their power; and the media, the education system and control of the money supply are all in their hands; then even if the entire A merican nation knows about it, no one can do anything against them. The aim of the Jews is not to empower A merica but to take advantage of it and use it like a mad elephant, to spread chaos. They are making the lives of the American people miserable. They have 250 million hard working American slaves, who spend their lives working hard to earn money and then lavishly spend it all; they have been made addicted to this 52

lifestyle. Whatever they save thereafter goes into the interest paid to the interest-driven Jews. This is the condition of American people now. This is the government of bankers. They are now taking loans fro m Japan, Ch ina, Saudi Arabia etc. to finance their wars, as they have already taken too many loans from the Federal Reserve. They are trying to take them fro m other nations at cheap rates to somehow sustain themselves. It is a bankrupt economy, a bankrupt government and a bankrupt nation. Fuel used to be almost free in their economy. They discovered oil around the 1860s. Till the 1970s i.e. for 110 years they kept the price of oil less than 3 dollars per barrel. The oil producing nations at the time did not have any industrial output, but the West did. They needed the fuel that was coming out of Muslim states. Therefore when oil was practically free , and they had unlimited credit, their economy boomed. The American society primarily became a consumer society. As they were issuing a lot of currency, whatever they bought from t he world was like free purchase; and whatever money the Muslim nations acquired by selling their oil was re-deposited in American banks and the Jews charged interest on it. Fro m one hand they were paying the Muslim nations and fro m the other they were taking the money back in the form of interest. All the Muslim nations reserved their money in dollars because trade of fuel was being carried out in dollars.
53

Where is it heading from here? The currency changed from gold to paper currency, to checks, to credit cards and is now taking up the form of debit cards. If we simply take the case of the American economy, we see that it is almost comp letely a dig ital econo my now. Everyone is debt ridden there. They have almost stopped printing paper money. Almost 15 t rillion dollars are in electronic currency. They do not have real currency. They are now encouraging people to use debit cards. When one uses debit cards for purchase, a specific amount is reduced from one‘s account during the transaction, and thus no currency is required. Let us now look at this frightening picture fro m a broader view, to reveal their malevolent progress. One of the issues with credit cards and debit cards is that whenever they are used, in any part of the world, a co mputer identifies the actual location of the transaction. For instance, if one goes to any country in the world and checks into a hotel, drinks a cup of coffee in a coffee shop then returns home and buys clothes, books or airline tickets etc. the Zionist Freemasons are well a ware of every move he makes. These cards make it easy for them to track the person. The eye on the one dollar bill is called the Eye of Lucifer, and it means that they are keeping watch on every movement of people around the world. You will find this symbol in many places in the west; on street walls, substations etc. They are reminding everyone that they are watching and monitoring them every where. Their ultimate goal is to create a global empire; a global government where each and ev ery person is their slave, with every action tracked. No one in the world would be able to operate outside this system. They have achieved most of this through credit cards and debit cards. They have not only made the wh ole nation debt ridden, but have also created their own intelligence system, tracking every move. The location of an individual can be tracked and all his transactions are recorded. Nothing is hidden fro m them.

chips. The chip is an electronic circuit that is
implanted in the body. They have floated the idea that we do not have to carry debit cards, and instead they will implant a chip into any part of the body, like the hands etc. through a simp le procedure. This will be connected to the databases of various civic and government offices .

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. The technology requires some extent of cooperation of an RFID reader and an RFID tag. An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose o f identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader. See also http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/169

Is this implanting voluntary? Most of the people in the West will accept anything that has been advertised and is attractive. They believe in the med ia so much that they regard it as law fro m the Supreme Being. The Zionists have now launched a campaign to facilitate and encourage voluntary imp lantation of the chips into individuals‘ bodies, and people are getting it done. The campaigns are based on the idea that after imp lanting these chips , wherever in the world they go and buy things, check into hotels or travel, people will not have to pay anything or go through any procedures . Authorities will just screen the chip, obtain whatever information they require and people will have no problems. This would be true freedom. Due to increasing incidents of terrorism, people can also be tracked for security reasons. This is the actual basis for their market ing process. People are being made slaves of the system a under pretence of acquiring security and freedom. The West has started applying this system on criminals without taking their choice into account, claiming that they are dangerous and must be tracked. People are being given tags like a dog on leash is given tags. They are installing sensors in different places in cities , like ―eyes‖, and whenever a person passes through those locations (like airports, railway stations etc.) it will be automatically documented that this person passed through this area at a specified date and time. Their next operational procedure will be that whenever they wish to apprehend a person, they will simply switch off h is chip electronically, and the person will not be able to use his driving license or his bank accounts; he will not be able to travel or to check into any hotel. When this person passes by the sensors, he will be seized then and there. The scenario will be such that the whole town will beco me a huge prison for everyone and no one will be able to move around with their own will. This is not a hypothetical scenario or a story. They have started implanting these tags in people in the West in the name of security, mobility, and freedom. They did the same with gold earlier. In the name of security, they took away the gold fro m the people and the market, and introduced paper money. They have used the same theme here in the name o f freedom and security. The experiment has been started in the West but not yet all around the world. An additional property of this e-tag is that it can also be tracked by the satellite system. This means wherever in the world an individual goes, he or she can be
56

tracked. Can you imag ine a greater plan to enslave humanity than this? The era in which we live now has been mentioned by our Prophet (hubp ) in a hadeeth in the section of Bab al Fitan (Chapter of Turbulence). Fitan would be entering our houses as if it were raining. It is such an unprecedented crisis that we understand only now why our Prophet (hubp ) and the earlier Prophets (A) warned us of the turmo il of the Dajjal.
The whole of the Western society is being transformed into a concentration camp. The Zionists will be ab le to control the people in such a way that they will not be able to move. Alongside this they have given the Americans a very good lifestyle, so that people believe in their capitalist system. The Zionists have lead people to believe that they will be able to get wonderful lifestyles if they implement the capitalist system. People work hard day and night to earn their bread and pay off their interests, and then look with aspiration at the millionaires and the system presented by the West. However, even within the West this system is getting out of control.

The Western Economic Scenario The Zionists have distributed so many dollars into the countries of the world that the bank notes alone amount to 4 trillion dollars. Even if they try till the end of time they will not be able to pay off their loans. They have already become slaves of the Rothschilds and the Zionist bankers. Everyone knows that the US government has large quantities of loans pending, and that it has become bankrupt. All those countries that have kept their foreign exchange reserves in dollars will incur heavy losses as a result. If the level of debt on an individual goes beyond a certain limit, no one will give any additional loans to that individual as he will be incapable of returning them. The situation is now thus that countries like China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Kingdoms etc. who have billions of dollars are hesitating to give loans to the US government. As a matter of fact they are planning to convert their foreign exchange reserves from dollars to other currencies , or de-peg them fro m the dollar. If this happens then the dollars will start returning to the US. The result would be a total co llapse of the economy, and high in flat ion. The dollar is crashing and everyone is aware of that.
59

The AMERO The solution that Zionists have developed to resolve this situation is to make a North American Union which would constitute of Canada, North America and Mexico, and to abandon the dollar as a currency. The implementation of this plan is already in process and coins have also started being issued. It goes beyond the Free Trade Agreement
31
that exists
between these countries. A North American government would be formed and the dollar would be abandoned. This means that they will not take the responsibility for all those dollars that are being kept as foreign exchange reserves, 32
and they would become just useless papers. They have designed a new currency known as the AMERO , like the Euro. Europe has become a single bloc and introduced a new currency. Similarly the A mero will be launched and the dollar will be abandoned. Everything has been planned and they are just waiting for the right time. When all the dollars start coming back to A merica, the dollar will genuinely crash and there will be extensive inflation. The dollar will beco me uneconomical even for the A mericans themselves. The cost of living has risen enormously for the Americans and the value of the dollar is falling. They import everything fro m the wo rld over and their loans have risen so much that they are incapable of paying them back. Th is is bankruptcy. Imagine the condition of the world economy when the US abandons the dollar and the Amero becomes their currency. The world is moving away even from paper currency now. It is a digital economy with mere economic signals. Therefore in an economic size of 15 trillion dollars, only 1 trillion dollars are in the form of bank notes - 14
31
Free trade is a system in which the trade of goods and services between or within countries flows unhindered by government imposed restrictions. 32
The North American Currency Union is a theorized economic and monetary union of the three principal countries of North America, namely Canada, the United States, and M exico. Implementation would probably involve the three countries giving up their current currency units (U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, and M exican peso) and adopting a new one, created specifically for this purpose. The hypothetical currency for the union is most often referred to as the amero. The concept is modeled on the common European Union currency (the euro), and it is argued to be a natural extension of the North American Free Trade A greement (NAFTA) and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). Conspiracy theorists contend that the governments of the United States, Canada, and M exico are already taking steps to implement such a currency, as part of a "North American Union (NAU)".

trillion dollars are just digital currency (electronic signals). This is a very frightening image of the economic system that they have been building since the last 400 years. People are unable to understand why oil prices and gold prices are skyrocketing. The reason for this is that those who are controlling the system know that the dollar is going to crash and are therefore removing all their liquid assets and investing them in oil. The future is in oil. Oil also is at least a real commodity or real wealth. They know that they are on the verge of a world disaster and so are investing in gold and oil. For this reason their prices are going sky high, even though the production and consumption of oil is as before. They are accumulating real wealth for themselves and have immersed the rest of the world in a digital economy. They have prepared themselves and the system to such an extent that even if the American economy and the dollar crash, they will simp ly make it junk paper and start a new currency with a new value on the basis of the North American Union bloc. The economic predicament has reached such a level that over a period of t ime conflicts will happen. War has to take place; it is inevitable. But they have a backup plan ready. They are just artificially inflating the dollar and trying to save it, although it is already too late.

Their Tools and Operations There are two parts to their banking arena; invasion and control. They are invading and controlling even the community in which they live i.e. the A merican nation. Their existence itself is a trial for us. They spread corruption wherever they settle and this is why they were expelled fro m countries throughout history. This is because of their belief that everyone other than Jews is not human. They have permitted themselves to violate the blood, wealth, money, dignity etc. of non-Jews. Whatever they are doing outside America is even more frightening than their activities inside. The first and main requirement for them to control any country is that its leader should be a corrupt leader; he should have assets with them; and should be a Freemason or one of their agents. When Yousuf (A) asked to be given authority over the finances of the country, his argument was that he was حّفٍظand ٌٍ ػي. He had the knowledge and was capable of running the economic system of the time; he wou ld not deceive or be dishonest, and would be trustworthy as he understood the whole system. The Zionists, however, require the exact opposite character traits in an individual for him to qualify as the leader of a country they want to control. When the IMF and World Bank give loans to countries there are some prearranged conditions that have to be agreed upon. Their representatives have to be appointed in the key strategic positions i.e. in the state bank, privatizat ion commission, planning commission etc. of the country. Thus instead of a ٌٍ ػيand حّفٍظ, a corrupt and deceiving person is appointed to the strategic posts fro m where the nation‘s finances can be controlled. Even if sincere people occupy these posts, Zionist agents sitting in strategic positions will not let them take any action. ―The Confessions of an Economic Hit Man‖ is a book written by John Perkins
33
. He used to work with the IMF and
worked along with the Zionists to destroy nations. However in the end, consumed by his guilt he wrote a book describing his dealings and exp lained how they were carried out. We get a firsthand exp lanation of how people were killed, and nations were secured and destroyed. This proof is accessible to everyone now. The leader of a nation is given the choice of a bullet in his head, or a Swiss bank account. One would be amazed at how many leaders of

John Perkins is a former respected member of the international banking community. In his book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man he describes how, as a highly paid professional, he helped the U.S. cheat poor countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars by lending them more money than they could p ossibly repay and then taking over their economies.

nations possess these Swiss bank accounts. They are offered protection, control of government, pardon from corruption charges, a Swiss bank account and palaces around the world. If they refuse to comply, they can be killed. We will cite two examp les. Mohammad Mosaddeq was Iran‘s prime minister fro m 1951 to 1953. He nationalized the real wealth of Iran, wh ich is oil. However the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA of America) launched a campaign and sent in Kermit Roosevelt Jr., who was a CIA agent and the grandson of Theodore Roos evelt. He caused riots and revolution, and bought the clerics, ministers, trade unions, the media and the defense, which resulted in a revolution that brought back Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi into power. The Shah was their main stooge and slave-servant. He was repositioned by the overthrowing of Mosaddeq through a revolution Another examp le is that, in 1974, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia took a stand and stopped exporting oil to America. The A merican economy was hit hard. It was such a big blow to them because Saudi Arabia had been their main oil supplier for 50 years. They followed their standard modus operandi and assassinated him. The natural resources of a nation can never be private property. This is a lesson taught to us by Yousuf (A). All minerals, gold, forests, pastures, water, fuel etc. belong to the state. That is why he took the responsibility of ُخصاء
األزض. There is a hadeeth of Rasoolullah ( hubp ) wh ich clarifies the issue of privatization of natural resources 34 . There are three things which are the collective responsibility of the people, and cannot be privatized. They are fuel (coal, petrol etc), Pastures (forests, land etc.) and water. Yousuf (A) used the term ( خصاءُ األزضtreasures of the land). The ruling is that all the natural riches of the earth cannot be privatized. When the Zionists plan to control a nation and its resources, they first fulfill the requirement of getting their agents appointed in key positions. Every man may not be corrupt; but one or two are enough to corrupt the whole system.
34
The state has been ordained by Islam to play a direct role in the economy and not leave things completely to the free market. Ibn ‗Abbas Narrated as reported by Abu Dawud that M uhammad (saw) said: "Muslims are partners in three things: in water, pastures and fire." Based upon this hadith the state takes direct ownership of the fire based resources such as oil, gas, refineries, electricity plants as well as the water resources. In this way society will not be open to abuse by private companies who mak e a killing from such key essential utilities. The state will also control key institutions in society so it will be in a position to act well before it's too late.
63

After this they offer loans. The fluctuating situation in the country‘s economy and escalations in commodity prices are entirely forged by them to make it necessary for the nation to take loans. The leaders are not given Swiss ban k accounts in charity; they are required to play their part. When Zionists offer loans, the nation has to pay interest too. In this way they lay down proposals for the nation to export its natural wealth like gold, fuel, food, commodit ies etc. to them, so that it can generate money to return those loans . The Zionists buy the resources at rock bottom prices. If you take notice, the prices of co mmod ities exported fro m poor countries do not fluctuate and stay stable for more than 50 years. Over a period of time, the whole nation is robbed of its wealth while the loan stays in place and the payment of interest becomes never-ending. When the people of the country work hard to pay back the money and slowly begin to achieve this, the Zionists facilitate the devaluation of the nation‘s currency through the IMF and World Bank, and the corrupt leaders appointed by them. The worker who used to work for a day to earn money with a certain purchasing power has to now work for t wo days to earn the same. Therefore whatever the loan that had to be returned in 5 years will now take 10 years to return, making it not only difficult but almost impossible for the loan to be paid back. When the countries almost reach the end of the loan, the Zionists either devalue their currencies or start riots and wars to change the whole situation. As a matter of fact the CIA has played a majo r ro le in the economic crises you see on the streets of many countries. This is the kind of institution that spreads terror around the world, overthrows governments, assassinates presidents and kings and creates tussles and conflicts between the people. The idea of democracy that is being instilled in the minds of natio ns was inspired by the Zionists and the CIA. People will be distressed to hear this as they believe democracy is the solution for everything around them. There is no democracy anywhere in the world. The CIA funds the chaos and destruction in the country. The leadership is not honest; the media is corrupt and is filled with traitors. Allama Iqbal says, ―If you want to destroy nations then give the choice of freedom to the people (so that they will be deceived). Let them do what they want‖. The media is in a state of absolute confusion, and the ‗bullet or bank account‘ offer proves plainly that democ racy is just a stage show. When the country cannot pay back the loans due to the depreciation of its currency, and its wealth has all been exported, it is left thoroughly damaged. The Zionists will approach such nations with proposals for privatizing all their wealth-producing instruments such as the mines, oil wells, forests, gold reserves etc. which will then be sold to
64
Economic Terroris m
them. Their agents will co me and buy them at rock bottom prices. This is privatization. In return, they will offer money wh ich will help pay back the loans. Privatizat ion has a major role in the step by step invasion of a country by the Zionists. They create such circu mstances that do not allow the loan to be paid back, and then have the natural resources privatized. By this time the whole nation will have become enslaved and the people just work and work to pay back the interest . All the countries around the world are suppressed under their lending system. They have given loans worth billions of dollars to Brazil. Its rainforests are being burned and destroyed every day to make room to cultivate cash crops. The Zionists will explo it these to get back their money. 70% of the world‘s oxygen is produced there. Due to the destruction of these rainforests, the ozone layer is being damaged. Factories around the world operate 24 hours a day emitting harmful gases into the atmosphere as they work to pay back the interests. Global warming, pollution of the oceans, the melting of glaciers- due to which the world is on the verge of flooding- are all results of the destruction that they have cooked up in all these years. The rain which used to be the mercy of Allah is becoming acid rain due to the chemicals released into the atmosphere. The plants and trees of the world are being destroyed. As Allah says, they are people who have been driven to madness by the touch of shaitaan:
(( ِ))اىَ رٌَِِ ٌَؤْمُيَُُ٘ اىسِثَب ىَب ٌَقٍَُُُ٘٘ إِىَب مَََب ٌَقًُُ٘ اىَ رِي ٌَزَخَجَطُُٔ اىّشٍَْطَبُُ ٍَِِ اىََْط Those who devour usury will not stand except as stands o ne whom the Evil One by his touch hath driven to madness. (Surah Baqarah : 275) They have no humanitarian qualities. They are so strongly usury-obsessed that they will never pardon the interest on the loans they have given to people. Another tool of their fundamental mission to enslave and control the entire humanity is to break the large human race into smaller nations; the concept of nationalizat ion. The demarcation of geographical boundaries between nations is similar to what happens in concentration camps, where the inmates are put in different cells. They did this
65
Economic Terroris m
to the world after World War I, for examp le the redrawing of the map of the Middle East and the Balkanizat ion
35
of
Bosnia. This is important for them because some larger states which do not come under their control create problems for them. By splitting them into smaller nations and giving these small nations a name, a geography, a flag and instilling nationalist feelings, they isolate them fro m one another. After that when these small nations need to establish trade between themselves, they have to do it through the Zionist banking system. For examp le, if Pakistan and Iran carry out trade, they do it in dollars. The Letter of Cred its (LC), the banking system etc. are all the same. The Zionists not only control international trade, but it also becomes easy for them to control each nation separately whilst it struggles for survival. First they took control of Afghanistan and the whole wo rld merely looked on. Then they did the same to Iraq and still the world just watched. Now they are talking about Iran or Pakistan. On the one hand they are breaking the country into different pieces and on the other they are creating bigger blocs for themselves like the collect ive security arrangements; the European Union, the North A merican Union, etc. They do not want other countries like Pakistan to make an Islamic b loc alongside NATO or an Asian Regional Security bloc etc. Their primary aims are thus: to break b ig countries into smaller nations, make them fight against each other, spread chaos in the name of Nationalization and reduce the population, particularly that of Muslim countries. These are the fundamental areas through which they want to enslave all the nations of the world.
35
The term Balkanization is today invoked to explain the disintegration of some multiethnic states and their devolution into dictatorship, ethnic cleansing, and civil war. In the early 1990s the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the collapse of the Soviet Union led to the emergence of several new states—many of which were unstable and ethnically mixed—and then to violence between them. In the 1990s in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ethnic divisions and intervention by Yugoslavia and Croatia led to widespread fighting between Serbs, Croatians, and Bosnians (M uslims) for control of key villages and roads. Between 1992 and 1995, Bosnian Serbs and Serbian paramilitary groups conducted a nearly 1,400-day siege of Bosnia‘s capital, Sarajevo, in an effort to break M uslim resistance. During the fighting, more than 10,000 people died, including some 1,500 children.

The Goal of Population Control Their goal of population control is quite defined; it simp ly means global enslavement. Especially if the more densely populated states are Muslim ones, and if they have the strength of unity and the means, they will not fall under Zionist control very easily. The fundamental pillars of their fo reign policy for the 21st century were designed by Henry Kissinger in 1974. He created a document known as the Genocide Plan
36
for the US fo reign policy. The plan‘s aim was to reduce the
population of 13 big nations, as they were considered to be a threat to American interests. These nations were India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil and Colo mb ia. The West wanted to bring these nations under its contro l because with such huge populations these nations possessed manpower and resources, and therefore boasted an immense potential to become big economic blocs. Countries with large populations would be in control of their own resources and so the Zionists created conflicts within these nations. In his document, Kissinger used phrases like birth control, population control etc. but their implicit meaning in this context was to create wars, spread terror and diseases and dimin ish the human resource these huge nations possessed. The Zionists realized that when they took control of these countries, they would have to feed their population, much of which was below the poverty line and did not make much difference to the economy of that country. Their solution therefore was to eradicate the poor by starving them to death. As mentioned in the Quran – they are people whom the Evil One by his touch hath driven to madness. They are not normal human beings. The Quran repeatedly and very categorically defines each of their attributes. For examp le, Allah mentions that when they speak anyone would be attracted by the beauty of their speech.
36
On Dec. 10, 1974, the U.S. National Security Council under Henry Kissinger completed a classified 200-page study, "National Security Study M emorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests." The study falsely claimed that population growth in the so-called Lesser Developed Countries (LDCs) was a grave threat to U.S. national security. Adopted as official policy in November 1975 by President Gerald Ford, NSSM 200 outlined a covert plan to reduce population growth in those countries through birth control, and also, implicitly, war and famine. Brent Scowcroft, who had by then replaced Kissinger as national security adviser (the same post Scowcroft was to hold in the Bush administration), was put in charge of implementing the plan. CIA Director George Bush was ordered to assist Scowcroft, as were the secretaries of state, treasury, defense, and agriculture. It claimed that population growth in those states was especially worrisome, since it would quickly increase their relative political, economic, and military strength.

When someone tells them not to spread chaos in the world, they innocently claim they are only bringing into countries democracy, peace, human rights, freedom of exp ression and freedom of media. This Genocide Plan, v isualized by Henry Kissinger in 1974, was made law by the A merican President in 1975. It was also made into a policy document wh ich had to be put into operation. The aim was to start implementing this plan after the next 25 years. They would begin preparations and initiate implementation by the beginning of the 21st century. Terror, disease and war, which are prime tools to dimin ish populations, would be spread in the countries mentioned in the Genocide Plan. We will explain how they are going to execute their plans with these elements as their groundwork.

Food as a Weapon
By a similar method to the one they used to create the global economic system backed by the Federal Reserve, they have also created a food monopoly over a period of time. Nowadays both domestic and international food prices have become exorb itant. It is not the situation in just one country. All dairy products, animal products, meat, and food grains transported and distributed in countries are controlled by eleven to twelve giant companies, to the extent that they are all packed, processed and brought into supermarkets by them too. These major co mpanies are Swiss, American, British, French and the like, and are present everywhere. These food cartels control the food prices of the whole world, and food transportation, distribution etc. We have discussed the reasons for the increas e in oil p rices around the world. When oil prices rise, one of the direct consequences is that food prices also rise in all the poor and developing countries due to the rise in cost of transport and inputs. The result is that the poor cannot afford to buy food. Famine begins to spread, people starve to death, corruption flourishes, and conflicts between people escalate. Chaos and anarchy spread through the whole community. One state starts blaming and badmouthing the other; the public starts blaming the government; the government blames the people and there is difference of opinion in different sections of society. The Zionists are profiting fro m each and every action of the people. These events are not inadvertent; they are all deliberate. Another dissolute endeavor that they have undertaken is the launch of the new concept of bio-fuels (biological fuels). The price of oil was rising and the Americans thems elves found it costly. They decided that the American nation would create its own fuels biologically, as the import of oil fro m the Middle East had become too expensive. Their forests and agricultural products, like grains, would be converted to petrol. Just visualize this picture – people around the world are dying of starvation and the West is converting 30% of its corn crop to bio-fuels and making petrol that will be used in the rich man‘s vehicle. They have developed a scheme to make all vehicles in A merica run on bio-fuels by 2025. In other words, they will cause widespread starvation in the world. Their big food cartels
69
Economic Terroris m
are buying and accumulating food stocks from the world over, while their crops are being turned into bio-fuels on a large scale. They will then distribute the food stockpile at higher prices to the world as well as to their own nation. For examp le, in the UK, a sack of flour wo rth 8 Pounds now costs double the amount. This is not an accidental phenomenon; it has been devised by the eleven or twelve food cartels that are backed by Zionist bankers and their imperial governments. Genetically Modified Crops present another new concept. These food companies make seeds in their labs . In the usual agricu ltural p rocess, after the harvest the farmer would sell some of the crop, consume some of it, and keep some as seed for the following year‘s crop. This is not the case with genetically modified crops. They are harvested just once and are then of no use; they do not develop seeds. These have to be bought for the new crop. Though the productivity is higher, the whole nation becomes dependent on these seeds which cannot be found anywhere except with these food cartels. The higher the price at which they sell the seeds , the higher the market price of the crop. Though the superficial quality is better, GM crops pose much higher health hazards. The local food industry will collapse completely due to this. Also, the US gives subsidies to its farmers. If the production cos t to farmers of a quantity of corn is $100 dollars, 80% of it is paid by the government and the rest of the 20% is taken up by the farmer. He brings his produce into the market for 25 dollars. This is then exported to the poor countries where, in contrast, subsidies are prohibited or the IMF instructs the government to gradually reduce or remove them. For examp le, in Mozamb ique in Africa, farmers bring a crop to the market at the price of 40 MZM (meitcais) per kg. Grain imported fro m outside however, is priced at just 20 MZM per kg. For consumers, this is cheaper and local produce is expensive. The farmer loses his business. Within one or two years, local farmers are removed fro m the ho me market, wh ich will now sell only grains imported fro m other countries. These can now be priced at 60 MZM as there is no local competition. Th is is exact ly what is happening in developing countries . They have converted wheat-export ing nations into wheat-importing nations. Today the world needs an annual 3000 billion tons of grain for subsistence. World production however, is 1900 billion tons i.e. 1100 billion tons less than what is required. The food cartels have kept these conditions steady for the last five years. The production of everything else is actually increasing, but for the last five years these mu ltinational co mpanies have kept the production of wheat, which is a staple diet, steady below the actual minimu m
70
Economic Terroris m
requirement. This global game plan should be understood as it contributes to the artificial spread of famine and starvation around the world. Earlier, when there was a deficiency of grain poorer nations would buy it from abroad or it would be donated to them as there was a plentiful supply. Some nations had more when others had less; they used to freely distribute grains in less fortunate countries. Now, even if the wealthier states wanted to distribute grain, and the poorer ones wanted to buy it, there is not enough to go around. Excessive deficiencies and famine are being created deliberately. Another aspect of this is that in the 1950s and 1960s, major agricultural p rojects were in itiated in most parts of the world. After World War II Eu ropean countries needed food and drink as a part of their reconstruction process , as these had been almost completely destroyed during the war. Their agricultural sector was not very strong. They initiated and financed agricultural pro jects all over the world, s o that the poorer countries would produce grains such as wheat, barley etc. and export these to them. They dedicated their own resources towards the manufacturing sector, and thus gave themselves greater value. Their food supplies thus remained secure whilst they manufactured complicated industrial products. After the approval of the Kissinger Plan of 1974, however, the Zionists did not allow countries to move towards any major agricultural p lans. The population is increasing and, since the last five years, they have fixed the food supply at a level lo wer than the required one. They are deliberately not letting crop production increase. After a few years the situation will be such that even if richer countries who do not produce agricultural goods wish to buy them fro m other countries, they will not be able to; supplies will have become too expensive. There is a deficiency of grain even in the West because they are converting it into bio-fuels. Previously they had such a great surplus of wheat that they used to dump thousands of tons of it into the oceans. They never brought it to the world market because the price of wheat would have plummeted had they done so. On one side, thousands of people are dieing of starvation, and on the other, people are throwing grain into the oceans for their own underhand purposes. When events take shape this way, the result will be disputes for resources between nations and wars will begin. The population will decline due to these wars. Under the cover of conflicts, institutions on the call of Kissinger have already carried out thousands of killings in Rwanda, Central Africa. There is no place left in the world where they have not instigated conflicts to fulfill their wicked objectives.

Spreading Diseases The Zionists‘ next immo ral method to reduce populations is Biological Warfare i.e. the spreading of diseases. There is concrete evidence available that they AIDS v irus created in their laboratory
37
. They first injected it into the people
of Belgian Congo in Africa, and fro m there it spread to the different parts of the world. One benefit they reaped fro m this project was that it contributed to the decline in population. Another is that medicines for AIDS, the Anti Retroviral drugs, are made by their pharmaceutical co mpanies and they bring in billions of dollars. The tragedy of it is that they can kill people and make money by selling their med icines when they are apparently ‗saving‘ them. They are people whom the Evil One by his touch hath driven to madness. They too are affected when global warming occurs. Holland and England will also drown when the glaciers melt and the oceans flood. They plan all this chaos, but it does backfire on them as they are not God. They are destroying agriculture, hu manity and the coming generations , and spreading confusion all over the world. The people who die o f Aids quietly in their own areas carry no importance for the Zionists. They are like insects to them. In their v iew, they are the lower classes and make up those labor communit ies whose death in thousands is a trivial matter. Only those who have the riches and the status in life are capable of afford ing their retroviral drugs. Another example is that after the 9/11 attacks, individuals in the senate and congress started receiving envelops of anthrax drugs. These were not sent by any Islamic group or movement. Later it was found that their own people had been responsible; but the result was that the US government stockpiled billions of dollars worth of Anthrax vaccine. An interesting point here is that Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense at the time, had a share in the company that was producing these vaccines. This shows how and why they created the alarm and panic, and how they benefited from it. Their sinister characteristics can be easily recognized in their control of the food supply to reduce world population, and their spreading wars and diseases like the bird flu virus, anthrax, AIDS etc.

India is blocking water supplies to neighboring countries as it is also facing water shortage. India also knows about the advent of famine and starvation. They are comb ining their water resources through a river network system. There is a scarcity of water and food supplies in the world now and even if we want to buy grain, it will not be available; if we do get it, it will be at ten times the price. In these circu mstances future wars will be over water. On ly countries that have stocks of water and have secured their food resources will survive. If we take the examp le of Yousuf (A) here – Allah (swt) co mmunicated the news of approaching famine to him through a dream that the nation‘s king had. By Allah‘s will, Yousuf (A) interpreted that dream and learned that they had a marg in of seven years, during which their country would flourish. Ho wever they had to store as much as possible within that period, because after that there would be drought and famine for the next seven years after that. This would be so severe that the whole region would be devoid of wheat or grains. Whoever made use of this informat ion fro m A llah would survive- otherwise they would be afflicted by starvation, war, d isease etc. On an intellectual basis therefore, keeping in view all the Jewish statistics, this is a warning for the nations of the world. We must be informed that within the coming few years there is going to be a severe shortage of water, and war over water will follow. The situation will be delicate for some years. Only those countries will survive which have food and water supplies secured. Remember the warn ing that was given to Yousuf (A) – the whole world is on the verge of drought and famine. How, then, to counter this? The answer to this question is actually very straightforward. Nations must simply be aware of the game plan. This awareness should make people react and Insha Allah they will respond. There will be a transformation. The leaders who have been appointed heads of states should act with responsibility and take care not to deceive the public. It will not be necessary for the Zionists to drop atom bombs on countries; they will simp ly instigate conflicts between them and kill by starvation, thirst and famine. They will do this to the whole world. 38
These techniques are not modern methodologies. This nexus is very old . Solutions do exist, and awareness is the first step. All Zion ist-backed elements that are present amongst us should be exposed. We should recognize their

game plan and develop responses. We should demand more fro m our leadership, and it must rise to the occasion. Their next step has to be anticipated. The establishment of control over nations through food supplies and economies has been happening for hundreds of years. It was especially popular during the Colonial Age. The East India Co mpany, formed in 1601 and financed by Zionist bankers, was the first mult inational corporation wh ich took steps to colonize nations. These were the same bankers who created the Bank of England and were giving loans to the British Emp ire. If we examine the names on the boards of directors of multinational food corporations, most of them will also hold posts in different institutions like the World Bank, the IMF, or the boards of the Federal Reserve, or carry a political standing. Their nexus is the same. They are so metimes involved in government, somet imes in banking and sometimes in the food supply 39
controlling cartels or the giant pharmaceutical co mpany boards. They all belong to one group and one cartel – the Freemasonic Zionist economic system that is planning to enslave the whole world.

M ust see: http://www.larouchepub.com/other/1995/2249_cartel_companies.html Strategic profiles of 11 of the principal companies that constitute the Anglo-Dutch-Swiss food cartel. The profiles confirm that through multiple forms of concentration, these companies dominate grain, meat, dairy, and other food production, and the processing and distribution system of food, all the way to the supermarket. Very little food is shifted on the face of the earth without the food cartel having a hand in it.

The History of the last 500 years The mindset of today‘s generation did not develop only just in recent times. To understand it we have to go back in history to the colonial period. We will refer to some facts and build over them. Earlier we discussed how the Zionist bankers took control of their own society and how the Bank of England and Federal Reserve were created. Now we will discuss when, and exactly how, they started taking over the world. This will facilitate the understanding of their present day actions, and we will realize that this is not something new and has been happening for many centuries. They have been continuously at it for the last 500 years. Sp reading terror, destruction, genocide, mass murder etc. in the world has been characteristic of them. The Zionist bankers are the fundamental cause of all this destruction and chaos. They financed the Brit ish Empire, just as Rothschild said; ‗I control the empire on which the sun never sets‘. Similarly, when the East India Company was made in 1601, Zionist bankers were behind it. The conditions are the same even today. They are backing and controlling the multinational companies as well as governments and empires. Another important aspect is that the Zionist Jews have been using the Christian world to spread destruction all around the globe to achieve their goals. We will take examp les from the Crusade wars. In these wars, the armies were primarily being lead by knights called the Te mplar Kn ights and the Hospitallar Knights. When the Christians took over the Bait al Muqaddas, the control was with the Zionists. In a similar way to how they created Israel, they attempted to create a nation even at time of the crusades. An outburst was initiated in the Christian world in the name of the crusades. Thousands of soldiers came fro m around the Christian world, and a few Temp lar Knights led them. The aim was to bring the Christians to combat with the Muslim world, while the Zionists took control of Bait al Muqaddas for themselves. The people who were fighting and dying were Christians. This is exactly what is happening today. The Christian American soldiers are fighting Muslims in Muslim land while the show is run by Zionist Jews and Freemasons. The next plan that was made involved the new term ‗Judeo-Ch ristian civ ilizat ion‘. Historically such a thing never existed, and it does not have any foundation. There was either a Jewish civilizat ion or a Christian culture. The Christians never let the Jews come near them; they ousted the Jews wherever they saw them. The Ro man Catholic Church never pardoned the Jews . The separation of the Protestants from the Ro man Catholic Church, wh ich weakened their power, was actually an outcome of the doings of Zionist Jews, so that the church‘s anger towards 75
Economic Terroris m
them would be diluted. Now the Christians themselves say that they are a part of the Judeo-Christian civ ilization; but this term was never used in history. One should note how Jews associate themselves with the Christians, claiming that both communit ies have a common interest against the Muslims. The ruling power was always with the Christians. The Jews never had any authority in all of history. All the imperial powers such as the French, Portuguese, Dutch, Brit ish and Spanish Emp ires had Christian governments. The objective of the Christian community at the time was Imperialis m; they wanted to invade and control the nations of the world. They also had a hatred for Muslims. The Zionists exp loited these two sentiments of the Christians with even worse intentions. They drove the Christians to take over and establish control over the world, especially the Muslim countries. We have to understand how this led fro m the Colonial Age to the present scenario. Their fundamental undertakings throughout the ages have been carried out by financing the Christian emperors and winning them over to their side, by developing and using multinational corporations and by taking advantage of Christian hatred towards Muslims. By exp loit ing the imperial designs of the Christians and devastating the whole world, the Zionists got their way and gained what they wanted. They are still operating this way. It must be emphasized here that in the process, even the Christians were enslaved. They associated themselves with the Jews; but the Jews have made their lives miserable. They have comp letely destroyed them and their relig ion. For example, economically the Western societies have completely become slaves of the Federal Reserve ; so much so that they buy everything on credit and their econo my is declining. Along with that, the Jews have also disfigured the Christian moral-value system. Their family structure has been completely distorted; their community, their character and their religion have been destroyed. They have become immo ral and depraved societies that do not have any spiritual direction or sense of purpose. They have paid such a heavy price for this western way of life that they have been following for the last 40-50 years. Their societies have suffered so much damage that a certain hatred for the 40
Jews has started developing in them. This is actually a strange phenomenon, which they call anti-Semitis m . There has been a rise of fascist and neo Nazi parties in the whole of Europe, in countries like Austria, Germany and many other places where hatred towards Jews emerged. This is happening because the educated Christians of those areas
40
Antisemitism is prejudice against or hostility toward Jews. This prejudice or hostility is usually characterized by a combination of religious, racial, cultural and ethnic biases.
76
Economic Terroris m
have realized that Jews are the reason behind their destruction. The Jews are eradicating political part ies based on this hatred with great difficu lty. In order to achieve their goal of global government through all these methodologies; economic enslavement, food control, political control etc; they have had to create such a society that offers no resistance their prescribed system. They achieved this in the West by disfiguring and destroying the western social and moral fabric and family life. To understand this aspect properly we will cite the example of Japan along with the West. Japan adopted t he Zionist economic system after World War II, and had to pay a very high price as a result. The Zionists want to conduct the same experiments in Muslim societies and so we should understand their game p lan, their language, their weapons etc. Only then will it beco me easy to respond to their methods. It should be noted that our young generation today is unaware of our h istory and the events that have been taking place during the last three to four hundred years. Today the western culture has dazzled the eyes of the public. They look up to the west and adopt its practices and values, and consider it to be the most cultured and advanced society in the world. However they are not aware that the hands of the west are stained with blood; nor do they understand how immo ral and cruel its culture and character are and how it propagates murder, and spreads destruction and chaos in the world. Once the callousness of their culture becomes apparent, then we will cease to accept any solutions they provide, and it will beco me easier for our people to accept other alternatives. The mindset of today‘s generation has been developed by propaganda of their culture for the last 250 years, through colonization, wars and the media. They have changed our thoughts and ideas. People are compelled to believe that it is impossible to develop an alternative cultural system that goes against the western cultural system. When our leaders discourse with leaders of developing countries or poorer nations they look direct ly into their eyes . In contrast, when they speak to western leaders they hesitate because they consider the Western culture to be dominant, since they have ruled over us. However the west has destroyed and blemished religion, character, cu lture and the very foundations of nations. Today we witness a morally and religiously bankrupt society. Their social institutions including cohesive family units, marriage, raising families, caring for the old and aged etc have all been damaged. How did this happen?

We will mention an unbelievable fact here. The Rockefellers
41
are also a Jewish family like the Rothschilds. They
own a huge foundation known as the Rockefeller Foundation. They sponsor projects all around the world. In the 1930s-1940s, 80% of the A mericans were passionate about their land and were farmers. Du ring those times America had good Christians and good value systems. They had the concept of a typical American family and lived happily. Du ring the 1950s and 1960s, A merica was developing due to the industrial revolution, and her industries needed workers. When the Zionists started exporting produce, they needed workers in their factories. A full-fledged campaign was launched by the Rockefeller foundation in the name of wo men‘s 42
liberat ion . Femin ist movements seeking the rights of women emerged. They argued that women‘s staying at home was, in actuality, suppression and injustice towards them. According to them, it was only fair that they should also be brought out of their houses. This was their plot. These claims appeared to be outwardly fascinating; as statistically it was better for the prosperity of the country that half the population (who were wo men) should also be given credit for it. Therefore they too had to become ‗successful‘ and co me out of their houses, work in factories etc. But, in reality, the Zionists‘ aim was immoral. Previously, only men worked and took loans and dealt with banks and the government charged inco me taxes only fro m them. However when the ladies would start coming out of their homes and working in factories, production

"Rockefeller told Russo of two primary reasons why the elite bankrolled women's lib, one because before women's lib the bankers couldn't tax half the population and two because it allowed them to get children in school at an earlier age, enabling them to be indoctrinated into accepting the state as the primary family, breaking up the traditional family model.

and output would increase; ladies would start earning, have an independent life, and become free of obligations to men. The Zionists‘ plot was to first bring out the rest of the population and also involve it in debt. Secondly, tax could also be taken out of their inco mes. Third ly, the ladies too would start using credit cards and taking loans. Already, half the population was debt- ridden; now the remaining half would also be in the same state. Fourthly, when both parents worked in the factory, children would be left alone. In this way they established and spread a network of public schools. Their aim was to have the children in school fro m a very young age, so that their whole thinking mechanis m would be transformed here. They started fashioning an American generation that was confused, and rendered incapable of challenging their economic system. They co mpletely transformed the society into one based on Zionist ideologies. People only knew what was taught to them fro m their books. In addition, the Zionists also corrupted the relationship this generation had with its predecessor. The result was that the rate of divorce began to rise as maintaining the family institution started becoming a tedious responsibility for the people. They did not want to raise families and they started to release themselves from such commit ments. Finally, the birth rate and the population growth rate of the West reached almost 0%. In other words, the new generation consisted of fewer children and youth, and the existing population was mostly aging. If we take the example of Japan, we see that it adopted this economic model after the year 1945. Japan is quoted exemplary of the economic model that depicts prosperity and development in a country. Many companies fro m around the world have established factories here. However, let us take a look at the price Japan has had to pay for this. The Japanese society used to be a typically traditional eastern society, where love, relations and family carried great importance. However after 1945 the situation changed completely. The percentage of the population taken up by the young generation is only about 20-30%. The remaining 70% are elderly people. This is because the Japanese did not want to have children
43
43
and raise families. The family institution was destroyed. The percentage of children fell
The proportion of children in the population fell to an all-time low of 13.5 percent. That number has been falling for 34 straight
years and is the lowest among 31 major countries, according to the report. (Lost Generations, Japan S teadily Becoming a Land Of Few Children http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp -dyn/content/article/2008/05/05/AR2008050502224.html)

drastically in Japan. For the last 10 years they have been closing down schools
44
as they do not have enough
children to teach. 20% - 25% of the population, the youth, is taking the responsibility of supporting the majority of the population, the old people. The Japanese society is fiercely proud that they are not attracting immigrants fro m 45
the outside world . As a result, production is declining in factories, there are few children to be enrolled in schools, their society is ruined; and the same is the condition in the west. This prestigious nation, which used to strongly believe in its value systems and family life, adopted the western economic model and is now on the verge of ruin due to this demographic depreciation in the last 40 years. The same economic model was earlier embraced in the west. We see that in Europe a heat wave swept across France in 2003
46
killing around 12,000 senior citizens who had been left at home by their children who had gone
holidaying. The children, however, did not come back for their parents‘ funerals. It became difficult for the government to keep so many bodies till the children came to claim them. We also see that there are hardly any young people in the west who have not lost their dignity or virg inity before becoming adults, before getting married. The value systems of their society are completely lost. Little respect or reverence is shown to parents and elders; disregard for mo rality, ethics and law prevails; and there is little or no compassion, sense of responsibility or

In France, 14,802 people—mostly elderly—died from heat, according to the country's largest funeral service. As most people do not know how to react to very high temperatures (for instance, with respect to rehydration), most homes and retirement homes are not equipped with air conditioning. The heat wave occurred in August, a month in which many people, including government ministers and physicians, are on holiday. M any bodies were not claimed for several weeks because relatives were on holiday. A refrigerated warehouse outside Paris was used by undertakers as they did not have enough space in their own facilities.

humanity towards relatives, let alone anyone else. Children leave or are made to leave their parents‘ house as soon as they reach a certain age and then there is no question of bringing up a family. Today, the Scandinavian governments particularly are offering money to people to raise families
47
, so that the region can have a population
of its own. The consequences of the Rockefellers‘ sponsoring of women‘s liberat ion movements are in front of us. Theirs is no longer an immoral society; it has become an amo ral society. Their value system is so completely disfigured that there is no guidance left. The very foundation of Christian values is extremely weak. All the acts that Isa (A) prohibited are practiced. They are involved in each and every one of the sins and immo ralities that led Allah to destroy nations in the past. Obscenity, profanity and debauchery are rampant in these societies. Their fitrah has been completely destroyed. It is quite evident that in a few years they will not have enough people left to work in their factories and industries. Their population is dwindling. They have now started inviting immig rants into their countries. When America and Canada give immigration rights to foreigners, they are not extending a hand in camaraderie and love. They need slaves to run their system, and are thus accepting immigrants from around the world. Nonetheless, as Allah says: ―And (then Unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.‖48 The Zionists plot and conspire, but events just run out of their control. People have started migrat ing to the West in large numbers. As a result the white race, which considers itself superior, has begun to feel insecure. Immig rants are considered a growing threat as they are hard-working and are making a place for themselves in the western community, pushing the local westerners into the back row in the process. Another threat that these Zionists are facing is that the immigrants are bringing their cultures along too. The thousands of Muslim migrants , for instance, are bringing in their value systems and relig ion. So many people are migrat ing to different parts of European countries , that there are constituencies that are populated with only Asians or Pakistanis. Present day Muslims have their shortcomings and faults, but even so they are a great blessing to that bankrupt community. They are projecting their religion, disciplines and their values. Even though these Muslims are liv ing in the west, they do raise families and have sound family values in which respect, love and care are shown to

parents, and children maintain their relationship with their parents. Local citizens are amazed at the value system of the Muslims and many are accepting Islam. Especially in England, the situation is such that they are actually feeling threatened that in a few years time the prime minister could possibly be from a Muslim nation. Also, when these Muslims migrate along with their values, character, discip lines and religion, the hate for the Jews naturally travels along with them.

Backfiring of their plans As we said, the Zionists are not God. They do try to plan, but events get out of control. They plotted to economically enslave the entire western co mmunity by making it survive on debt. They brought the women out of their ho mes and incorporated them into the work force, dro wned them in debt and spoiled their ch ildren. Only afterwards did they realize that their own society could not survive in this way. All these resulting issues do not become evident in the passing of one generation. It takes more than that to realize the consequences, but by then the whole society is ruined. Even Japan, which adopted this system after 1945, came to realize 50 years later how flawed it was, and that the Japanese community and culture had been completely destroyed. The West also is in a similar position. Like the poet Allama Iqbal said: ―This civilization will commit suicide with its own dagger.‖ No one foresaw that after just a few years such large communities of Muslims would take root in the Western countries, and that these would be influenced to such a great extent by them. The Zionist Jews had not planned for this; so many events have spiraled out of their control. Yet another loss that they had to suffer due to the implementation of this system was the rise in hatred towards Jews in Europe and the West. The historical solution they came up with for this was to turn the Christians‘ attention towards fighting the Muslims. After the events of 9/11 the A merican president stated that they were going to start a crusade against the terrorists. Later he took back his words; but his true thoughts had been revealed. There is no difference between the military attacks on Muslim states by the west today and the crusades during the time of Salahuddin Ayyubi. This is yet another crusade offensive on Muslim lands.
The mo re they malign the Muslims in the west, the more the westerners are embracing Islam. Yvonne Ridley

The same society, that calls itself tolerant, secular and liberal, persecutes individuals who revert to Islam by their own choice. Th is is the way the situation has been developing in different parts of the world.

Allah repeats in the Quran:
(( (6) ( إَُِ ٍَغَ اىْؼُ عْسِ ٌُ عْسًا5)))فَئَُِ ٍَغَ اىْؼُ عْسِ ٌُعْسًا “So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief; Verily, with every difficulty there is relief” (94: 5, 6)
Allah has also maintained an aspect of ease and relief in whatever hardships and difficult ies one has to endure. We are therefore duty-bound to search for it and rest assured that there is nothing to be afraid of regarding this modern economic system. We have to extract the solutions fro m their system itself. We will use their very own game p lan against them, Insha Allah. And Allah is going to design His own strategies which will be the best of all.

Comparison between Muslim invasions and the Crusades The technique of the Zionists was to turn the Christian West against the Muslims ( Crusades) and to spread chaos in the Muslim nations. However the societies, economies, social and moral fabrics of the West are themselves being destroyed in the process. Historically, Muslims do agree with the fact that when they had the opportunity, they too conquered western civilizat ions like Spain etc and founded empires. They also came to India and established rule there. What then was the difference between the invasions by the Crusaders and those by the Muslims? We will cite some examples. The prominent instance here would be when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) took over Makkah. One will not find a single example in human history of a person who was persecuted by his enemies for 22 years, tortured and driven out of his own homeland ; and when he came to take over that very city (Makkah) with an army of ten thousand, he was magnanimous enough to grant complete and absolute pard on! He set a role model for humanity; teaching forgiveness, perseverance and magnanimity. The Muslims have endured many losses but have always been steady on their value systems. We have forgiven the worst of enemies and undoubtedly suffered losses as a consequence, but even then we followed the role model o f Rasoolullah ( hubp ). Th is is our stand and attitude. When Caliph Omar (ra) took over the Bait ul Muqaddas, he too announced a general pardon. Salahuddin Ayyubi conquered Bait ul Muqaddas after 90 years of Ch ristian rule. Muslims had been massacred in the name of the cross. One would have expected him to be thirsting for revenge, but Salahuddin Ayyubi, the Mujahid, forgave each and every one of the knights , asked them to take their belongings and leave. People never used to utter a word against Salahuddin Ayyubi‘s honor. They had recognized him as a noble and dignified man.

When the Muslims entered Spain, they lived in peace and harmony with the local people. They took the initiative to spread education, establish libraries, hospitals and all those institutions that were necessary to improve the living standards of people. They developed the nation so much that when George Bernard Shaw was asked what would have happened if the Muslims had not been forced out of Spain, he replied that mankind would have reached the moon 200 years before they did. However, the same t ime period in the west was known as the Dark Ages. People there were experiencing a very harsh world. In France, they could not even safely walk the streets of Paris. Individuals were accused of being witches and magicians , and burnt alive. They had a very immoral way of life. They themselves refer to the times as the Dark Ages. The Muslim civilizat ion was being established in Andalus ia (Spain) and the European civilization was emerging in the west. The Muslims had created the Ottoman Emp ire, which they ruled for 800 years. When they lost to the Christians in Spain and both Muslims and Jews were driven out of there, the Jews took refuge under the Ottoman (Us maniyah) Emp eror. They came to the Muslims to escape fro m the Christians, and the Ottoman Emp ire gave them protection. Such was the culture and leadership of the Muslim Emp ires. Muslims also ruled Mughal India for over 1000 years. Islam was spread with love and kindness by those who had achieved a status of respect in society due to their compassion and generosity. Hindus were reverting to Islam in the thousands without being forced. Muslim scholars spread love and kindness throughout India with the power and mag ic of Islam. This is the culture of the Muslims on account of which emp ires armed with a political, economic and social ideology were built. Salahuddin Ayyubi only followed the character of Rasoolullah (hubp ) and the example that was set at the time of the conquest of Makkah. The same character and culture were showcased by Omar (ra), the Muslims in Spain, the Emp ire of Usmaniyah and the Muslims of India; and all of these were great Empires. The finding of any such incident in history is highly doubtful, where Muslims took over the cultures and civilizations of non-Muslims, invaded their nations and then destroyed them comp letely.

Did they not take advantage of the moderate attitude of the Muslims? This is our value system. We cannot throw away our value system, character, disciplines and religion for others. Examples can be quoted from history. We have made mistakes, we have our shortcomings and we have fought huge wars amongst ourselves. However when it comes to our dealing with other nations, there is socio-economic justice. The Jews never got the peace and tranquility that they experienced on Muslim lands anywhere else. They used to leave Christian nations and seek refuge in Muslim countries, and they were given protection without delay. We are discussing all this to clarify the foundation and psychology of our civilization. They accuse us that Islam was spread at the point of a sword; this is an answer to that. Historically, the Muslims emerged fro m Arabia and faced the Roman and Persian empires. These were vast civilizat ions that were more than 1000 years old; hardly amateurs. The Muslim armed forces had no grounding as a strong military. Therefore even if battles of swords were fought with these civilizations the chances of victory were almost non existent. How then did such great empires suffer defeat at the hands of these few Arabs? What was their element of strength which allowed them to defeat these Empires ? When the Muslims invaded other Arab countries such as Egypt, Syria etc. how did they treat the local populace? Did they destroy them or deal with them with love and kindness? As a result of their attitude, mo rals and ethics, the Muslims of 1400 years ago have become the torchbearers for Muslims to come. Today Indonesia is the largest Muslim state. No Muslim military ever went to take over Indonesia; only Muslim merchants traded there. They spread Islam in the region, in Malaysia, Indonesia etc. with love and kindness. Today the fastest growing religion in the West is Islam. Under what sword is it being spread? Under what sword did Yvonne Rid ley become a Muslim? They badmouth and accuse Muslims because our ideologies, civilizat ion and our upright value system pose an immense threat to them. We will draw co mparisons with the Western civilization because it will help us to thoroughly comprehend that their spreading destruction and chaos in the world is not just a present-day story. It is an essential part of the foundation of their civilization. When they invade, they destroy generations from their very roots. For examp le, if one looks over the last 500 years and analyses the colonial period, the Western civilization was growing and the Muslim civilization in Spain was declining; but the Ottoman Emp ire was at its zen ith.

America, South America and Australia are huge continents. Their indigenous population was numbered not in thousands but in millions. Where are they now? Where are the North A merican and South American Indians? Where are the aborigines of Australia? Western colonists have slaughtered the natives in the thousands in these regions. Western domain was founded upon the corpses and graves of existing civ ilizations; the ‗discovery‘ of these places was mo re of an invasion.

(1752 – 1757) and other Muslim ru lers preceding him, Bengal was India‘s most
agricultural region. Every village had a fishing lake of its own, and they used to cultivate their own farms and grow their own agricultural produce. Bengal was very prosperous, in fact it was known as the ‗Granary of India‘, since the agricultural goods were cultivated there and then distributed all over India. The people of Bengal were content and at ease. However the Brit ish East India Co mpany arrived and initiated an era of explo itation. The Brit ish did not purposely come to ru le in the beginning, but neither were they merely merchants; they were exploiters and dacoits. They did not even dream that they could invade such a big country as India, but just planned to exploit as many opportunities as were available in the region. They were aware that the Mughal dynas ty would not let them continue there after they had created so much havoc. However, due to their luck and Muslim India‘s ill fate, the central government of India had become very weak at that time. After Nawab Siraj ud Daula‘s death in 1757, the Brit ish had started cultivating two crops in Bengal. It was prohibited for local farmers to grow food crops there; they had to grow only cash crops. One was the Indigo crop, from which dyes were made for the textile industry. The other was opium. We will now discuss why they were cultivating opium and what they did with it. This is a historic aspect still not found in any history books. The extent of the destruction and chaos that they spread is not taught to children in schools. This was a time when India‘s neighbor, China, was a prosperous, civilized nation. When the British East India Co mpany reached this area, they started purchasing numerous commodities fro m China, which they could promote in Europe and make huge sums of profit. These items included porcelain, silk and mostly tea. They were very much in demand in Europe during those times , and were expensive. The Brit ish began trading with China using Bengal as

their base. Ch ina took pay ment in Go ld and Silver. The balance of trade was such that only Britain was buying from China. China did not hav e to buy anything from outside; they were a major civilization and were quite self-sufficient, content and prosperous. They neither wanted nor needed anything from Eu rope. It will be made clear beyond doubt that the British were corrupt rogues. They plotted to get the Chinese addicted to drugs like opiu m. As drug culture spread in China, the Britis h produced drugs in Bengal and sold them to China and bought the commodit ies that they required fro m there. They tried to tilt the balance of trade with China in their own favor. In other words, drug trade by the East India Company and the British Emp ire started operating officially. The British government gave the Co mpany complete protection including warships, army forces etc. Brit ish revenue going to China in the form of gold and silver was being returned to the company with higher profits through the sale of drugs. This, however, was not being done without the approval of the Chinese government. The government of Ch ina did impose a ban on opium smuggling at that time. The items that the East India Company was purchasing were legally documented commodit ies like porcelain, silk, tea etc, but they wished to create a more favorable balance of trade there through whatever means. The British violated the ban and smuggled opium into China. They developed the world ‘s largest drug cartel and flooded China with drugs. They forced the Bengali farmers to grow opium and banned them fro m cu ltivating food crops. On one side the way was paved for famine and drought due to which millions of people were exterminated, and on the other, at least 20 million Chinese died due to drug usage within only a few years. They killed millions of Chinese and Bengalis within a span of 20-30 years. It is impossible to imagine another such horrifying picture in history, anywhere fro m the time of Siraj ud Daula to 1850. The Chinese Emperor banned drug smuggling by the 1830s and dealt very strictly with the smugglers. They were not permitted to come anywhere near Chinese waters by ship and their trade was thus closed. As a result, the British
90

Emp ire opened hostilities and sent in warships. The ensuing wars are called ‗the Opiu m wars‘
51
in history. Brit ish
were far more technologically advanced, and China was defeated. As a result, they invaded and captured Hong Kong. Hong Kong Island gained independence from the British in 1997 and was given back to China after 250-300 years. The Brit ish made Hong Kong their base, and gathered goods there and smuggled them into China. Now that China had been defeated, the treaty it had to agree to was completely unjust; China had to open all her ports and markets to the British; it had to grant them permission to enter Chinese cities, make trading posts in China and gather drugs such as opium etc and promote them. In other words, the Chinese emperor could only helplessly watch the entire nation get addicted to drugs. The situation became so bad that the East India Company was bu ying tea worth thousands and selling opiu m worth millions. The balance of trade had been completely reversed. The foundation of Brit ish Emp ire in the Far East was built on drugs. The largest drug peddlers of the world were the British. Ch inese authorities tried to stop the drug trade numerous times. In 1858 they began another war, the Second Opiu m War, but they were again defeated. The Brit ish then got access to all the major cities of China, even Shanghai, and drugs flowed all over. The British do not disclose this aspect of their history, which shows how they got China addicted to drugs and how they spread their own western civilizat ion there. There were Zionists involved in all this, and they had no sympathies towards the Western Christian society. This was the period when the industrial revolution was at its peak in the west. They needed industrial laborers to work. The pace of life ha d become ext remely fast for the times. People were working shifts, industrial goods were being produced, and the western empire was stretched over most
51
The Opium War, also called the Anglo-Chinese War, was the most humiliating defeat China ever suffered. It is perhaps the most sordid, base, and vicious event in European history. By the 1830's, the English had become the major drug-trafficking criminal organization in the world; very few drug cartels of the twentieth century can even touch the England of the early nineteenth century in sheer size of criminality. Growing opium in India, the East India Company shipped tons of opium into Canton which it traded for Chinese manufactured goods and for tea. This trade had produced, quite literally, a country filled with drug addicts, as opium parlors proliferated all throughout China in the early part of the nineteenth century. This traffickin g, it should be stressed, was a criminal activity after 1836, but the British traders generously bribed Canton officials in order to keep the opium traffic flowing. The effects on Chinese society were devastating. In fact, there are few periods in Chinese history that approach the early nineteenth century in terms of pure human misery and tragedy. In an effort to stem the tragedy, the imperial government made opium illegal in 1836 and began to aggressively close down the opium dens. In 1839, the emperor issued 39 articles which imposed extremely severe punishments, including death, for smoking and trading opium. When Lin gave the order that Canton should be completely closed to foreign trade, the British opened hostilities and started the Opium War. China, with its backward army, was overwhelmed and backed down. Commissioner Lin was recalled in disgrace and sent to exile in the Northwest. The first of the unequal treaties, the Treaty of Nanjing was signed. The Opium War, which lasted from 1840 to 1842, ended with China losing in shame.

parts of the world. In such conditions, when people needed to rest and sleep, they introduced drugs into the western society and prescribed these ‗medicines‘ for relaxation, just as people take drugs or smoke with a pretence to ‗relax‘ today. They researched and introduced opium and its pharmaceutical derivatives into the market. It is surprising to know that heroin was made fro m opiu m as a pharmaceutical drug , by mixing opium with acetic anhydride. Even cocaine was developed in their laboratories. As they had been newly introduced in Europe there were no drug laws to prevent their circu lation. For almost 60 years therefore, doctors, clinics and pharmaceutical co mpanies were advertising cocaine, morph ine, heroin etc. in A merican and European newspapers! During those times people were not aware of the long term negative effects of drugs. Whenever a new product is introduced into a society, it takes almost 20 to 30 years to make obvious its reaction, side effects, the social violations it causes etc. The European and American societies started adop ting these drugs, and by the 1920s thousands of people in the West were addicted to them. The crime mafia syndicates that were supplying them were primarily Jewish. Any research would prove them to be Jewish syndicates. The Russian mafia was Jewish, the New Yo rk mafia was Jewish and the East India Co mpany was the primary supplier. When the Brit ish defeated the Chinese and put them on drugs, China also became the hub of global opium production and the source of the drugs being distributed throughout the world. Drugs were banned in American and European societies during the 1920s when the civ il societies and relig ious communities here carried out numerous protests once they realized and understood their harmful effects. People demanded a comp lete ban. No w, when there is such a huge supply of a commodity and a correspondingly huge demand for it in the consumer market, and then one day it is banned, it does not become ext inct; it goes underground. This was the period when underground drug syndicates were being formed. The drug mafias emerged when legalized drugs were made illegal overnight. Fro m then on till today, the trade of illegal drugs that is spread around the world is conducted by illegal underground cartels. All p resent-day economies deal in three co mmodities worth billions of dollars. The major one is energy. Oil deals are worth trillions of dollars. The second is weapons, which are traded in billions and trillions of dollars around the world. Both of them are legal markets, and their trade and exchange is done in the open, over the table. The third major co mmodity is drugs. The UN estimates that they constitute an economy of around 500 billion to 1 trillion dollars. When there is such a huge market, and it is underground and controlled by crime mafia, one can only
92
Economic Terroris m
imagine the extent of the mafia‘s power and how it can control the people and the banking system. Where do all these dollars go? They are recycled through the western Zionist banking system. The drugs were being illegally produced in China and other countries in the Far East such as Thailand, Burma, Laos and Vietnam. If one observes, these were the regions that were in conflict with commun ism after World War II. First the French went into Vietnam, and then the Americans entered Burma, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. The whole region itself was called ―The Go lden Triangle‖ because of the cultivation of drugs there. The CIA was supporting the local guerillas that were fighting against communism. It is quite apparent that the CIA is the world‘s largest drug cartel, d rug dealer, drug manipulat ing agency and drug transporting agency , and carries out these activities under the pretext of ‗fundraising‘. This has been proven and there are books written on this subject (The Polit ics of Hero in). Drug money is not something that has an audit or account, nor does it need any approval fro m the Congress. The secret account that has been allotted to the CIA to pressurize and overturn governments around the world, and to prepare forces for covert operations with the approval of the US law, is based on the drug economy. They launched an airline in Vietnam known as ―Air America‖, on the pretext of supporting the militia there. However the actual task of the airline was to carry drugs being exported by the guerillas that were fighting co mmunists in these countries, and sell them to the international drug cartels. The CIA is a crime syndicate. It was established for these reasons. The mandate of the CIA was to operate crime gangs, terrorist outfits and all such organizations that spread destruction and terror around the world. Al l the activities that cannot be carried out legally accord ing to western law, like the instigation of revolutions, transportation of drugs from one place another etc, are organized by the CIA. For examp le in the 70s and 80s , during the time of the Iran–Iraq war, it was supporting the ‗Contra Rebels‘, a revolutionary group in Nicaragua that was initiat ing opposition in different parts of the country. Iran at the same time needed missiles and rockets, and was looking for weapon dealers in the black market. The CIA also needed money to support the Contra Rebels spreading revolution in their country, and provided the Iranians weapons to fight Iraq. This was a very famous case known as the ‗Iran-Contra affair‘
52
52
In U.S. history, the Iran-Contra Affair is the secret arrangement in the 1980s to provide funds to the Nicaraguan contra rebels from profits gained by selling arms to Iran. The Iran-contra affair was the product of two separate initiat ives during the
93
Economic Terroris m
During the Iran-Iraq war they sold weapons to Iran and made huge profits. They kept some for themselves and bought arms with the rest and supplied them to the contra rebels of Nicaragua, South America. The American government had placed sanctions on Iran and no American co mpany was allowed trade with Iran during that time. The CIA, however, wanted the Iran-Iraq war to continue, and they helped Iran in the process. The enemy of the enemy was their friend. On the other side many of their agents got caught in Lebanon; Hezbollah kidnapped them. Iran offered to mediate in return for weapons. Basically all these were illegal operations as far as American law was concerned, but the CIA funded the whole business with drug money. All the extensive operations from Vietnam to South America were sponsored by drugs. This is one of the CIA‘s very old and established methods , which does not showcase any morals. Tons of cocaine, heroin and hard drugs were delivered to Europe, America and other countries of the world in the CIA transport aircraft, ‗Air A merica‘, through clandestine undertakings. These are recorded facts.
administration of President Ronald Reagan. The first was a commitment to aid the contras who were conducting a guerrilla war against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. The second was to placate ―moderates‖ within the Iranian government in order to secure the release of American hostages held by pro-Iranian groups in Lebanon and to influence Iranian foreign policy in a pro-Western direction. Despite the strong opposition of the Reagan administration, the Democratic-controlled Congress enacted legislation, known as the Boland amendments, that prohibited the Defense Dept., the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or any other government agency from providing military aid to the contras from Dec., 1983, to Sept., 1985. The Reagan administration circumvented these limitations by using the National Security Council (NSC), which was not explicitly covered by the law, to supervise covert military aid to the contras. Under Robert M cFarlane (1983–85) and John Poindexter (1985–86) the NSC raised private and foreign funds for the contras. This operation was directed by NSC staffer M arine Lt. Col. Oliver North. M cFarlane and North were also the central figures in the plan to secretly ship arms to Iran despite a U.S. trade and arms embargo.

Tipu Sultan We will now go back into history and discuss Tipu Sultan of India. There is an aspect of Tipu Sultan that presented heroic resistance against the expansion of the British East India Co mpany. He deployed many military, polit ical and diplo matic strategies which were not used by any rulers before him, Mughal or otherwise. It is important to study him because he organized such resistance against the British for the first time. By location, Bengal is in the east and Mysore in the south. In 1757 after Siraj ud Dau la was defeated and Bengal was robbed of its resources, the Brit ish turned their attention towards other areas such as Mysore. Haider Ali, Tipu‘s father, was the ruler of Mysore at the time. If we analy ze history thoroughly it was also the time when the American war o f Independence, led by George Washington, was being fought against the British across the Atlantic. The British Emp ire was also fighting for colonial expansion in India. This is 53
a phenomenon known as ―Imperial Overstretch‖ ; when the imperial superpower overestimates itself, and is rendered unable to capture and maintain hold over everything. The British had two options; to either concentrate on America or on India. They were experiencing strong resistance from the Americans and were gradually suffering defeat; they lost 13 colonies on the east coast. They were so intensely affected by this loss that an urgency developed in the British Empire, and they decided to concentrate on the Indian subcontinent. A point of interest here is that the Americans were so impressed by the resistance to the British exhibited by Haider Ali and Tipu Sultan in India, that they named one of their battle ships ‗USS Haider Ali‘ as both their enemies were the same. It is highly amusing to hear of an American battle ship called Haider Ali. Though Haider A li was illiterate, he was valiant, courageous, sensible and a man of honor. He brought up his son Tipu, providing h im with the highest education. Tipu was a scholar, a judge and a proper statesman. Tipu‘s
53
Imperial overstretch is the extension of an empire beyond its ability to maintain or expand its military and economic commitments.
95
Economic Terroris m
strategies of resistance were so commendable that one will not find anyone like h im anywhere in India during that time. Tipu was aware of Bengal‘s plight, and how the British were responsible for it. He also knew the Mughal Emp ire was getting weaker, and the Mughals could not give him any assistance. Tipu Sult an then sent his messengers for help to the Ottoman Emp ire, which was a strong Muslim empire at the time. However when the messenger reached Istanbul, he died there. His grave is still there in Istanbul, and it is engraved on it that he was the messenger of Tipu Sultan who came fro m India to get help. After this, Tipu extended trade relations and established trade routes with China. He imported the complete methodology of manufacturing silk fro m there and there are silk factories in Mysore even today. He established overseas trading posts in the Gulf of Arabia. The global balance of power was shifting at the time and the English were mounting high. Tipu was establishing the weapons industry and imp rovising military technology, and he invited the French for assistance. With their help he developed rifles with the flint-lock technology that was better than what the British had. He set up a naval fleet, and its ships were used to carry out trade and protect the coastline. Tipu deployed the best of military and diplo matic strategies. Due to ill fate however, Muslim civilizations at the time were on the verge of decline. Corruption within the government, plots from by the Marathas and treachery by Mir Sadiq of Bengal speedily brought about the fall of Tipu Su ltan, and he was defeated by the British. Upon the martyrdom of Tipu Sultan in 1799, the English general stood by his body and declared that on this day, India had become theirs. Before, they had still been unsure whether or not they could capture India. Tipu Sultan‘s death signaled a total victory for them. The British knew that the Mughal Emp ire was cru mb ling and there was now no Muslim leader or general left in India who could stand against Brit ish military expansion. Tipu Sultan‘s military strategy was so flawless that if he had not been cheated from within, he would have changed the course of history. He made major global alliances with nations such as China, France, the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East etc, developed technologies, established trading routes and initiated organized opposition to the British East India Co mpany. Allah however had already deemed it the Muslims‘ fate to suffer decline and enslavement. After Tipu‘s death, the British became free to do whatever they wished and so they plundered, robbed, and spread chaos. The fact to be underlined here is the importance of Tipu Sultan‘s preparations; his training and his vision, which was instilled in him by his father. These were not focused on at the time at all.

The period 1757 – 1857 was a very distressing one as millions of people were killed during this time. At the same time, there were the Opium wars between China and Britain. After the second Opium war, Ch ina was totally ruined. For almost the next 100 years, the entire Chinese nation was completely addicted to drugs , and could not escape fro m them. In summary, the East India Co mpany was a drug dealer which destroyed China by selling drugs there and making huge profits out of it. It then realized the great money-making potential of drugs and propagated them into Europe and America , and by the next 60 years, 1850 – 1910, they had introduced drugs into these two economies. The Americans and the Europeans began to face the same conditions as the Chinese were facing. Jewish commun ities in foreign countries have always been separate with settlements of their own. All their institutions are separate from the mainstream. A scrutiny of The Protocols of Learned Elders of the Zion reveals that they have categorically mentioned that they will destroy the children of later generations and communities of nonJews, and will protect their own nation‘s children fro m all the evil they spread. They target the whole world and its peoples with their nefarious designs, but do not involve their own in any of this. They restrict themselves specifically to their business. They plan clandestine operations around the world in order to survive. They are busy in surveillance, trad ing, selling weapons, overturning governments etc. They have gotten humanity addicted to drugs; and submerged it in wealth, trade, corruption, deception, the Zionist banking system and usury. They have caused the entire world to beco me tangled in such pursuits, and kept themselves safe at the top. The Jews profited fro m the region encompassed by the golden triangle. After 1979 when the CIA got the chance to enter Afghanistan, they managed to procure yet another region where they could start the cultivation and produ ction of drugs. During the Afghan Wars they created numerous assets there who could supply and deliver drugs , make profit for them and support their clandestine operations with that money. The funding did not consist of drug money only, but a substantial amount of it was involved. Big drug dealers came into Pakistan and nearby areas. Opium was now an Afghan product. Opiu m becomes heroin after being mixed with a chemical called acetic anhydride. Th is chemical is manufactured in Europe and America. One strange occurrence has to be noted here; whenever the West operates in this area, they buy containers of this chemical fro m Europe and around the world, and send them to Afghanistan through the transit trade. Pakistan has a
97
Economic Terroris m
54
transit trade agreement
with Afghanistan. Tons of acetic anhydride is shipped in containers that come to Pakistan
and go on to Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass, without being opened and checked. Now the question is, does Europe not know why this acetic anhydride goes to Afghanistan? Another important point that has to be understood here is that if the security forces of Pakistan were not vigilant about these drugs coming into the country and seizing and burning them, then each child in Pakistan would have been smoking hero in cigarettes. For examp le, during the invasion by the Soviet Union, a large factory was set up in Afghanistan for the production of drugs. The Afghan economy was destroyed and people were starving. During wars, when there is an archy everywhere and food is not available, people move towards drugs without a choice, and it becomes a major problem for them. Th is was also a trap laid down by the West. They cultivated drugs and got the Russian army addicted to them. Tons of drugs were s muggled into Russia and Central Asia through the Russian army. The disintegration of Russia was largely due to the drugs the army was addicted to , due to which it was not fighting. Russian soldiers used to exchange ammunitions for drugs; this was a common scenario. Also, the CIA-sponsored drug cartels got an extra source of income fro m A fghanistan for their secret operations. Yet another important aspect to be noted is that under the Taliban rule, 1995-2001, opiu m production decreased to almost zero. These are UN recognized figures. Countries accuse the Taliban of making profits by dealing in drugs. If that is true then why on earth would they put a ban on opium production during their regime?

The Afghan Transit Trade Agreement, 1965, [Kabul, the 2nd M arch, 1965] Agreement between the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Government of the Kingdom of Afghanistan for regulation of traffic in transit. Article-I: The Contracting Parties undertake in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to grant and guarantee to each other the freedom of transit to and from their territories.

Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran are now called ―The Golden Crescent‖. For the first time in his tory the production of drugs has completely co me down to zero in this region, and this was achieved by the Taliban. As soon as the Taliban rule ended in Afghanistan, the English went in and resumed the cult ivation of drugs in those areas where NATO and American presence was strong. Today, the Afghanistan drug economy has reached approximately 150 b illion dollars. The CIA is deliberately making Afghanistan cultivate drugs , and it has major strategic objectives. They devastated the Russian civilizat ion in the same way. These drugs are being exported to China and all the Muslim nations to destroy their civ ilizations, cultures, foundations and relig ion in order to make them passive towards the wars they are initiating. Similarly they are sending drugs to Central Asia and the Russian countries; there is currently a major drug crisis in Russia. Drugs are also being distributed among the farmers in Afghanistan. Only less than 5% however go to America now and the rest of the 95% are sent to other countries. The 150 b illion dollar economy that the crime syndicates are generating is fed into the Western Zionist banking system. The West accuses other nations for small mistakes, but they themselves do the same on a much larger scale. There is no bank in the world that is not involved in drug money laundering, no bank that is not surviving on drugs. The western banking system exists on this money. The CIA organizes its international operations and is destroying civilizat ions with this money. Drug pathways are also the routes for AIDS to follow i.e. through injections and immo ral means. When the CIA, the entire economic industry, the pharmaceuticals and the Zionist banking system support drug trafficking, how is it possible to contain it, even if our soldiers are trying their best? On one side they spend some millions to show us that they are doing something to control drug trafficking and on the other side they invest billions of dollars and earn the money back through drug trade. Some do understand what is happening and are fighting against it, but the outcome of their efforts is very slight. They destroy nations by maintain ing control over the economy, money supply, food supply, and by getting the population hooked to drugs. In the same way, they turned the Chinese into drug addicts for 100 years after the Opiu m Wars. Only after Mao Zedong came into power in 1948 was something done. He killed and imp risoned all the drug dealers, drug traffickers etc. China was clean within two to three years. Strict action must be taken against
99
Economic Terroris m
drugs, and drug traffickers. First and foremost those western companies must be dealt with that sell the chemical acetic anhydride to Afghanistan that is used in the drugs. There are some nations that deal with drug trafficking severely, like Saudi Arabia. It has become a white collar crime here and is actually peddled by the local people. It is difficult to enforce these penalties and drug trafficking can be restricted only to a certain extent in a community. With the huge amounts of money caught up, the degree of government involvement, the level at which the western Zionist banking system is involved and direct interference fro m secret agencies like the CIA, it cannot be eradicated completely. A lso, to use drugs to destroy nations is a part of their strategy. This strategy that the East India Co mpany developed against China is now a fu ll-fledged war sponsored by the CIA, Jewish syndicates and the Zionist banking system. The drug dealers that are caught an d handed over to America are set free after a few weeks. This is a known fact because they are on the CIA payroll and have mutual deals, and are friends and partners in that business. Each and every one of their banks is involved in money laundering. Strict responses, however, can be developed against this.

Responses to the Zionist system We have exposed the wicked and deceitfu l faces of this System of Ku fr. We have discussed all the aspects by means of wh ich the Zionist system, over the last 200-300 years, has taken control of wealth and food supplies, spread chaos and anarchy around the world, spread diseases, wars, murders and massacres amongst the population, and destroyed societies and generations. All that has taken place within the last 200-300 years has never happened before in the history of mankind. These are unprecedented events. These are incidents which are related to the Order of Dajjal. This is the age that our nations have been warned about by all our Prophets (A). According to the Hadeeth books, Rasoolullah (hubp ) has warned the Muslims of this era. Circu mstances are so unusual that our classical ru les, imp lemented as solutions to different situations by Muslim scholars centuries ago, cannot be applied here. During our ancestors‘ times, when someone took an issue to the scholars, he would be asked whether the particular issue was actually being faced at the time . If it was, they would try to resolve it with wisdom, and if not, they would say that the scholars of the time when the problem actually came up would deal with it. They used to limit themselves to those crises taking place in their o wn times only. This is the reason why our deen has ijt ihaad, qiyaas, ijma‘a etc. As and when the times change, Muslims should try to resolve issues on the basis of the Quran and Sunnah. Today, however, we have no comparisons for this unprecedented era in Islamic history, or even human history in general. Never before in the history of mankind has it happened that the whole world was based and operating on a fake paper and digital currency. Never before has wealth been completely snatched away fro m the nations of the entire world in exchange for useless paper, by those controlling the banking system. The co mplete wealth of the Muslim nations has never before gone into the hands of the Jews and Zionists. It is similar to a hypothetical situation where the Ottoman Empire deposits its wealth, and the wealth of other states, in the hands of some Western Christians and Jews; or if the Mughal dynasty extracts the wealth from the entire nation and gives it to some powerfu l foreign nation. It is totally beyond the boundaries of comprehension. All those empires and kingdoms used to keep their wealth within the country. Never in history has it happened that each and every citizen in Muslim states took loans and was immersed in debt.

We will not get much guidance from fatwas for dealing with this unique era that we are in. We have to hold strong to the Quran and Sunnah. Rasoolullah (hubp ) has advised us - ―bite them with your mo lars‖
55
. We must extract
wisdom fro m this and make a way for ourselves. We have to follow the path shown to us by Allah through our Prophet (hubp ), who has defined rules as to how a Muslim nation, co mmunity and government should function. We have to pave a path for ourselves in today‘s battlefield , keeping all these conditions and historical incidents in front of us to draw comparisons, and bearing in mind all those atrocities against us that have been made evident. Today the Muslims are not very powerful as a co mmunity or a nation. Moreover our wealth is in the hands of the Zionists. All the foreign exchange reserves of the Muslim states are either in dollars or Euros , deposited in foreign banks. This is the reason why it is an unparalleled crisis; we will not be able to find a single time in Islamic h istory for co mparison, when Muslim wealth was in the hands of the Jews. The Jews are controlling Muslim societies, our cultures, our media and our strength, and are thus altering the fate of our nations. We need to start developing a response. We must remember, however, that this will not be a spontaneous response. A person would naturally react by showing anger and frustration, and experience an internal dilemma over what to do next in this situation. People then become radical and aggressive, and start destroying whatever they see in front of them. This Order of Kufr will not change with such reactions and behavior. A comprehensive response strategy h as to be developed to change the system. We have to move forward step by step, and recognize their centre of grav ity through which they are running this whole system. We need to realize and assess our weaknesses, understand our strengths, as well as analyze their power and start developing responses one by one, so that we can approach the communit ies exerting a strong hold on our society steadily and consistently, and break them down one by one. Although many insist that we must be expedient in this matter, our response to change the scenario cannot be made or carried out in a hurry. The steps are not in a sequence of dos and don‘ts, as the responses that have to be developed are very much dependent on the actions and knowledge of a community, and character of a nation. Whatever responses that will be discussed and recommended here are possible to imp lement, and very much achievable. The Zionist ruling system is not as strong as it appears. It has been decisively proven, through the

Hadith from Abu Dawud.

previous discussions, that this sys tem is butchering itself with its own dagger. We simply have to prepare ourselves for the moment when this system finally commits suicide. When this happens, we should already have a functioning system with us on the side, so that their breakdown will not affect us; then we will be able to take our civilization back to its glory and establish a just economic, social, mo ral, religious and judicial system. This would indeed be a comprehensive response strategy, and the solutions it provides would be radical. Let us not reject it instantly, because when we start presenting solutions, the generations that have been born into this kufr system, who are used to this banking system and the paper currency , who cannot imag ine that an alternative system that was followed by humans for thousands of years previously could be re-established, will certainly present opposition. Major human civilizations survived in history. They were successful and did not work on loans and usury. They dealt in real wealth and gold coins. They did not run on paper currency, a fractional banking system or the Federal Reserve. Why can‘t we repeat this again? They try to convince us through the media, the education system and the banking system to forget about this alternative system, and make us accept that it can never be established again. We have neither forgotten nor will we let the people forget. The sole aim of our life is that we establish a just system, not just for Muslims but for the whole of humanity, as humanity is in distress right now. Are the people of Africa, Europe, A merica and around the world not trapped in this kufr system of the Zionists; are they not suffering too? Today the situation in Zimbabwe is such that if one wants to buy an egg one has to pay 100,000 units of currency; the bill for eat ing at a restaurant comes to 500,000,000. Due to the paper currency system, it has become easy for them to devalue the currency of the nation that they need to control and destroy. This system is completely unacceptable to us. We have to risk everything and try our best to change it. Today many think that Islam does not have its own economic system, and try to compare the Islamic econo mic system with the existing co mmunist, socialist, capitalist economic systems. Islamic capitalism, Islamic socialis m etc. have been discussed. Islam is exclusive and does not have any relation whatsoever with the capitalist system. So me exclusive aspects of Islam are p resent in the capitalist system, and even in socialis m. However this does not mean that we need to borrow elements from capitalis m or socialism to complete the Islamic system. The foundation of the existing capitalist system is based on some features which expose numerous deficiencies when compared to the economic system of Allah and the Prophet (hubp ). We cannot run them together in any situation. We will have to settle for one type of system. If we remove the aspect of interest from the capitalist system, it will not remain a
103
Economic Terroris m
capitalist system anymore. However, even if we do that, there is still a lot exp loitation and destruction integrated into that system. In any case it cannot be compatible with the fit rah and Shariah of Islam. Now we co me to the environment in wh ich we live today. Rasoolullah ( hubp ) has warned us about present times. There is a hadeeth which explains that there will co me a time when there will be no man left who is not trapped in the system of riba; and even if there was a person who did not take interest, ‗smoke‘ fro m riba would reach h im. For example, even if a person is not actively smoking he is affected by people smoking around him. We live in such an atmosphere. No one is outside the limits of the riba system; whether he be under the capitalist economy or socialist economy or in the Muslim countries, no matter if he is a God fearing person or a sinner. This is a first-time development in the history of mankind. Each and every one is trapped because all of them use paper currency and the banking system. The best of Muslims are forced and have no choice but to remain within and use this system. Muslim nations like Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia etc are trying their best, but even so they are forced to be a part of it and use this banking system and paper currency. They yearn to earn a halaal inco me but the smoke of usury reaches them too. Our govern ments store their wealth as foreign exchange and receive interest on it. When people work in their companies and offices, they are earning halaal inco me, but the min istries in wh ich they work have interest based accounts. This, therefore, is an unprecedented scenario in which classical fatwas cannot be applied. Now if we generally categorize the members of this society we will find three types of people: People who are at the foundation of this system of usury , and work conscientiously to firmly establish it. These include the Zionists and people like them within the Muslim countries. Those who are good and respectable human beings , but are forcedly trapped in this system that has been built around them for the last 200-300 years. Even if they wanted to earn halaal income, the smoke of riba touches them. People who are also trapped in this s ystem but are working hard and trying their best to change this system– sometimes by spreading awareness, through jihad, and by suggesting alternative economic systems. For examp le: three people have fallen into the sea. Allah always deals with a person ac cording to his intention and his response. One of them begins to bath in the sea, the second is stuck there and unable to do anything, and the third
104
Economic Terroris m
one is trying with all his might to save himself as well as his brother from the sea. All three are not the same in the eyes of Allah. Thus when we talk about responses we have to first make our intentions pure and act accordingly. We need to reorganize our focus and thought process es. We need to ask ourselves if we are happy with this system and whether we want to be a part of it. We must ponder and see whether we have decided that this system cannot be changed. Should we continue to remain with in it, and insist that whatever solutions have to be developed should be formulated fro m this standpoint? In that case we become a part of the conspirators who are maintaining this kufr system. There are those who are helpless and cannot do anything but can at least voice an opinion, and declare that this system is ruthless and downright bad. Then again there are those who will make an organized attempt to change this system and will take high risks to achieve this. The kufr system works like the mentality of the Pharaoh. When Pharaoh came to realize that a child will be born who would be a threat to his existence, he ordered the killing of thousands of children to get rid of that one child. This system with a currency bearing the symbol of the Pharaoh‘s grave and the eye of the Dajjal is brutal. It is not going to let go its hold easily when it realizes that there is an uprising of strong believers who are educating people, creating awareness, developing a response and actually planning to raid its centre of gravity. It will undoubtedly react and that reaction could be on a regional, national or even global level.

How to change this system whilst staying within it? The Prophet Muhammad ( hubp ) left behind the Quran and his Sunnah (his trad itions and methodologies). Through his Sunnah, the Prophet (hubp ) has taught us the method of attempt ing to change the kufr system wh ilst staying inside it. Such incidents are a part of our h istory. Rasoolullah ( hubp ) used to perform Tawaaf
56
around the Ka‘abah
in Makkah wh ich housed 360 idols during the Makkan period. The Prophet (pbuh) and the Muslims did not agree with them being there; but they still used to perform Tawaaf. These idols were only destroyed once the Muslims gained sound military strength, and defeated the disbelievers during the conquest of Makkah. They then entered the city magnanimously and broke each and every one of the idols. What wisdom do we gain fro m this incident? If, in the beginning, any sort of reaction had been shown, and the Muslims had started a revolution or a war, they would most certainly have been defeated instantly as they were a small co mmunity. Not only did the Muslims tolerate the torture and persecution with endless patience and perseverance, but they had also built a response strategy. The plan was laid in front of the Muslims. A core team was formed b y the Prophet (hubp ). The members of the team were very dedicated and had a clear vision of the path and the goals that they had to achieve. They paved their way with wisdom. They did not compro mise their values and their relig ion in any situation and they did not put themselves in danger without any reason. The 13 years in Makkah constituted the period of passive resistance for Muslims. They did not wage wars, or physically fight with the enemies. However, after that the situation changed and an Islamic State was developed that took 9 years to collect itself. An army was built and battles were fought. The economic system was also made during that process and a brotherhood was formed. A trustworthy socioeconomic system was created and in the end, when the Conquest of Makkah took place and the Muslims took over their original place of worship, came the decisive time when they could break the idols placed in the Ka‘abah.

How did people manage to carry bags of gold and silver? People dealt in gold and silver for thousands of years. There were empires like the Otto man Emp ire, Mughal dynasty, Spanish dynasty; and even the non-Muslim dynasties, such as the Persian Emp ire, Ro man emp ire etc. How did they manage? It is just a fake propaganda spread through the media that gold and silver cannot be managed easily, so that we hand over our real wealth to them and they give us fake receipts in return. The large economies that are currently being publicized are fake economies. We have discussed that when they deal in paper currency or digital currency, they actually create money out of nothing. Hence they appear to be very large economies. However, as the saying goes, ‗the bigger they are the harder they fall‘. These economies also collapse violently. If anyone rejected the dollar or tried to change it, the Zionists just destroyed their economies overnight. Their own economies only appear to be stable.
Benefits of gold and silver Muslim scholars have done extensive research on this particular topic. 1400 years ago, during the time of Rasoolullah (hubp ), one chicken was priced at 1 dirham and today if one checks its actual price, it adds up to 1 dirham only. There is zero inflation in 1400 years! If you compare the status of the currency that prevailed then, and that exists now, through the value and worth of gold, then the commodity value is exactly the same. There is an amazing hadeeth of Rasoolullah (hubp ) in Musnad Ahmad, wh ich states that a time will co me upon humanity, when everything will beco me worthless except for the Dirham and Deenar i.e. gold and silver. One point to be noted here is that this hadeeth is reported at a time when there was no currency other than gold and silver; it would have been strange for the people to understand about any other currency and be told that it would become waste. Today we understand the wisdom of this hadith, as an afflict ion ‗upon humanity‘ was specified. For example we discussed the condition of Zimbabwe earlier. The currency is devalued and depreciated overnight. Extracting wisdom fro m this hadith, for the survival of humanity it is only common sense that we go back to the currency that is real wealth, which the Jews and the Zionist bankers are keeping for themselves. Our first response should be returning to the gold and silver standards as they have an inherent value, they cannot be changed, appreciated or depreciated, and a government cannot change their values according to its choices. Even if you bury them under the earth for thous ands of years, their value will not depreciate. Gold will always be gold.

During the early years of Islamic ru le i.e. during the time of the Khulafa-e-Rashideen, the Muslims made use of the gold coins issued by the Persian Emp ire
57
. These could also be used as currency as they were gold. The Muslims
made their own gold and silver coins during the rule of Uthman (ra) and their currency was accepted around the world. It was transferred according to its weight, and the seal on the coin did not make any difference. This is the characteristic of gold and silver coins which carry intrinsic face value. The economy beco mes very unstable when people deal with receipts for the real wealth, and not the real wealth itself. These receipts are worthless against it, now even more so when the paper currency is not backed by real wealth at all. The system of riba that has been spread among humankind is not easy to remove. It is difficult today and was difficult even before 1400 years ago.
57
In the beginning the M uslims used gold and s ilver by weight and the deenar and dirhams that they used were made by the Persians. The first dated coins that can be assigned to the M uslims are copies of silver dirhams of the Sassanian Yezdigird III, struck during the caliphate of Uthman, radiy'allahu anhu. These coins differ from the original ones in that an Arabic inscrip tion is found in the obverse margins, normally reading "in the Name of Allah". Since then t he writing in Arabic of the Name of Allah and parts of Quran on the coins became a custom in all mintings made by M uslims.

The Final Sermon The final sermon that Rasoolullah (hubp ) gave during the Hajjathul-W ida (the Farewell Pilg rimage) was a fundamental declaration of human rights. We will not find such an amazing and comprehensive document anywhere in the world, in the past or in co ming t imes. If each and every element discussed in this sermon is put into practice in communit ies today, then every type of suppression and exploitation would be erad icated and a very just monetary and economic system can be established through which humanity will beco me prosperous. After discoursing about the relig ion‘s basic foundations such as Tawheed (unity of Allah), Prophet -hood, Aqeedah, the Day of Judgment etc. the Prophet (hubp ) emphasized on riba, wh ich is economic exp lo itation. Riba prevails in a materialistic co mmun ity where there is suffering and suppression, conflicts, group riots, selfishness , and no elements of the princip les taught by Allah and the Prophet (hubp ) exist. When we analy ze the final sermon of Rasoolullah ( hubp ) wh ich he preached during his farewell hajj after 23 years of hard work to establish a strong Muslim co mmunity based on laws laid down by Allah, we find that even then there were tribes that had taken interest or given interest-based loans. He mentioned usury and said ‗and all the usury from the pre -Islamic days of ignorance is now remitted, and I will begin by remitting our usury (not his personally, but that which was owed to one of his relatives); all of the usury that is owed to Al ‗Abbas ibn ‗Abdul Muttalib; it is indeed all cancelled ‘
58
. There is much wisdom in this. We are discussing this because the complete
economic system which we are attempting to build would be based on this sermon. The Prophet (pbuh) mentioned that the entire system of usury was being abolished from that day which means it was existent even then. The principles and parameters that he gave them were basically to emphasize the fact that Muslims cannot take riba or give riba. It was not easy to remove. Even the ruling against drinking alcohol came in phases , and it was made haraam gradually. In the course of 23 years, therefore, riba was co mpletely proh ibited. A spiritual society is one where there is love, kindness, good relations amongst the people and they care for the less fortunate. The concept of riba is diametrically opposite this concept. Such a society cannot exist in a system of riba. After prohibiting riba, Rasoolullah ( hubp ) talked extensively about brotherhood and fraternity. He said: ―Know that

every Muslim is the brother of his fellow Muslim. Muslims are brothers unto one another. A nd it is not permissible for a person to take something fro m h is brother other than what this brother gives willingly and with a content heart, so do not wrong your own selves.‖ Allah says:

Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you: that ye may be guided.‘ (A l-Imran : 103) The bond of brotherhood that the Prophet (pbuh) established in the Median society after he migrated fro m Makkah was an amazing concept in itself. The Muhajirs had left all their assets, wealth and property in Makkah and had fled the persecutions for the sake of Allah and the Prophet (hubp ). He made a Muhajir (immigrant) live with an Ansaar (a helper fro m Medina) so that all the Muhajireen would be supported. Allah says:
ََٔ)) ىِيّْفُقَسَاءِ اىََُْٖبجِسٌَِِ اىَرٌَِِ أُخْسِجُ٘ا ٍِِْ ّدٌَِبزٌِِْٕ َٗأٍََْ٘اىٌِِْٖ ٌَجْزَغَُُ٘ فَضْيًب ٍَِِ اىئَِ َٗزِضَْ٘اًّب ٌََّْْٗصُسَُُٗ اىي (( ََُُ٘ٗزَضُٗىَُٔ ۚ أُٗىَٰئِلَ ٌُُٕ اىّصَبّدِق ‗(So me part is due) to the indigent Muhajirs, those who were expelled fro m their homes and their property, wh ile seeking Grace fro m Allah and (His) Good Pleasure, and aiding Allah and His Messenger: such are indeed the sincere ones.‘ (Al Hashr: 8) The Ansaar gave them partnership in their wealth, business homes and took care of them as their own brothers. Allah says:

)) َٗاىَرٌَِِ رَجََ٘ءُٗا اى دَازَ َٗاىْئٌََِبَُ ٍِِْ قَجْيٌِِْٖ ٌُحِجَُُ٘ ٍَِْ َٕبجَسَ إِىٌٍَِْْٖ َٗىَب ٌَجِدَُُٗ فًِ صُدُٗزٌِِْٕ حَبجَخً ٍََِب أُٗرُ٘ا ((ٌََُُُ٘ٗؤْثِسَُُٗ ػَيَ ىٰ أَّّْفُ عٌِِْٖ َٗىَْ٘ مَبَُ ثٌِِْٖ خَّصَبصَخٌ ۚ ٍََِْٗ ٌُ٘قَ شُّحَ َّّفْ عِِٔ فَؤُٗىَٰئِلَ ٌُُٕ اىَُّْفْيِح ‗But those who, before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith, show their affection to such as came to them for refuge, and entertain no desire in their hearts for things given to the (latter), but give them preference over themselves, even though poverty was their (own lot). And those saved from the coveto usness of their own souls; they are the ones that achieve prosperity.‘ (Al-Hashr: 9) These ties of brotherhood were very strong as they were reinforced by faith. For example, during the battle of Badr, the mushrik (pagan) brother of Mus‘ab bin Umair was taken captive by the Muslims. Mus‘ab told his Muslim brothers to keep him tied securely as his mother was very rich and would pay a heavy ransom to get him released. His captive argued claiming that he was Mus‘ab‘s own brother. Mus‘ab replied that they did not have any relations of blood. His brothers were those who believed in Allah and the Prophet ( hubp ). Th is was what defined brotherhood. Thus Rasoolullah ( hubp ) emphasized all this during the final khutbah. He also mentioned that the property, blood 59
and dignity of Muslims are sacred for each other . This means there should be no social and economic exp loitation in the community. The foundation of Muslim society is built on this. Every aspect was touched upon. After talking 60
about the sanctity of a Muslim, the Prophet (pbuh) spoke about the rights of women . We are discussing this because it has a majo r role in our Muslim economic system. He spoke about their inheritance rights, property rights and the permission granted to them to run their own businesses, like his first wife Khadeejah (ra) who was a businesswoman. It is very relevant today. There are issues in the society which are buried so deep that it takes time to dig them out.
Rasoolullah (hubp ) said: ―Verily your blood and your wealth and your honor are sacred upon you like the sacredness of this day and this city and they will remain as such until the day you meet your Lord.‖ 60 Rasoolullah (hubp ) said: ―And fear Allah regarding women, for you indeed took them (to be your wives) by the security of Allah, and you have made lawful their privates parts by the Word of Allah. One of the rights you have over them is that they may not admit anyone into your homes that you dislike; if they do that, you may strike them, but not severely. And one of their rights over you is that you provide their provision and clothing based on Al-M a‘roof.‖ 59
111

In the final khutbah, the charter of human rights and dignity, Rasoolullah ( hubp ) said: ―All man kind is fro m Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a b lack nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action‖ which explains that no black man is better than a white and the vice versa, and any difference is based only on taqwa. Allah says:
َُِ))ٌَب أٌََُٖب اىَْبضُ إَِّب خَيَقَْْبمٌُْ ٍِِْ ذَمَسٍ َٗأُّْثَىٰ َٗجَؼَيَْْبمٌُْ شُؼُ٘ثًب َٗقَجَبئِوَ ىِذَػَبزَفُ٘ا ۚ إَُِ أَمْسٍََنٌُْ ػِْْدَ اىئَِ أَرْقَبمٌُْ ۚ إ (( ٌاىئََ ػَيٌٌٍِ خَجٍِس ‗O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full Knowledge and is well -acquainted (with all things).‘ (AlHujarath: 13) This spiritual concept and parameter that was given was of a society where Islamic rule can be developed. Islamic concepts cannot remain separate or be applied separately fro m a whole co mmunity. They can only be applied in an Islamic society that is spiritual and where the people are ready to follow the rules and instructions of Allah and the Prophet (hubp ). We cannot apply an Islamic society in bits and pieces, and then claim that the Islamic econo mic system or the shariah has been implemented.

The core concepts of an ideal and just Islamic economic system
It would be a spiritual co mmun ity.
The leaders of that community would be the role models .
Their leaders would be of the best people among them.
Their leader would be similar to that of a father figure who takes co mplete and efficient responsibility of that community.
They would be the type of leaders that all and sundry could approach their offices and ask them to exp lain a particular act of theirs in public, and also get answers.
They would be the types of leaders who would rather d ie than spend the nation‘s wealth for personal use. If they were working at night with a lit candle, and someone came to discuss an issue, they would ask first whether it was personal or official. The govern ment‘s candle could not be lit for d iscussing personal issues, and hence, if the discussions were for non-governmental matters, they would ext inguish it.
We would call a society where such conditions of faith and leadership prevail an Islamic society and it would be worthy enough to inculcate and receive the complete rewards of Islam. The core concept in this community is the clear distinction between haraam and halaal. Muslims are very direction conscious. Alcohol and pig meat are not the only commodities that are haraam. All the things like wheat, rice etc. are haraam if they have been earned through haraam means. If a society is not bothered about halaal and haraam, is not ready to abandon the haraam; the sources of income of its people are not clearly defined and if they spend Allah‘s money by cheating; then claims of having established an Islamic economic system are just in vain. The first step is the development of a spiritual co mmunity. Can such an ideal state of affairs exist where honesty, caring, and collective social benefits are the order of the day? Such societies have existed throughout history. We have the examp le of a co mplete society in front of us in the Median society, the Ottoman Emp ire, the Mughal Empire and others. All of these were Islamic societies. There was no riba and interest involved there. The currencies used were real wealth. There was no system of explo itation ; only
113
Economic Terroris m
of justice. They were ideal role models of Islamic co mmunities. The mediu m of e xchange in an Islamic co mmunity should be real wealth. There is no compro mise on that. Paper currency that is not backed by anything is fake and no Islamic economic or social order can be established with such an economic system. We are discussing an Islamic social economic order. It has no relation whatsoever with capitalis m; it is completely different. Capitalis m is based on interest whereas our foundation is on trade. In an Islamic economic system, the circulat ion of wealth in the society is assured; in fact its assurance is obligatory (through trade, charity and distribution). The law that wealth should not be accumulated in a few hands has to be followed. The foundation of capitalis m however, is that a few people control the complete system. It has been clearly declared to us as law that there cannot be central control over wealth; so much so that even the government cannot have complete control over it, as real wealth is distributed in society in such a manner that a person is free. If a farmer has gold coins then a even change of governments does not affect him. Can it be concluded, therefore, that the central bank system, government involvement etc. are not essential for a country? It is not that these are not required. Ho wever the system in which they are present today is haraam and defin itely not required. We have a complete alternative system available to us. First, though, I am just presenting the general ideal environment in an Islamic society. This is a community that does not include riba; it possesses real wealth of which there is equitable distribution; and it is devoid of income tax and collects only savings tax. One of the aspects of the capitalist system is income tax, whereas our system‘s foundation is on savings tax (zakah). The food, water, energy resources and all the elements used for public interes t, cannot be privatized. This is one of the fundamental parameters of an Islamic society. In a capitalist system, they have privatized practically everything, except for oxygen. The situation is such that people have to buy even water to drink. In Islam, natural resources are public property, and the society has a collective o wnership of them. There is a hadeeth, wh ich defines the distribution of the public property. The summary is that fire, water and natural resources will be entirely state property and cannot be privatized. The next element in an Islamic society is the aspect of land reforms, land regulat ion and distribution, and laws concerning agricultural land and its distribution by the state. Inheritance and property rights are clearly defined in
114
Economic Terroris m
our shariah. The capitalist system does not have such a structure. Another element is social justice and food security. The examp le of social justice and social security that has been set during the time of the Khulafa -e-Rashideen is so ideal that even today‘s finest economic system cannot rival it. The Caliph is responsible for each and every part of the state, including the animals so that they do not suffer abuse. Such social justice where even an old lady can question the ruler about his expenditure is difficult to find. Each and every point that we have now discussed clashes severely with the Zionist banking, social, and economic systems. Our economic system is such an ideal role model, the examp les of wh ich have been showcased in our history, that we have absolutely no need to borrow anything from the east or west. On the contrary, if they do have anything positive in their systems, it was borrowed fro m the Islamic economic system. We will not get examp les of how to deal with and break the hold of this system in our history as this banking system and its deceptions have been established for the first time now, which has led to the current unprecedented scenario. Therefore we have to look for solutions from within them and develop them accord ing to today‘s need and situation. Keeping this in mind, we will discuss the centre of gravity of the kufr system and the elements that form its core. The diagnosis that we did earlier has the solutions. For examp le if they want to issue paper currency, we will insist on gold and silver. If they talk about banks we will talk about a Bait ul Maal. If they reco mmend accumu lating wealth, we will propagate its distribution and if they advocate privatization we will counter it by proposing state property. We will have to develop a response to all the elements of the modern capitalist system that they want to implement, and these responses will take the form of an achievable and attainable Islamic society. We will be ab le to claim only then that we have created a just and equitable society based on Islam. Remember that the Islamic economic system cannot be established in isolation. It is a part of the Islamic social order which imp lements social justice, a judicial system and a security policy. When we try to establish such a system wars will be waged against us; there will be low intensity and high intensity conflicts; insurgencies and revolutions will be cooked up against us and governments will be overturned. This is just as we discussed, regarding the similarity to the case of the pharaoh. Whenever a just Islamic system is established, the whole world will follow suit; and they will sense the danger just like Pharaoh felt threatened from a child. They will then react exactly like he did
115

and spread wars and conflicts, and we know what history has to say about that. It will happen again. Perceiv ing all these dangers we have to develop responses; we have no other choice.

The Philosophical background for the upcoming solutions Before suggesting solutions to the aforementioned problems, it is necessary to understand the philosophy of the system. The Zionist banking system that is on the rise was not built in one day. It took a t least 300-400 years. They did not imp lement this system in isolation either. They transformed the foundation, the thought processes and culture of societies into something else comp letely. When we propose to change an economic system with a foundation based on invasion, consumption, exploitation and suppression, we have to be aware of each and every aspect of their co mmun ity. We have to change the thoughts and thinking process of the people, and eliminate it fro m its roots. They create and spread sectarianism, love for the materialistic world, explo itation and the usury system; they spoil relations between people and generate hatred, etc. We have to put a stop to the whole process and transform the co mplete society into a humanitarian society. The issue at present is not just changing the economic policies. First we have to understand the crisis.

An overview of the basic features of this system Unless and until we understand the centre of gravity of this belief, the situation cannot be resolved. The foundation of Islam rests on five pillars – Shahadah, Salah, Sawm, Zakah and Hajj. If you destroy even one pillar, the structure of deen becomes weak and comes toppling down. Similarly, the system of kufr is also based on some pillars. If we can recognize those pillars, it will become easy to develop a response. We can then attack those pillars, weaken and destroy them, and their structure of kufr will shake and come crumbling down. Only then will we be able to create alternatives. We will now su mmarize all the previously discussed issues and come to those aspects which are necessary to form an Islamic society. However we have to understand the philosophical dimension and how to change the culture of a civilizat ion. Un less we inculcate justice and love into the very blood of each indiv idual, an Islamic system cannot be established. It cannot be founded on air; it is established on people. The people therefore have to co-operate to maintain this system.
118

The fundamental pillars on which their system stands The first aspect is that those who maintain their system are mere people, who m we call Freemasons and Zionists. Though the fundamental players are people, they are motivated by shaitaan – they are ‗whom the Evil One by his touch hath driven to madness.‘ They are present among us and in western societies. We have to identify the fundamental people who run this system. We have discussed the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers, and all those who implement the neo-con ideologies today. They are within us too, in our governments, our media, our societies and our education system. Another pillar of this system is paper currency and while it exists, no justice can be established in any nation. Next is their business mechanism according to which they do business, through the paper currency, and establish exploitation around the world through the system of usury i.e. money lending. They give loans to countries and make them debt-ridden which leads to their exp loitation and enslavement. Allah and Rasoolullah ( hubp ) have declared war against those who deal in interest and usury. The concept of slavery itself starts from g iving loans and becoming debt-ridden. They needed a means to spread this system through, and that was provided by their banking system. People deposited gold in these banks. They issued fake currencies for them, took away their gold and cheated them through fractional reserve banking. They needed an institution to run this whole game and called it a ―Ban k‖. The strategy that they have built to stabilize this modern economic system focuses on monopolization and privatization, and pulls money distributed in the stable commun ity and limits and accumulates it in the hands of a few people. They have established monopolies and food cartels to control the food supply; there are 11-12 major food conglomerates that have relations with the west. Similarly, they have established cartels dealing with all the factors related to the progress of a society, such as energy, gold, diamond, food, cement etc. They have monopolized them thus preventing their equal distributions in society. Monopolization and privatization of a nation‘s resources are one of their fundamental strategies , imp lemented through institutions such as the UN, World Ban k, IM F, the Asian Development Bank, the Swiss Bank and all those offshore banks which they use to launder black money into white money. To enslave people who are struggling to keep away fro m their system of usury, they use the system of inco me tax. Income tax, like riba, is also one of their pillars that maintain their system. The system of riba makes people debt-
119
Economic Terroris m
ridden. They also take a part of the income of those people who are not debt-ridden, and are trying to earn through some means by working hard. The objective of a ll this is economic exp lo itation and slavery. These are their fundamental pillars , and the crux of this structure that is used to run the vicious cycle of the Zionist economic system.
120

The Islamic Banking System If solutions containing elements of the kufr system are presented to us, no matter what name is given them, they cannot be called Islamic. If the proposed alternative has Freemasons running the system, runs on paper currency and digital currency controlled by the modern Zionist system and there is no dealing of real wealth involved in it; if it makes use of the banking institution; if fractional reserve banking is employed in it; if this system causes the wealth of that society to be accumulated in the hands of a few people, and the money supply and the money circulation of that community are being controlled by them: such a system cannot be called Islamic . If the banking system is established in a commun ity as a private institution, then the money supply and circulation in that commun ity is controlled by it. If all such pillars of economic exp lo itation exist in a system, then calling that system Islamic or claiming it to be according to Shariah is vindictive to humanity and Islam. We are surprised that our present day thinkers and scholars have declared the modern economic system of paper money to be halaal. For example, if one takes a chicken to a scholar to ask whether it is halaal or haraam, he would declare it halaal; and if one tells him that the money with which it was bought was earned by stealing or other unfaithful means, then the chicken becomes haraam. The system of riba is so widespread that we have reached the situation predicted by Rasoolullah ( hubp ); the smoke of riba reaches even those who do not take riba. We have to develop such an Islamic economic system for Muslims that does not contain any of the pillars of this kufr system. One cannot call a system Islamic just by making some minor changes. If only the concept of not taking interest were Islamic, then their modern banking system too does not take or give interest in the current account; we should be calling that a part of the Islamic banking system. However we are totally against the working of the present Islamic banking system. Banking is only used for money lending, interest and usury. The term ‗banking‘ itself means money lending – riba. Th is is like saying ‗Islamic interest system‘, ‗Islamic alcohol‘ etc. There is no such thing in Shariah and never will be. Th is is just creating confusion. When we speak about changing the mindset, our deen has given us a system to help accomp lish this. We will use our own system and do not need to borrow anything from theirs. Their borro wing and lending of money represents the system of riba.
121

If a man works hard from day in and day out, and is paid in paper money, use of that paper money for that person is halaal. We are by no means denying this, as everyone is trapped in this system. However that does not make paper money legal. It does not have the backing of real wealth and hence can be devalued overnight as it is controlled by the kufr system, wh ich is fake and does not have a Shariah value. Thus paper money does not become ‗legal‘ by itself. We will discuss the solution in four levels:
At an individual level - when one is trapped in this system of kufr and is forced to use this paper money then what responses he should develop.
At community level - responses communities should develop like traders‘ organizations, business communit ies etc.
At government level - the response of the government, which is the prime aspect of imp lementing these solutions. It is very difficult at this level as the government‘s very survival depends on the stability of the modern Zionist economic system. Govern ments have stored their wealth in foreign exchange reserves as foreign currencies; this is the bank of the d isbelievers. This means that the wealth of Muslims has been given to the disbelievers. We will however d iscuss the responses to be applied at this level, and if any government wants to implement them, it can do so.
At an international level – this includes the responses that Muslim governments can implement, alone or along with other Muslim governments, or the non-Muslim governments trying to work against this kufr system.
There are many other nations and governments that are trying to develop responses against this modern capitalist system, like Cuba, Venezuela etc. These responses are being discussed even within the American society; we talked about Ron Paul and Kennedy who took a stand against the modern Zionist banking system. We Muslims should co operate even with these non-Muslim countries so that the Islamic economic model, that is being developed to weaken the system of kufr , can gain more strength. Go ing back to the Islamic Banking System, there are so many banks that clearly belong to the Jews and Zionists. Citibank and the Bank of A merica could be cited as examp les . Now if these banks open a window for Islamic
122
Economic Terroris m
banking then there is nothing more artificial or ironic. Many Muslims around the world have created such banks, procuring fatwas and claiming them to be Shariah-co mp liant, involving Musharakah, Mudarabah etc. in wh ich we do business deals on the basis of partnership, or we do business in those commodities wh ich are not haraam in themselves (النفس
) فى, i.e. not containing alcohol, riba etc. The dealings of these banks are highly suspicious.
Muslims are trying to form Islamic institutions and advance towards an Islamic order. Ho wever, we cannot use the term ‗Islamic Bank‘ for this, just as we cannot call a current account an Islamic account simp ly because it does not involve taking or paying interest. This is a mere sugar coating because paper currency is still used, and this is a part of their kufr system. There are so many Islamic banks that keep their money in interest based banks and earn interest on it. They are called Islamic banks only because they use the depositors‘ money in those businesses that are not haraam in themselves . They invest it in property, land, factories etc. To feel satisfied that we have made an Islamic economic model through all this is just a misconception and deception. We emphasize that this remains the system of kufr . We are attempting to make a model; but as long as the elements of this system of kufr are present in it and not eliminated, it is not Islamic. Most of the time, Islamic Banks are involved in so-called Fract ional Reserve Banking, wh ich means to give loans of 1000 d irhams when only 100 dirhams are in reserve, even if they are based on Sharakat. However fractional reserve banking and paper currency are the foundation of the modern banking system. There are many institutions and even some Islamic banks that are owned by Zionists and Freemasons to make fools of Muslims. In today‘s world, under the existing environ ment, we can accept people‘s attempts to move towards an Islamic system; but accepting only a slightly changed system to be completely Islamic to the extent of using the term ‗Islamic bank‘ can not be agreed with. Islamic interest, Islamic bars, Islamic alcoholis m, Islamic money lending, Islamic riba etc do not exist. We should not use these terms. If people deal with these banks by only keeping a current account, we have to understand and sympathize with them as all of us are trapped in this system without a choice, and are try ing our best to earn halaal income and have as litt le to do as possible with this system of ku fr . Therefore we cannot use generalized fat was here. These are all unprecedented crises. The Muslim nations have not faced such a crisis in these 1400 years. We have to take every issue at a case-to-case basis. Muslim scholars and intellectuals need to closely examine each one of these
123
Economic Terroris m
terminologies and concepts , and the media should discuss them. This is a great challenge. This is the same situation as when we discussed about going to a scholar to ask about a chicken being halaal or haraam. They would say ‗halaal‘ without realizing that the money with which the chicken was bought as well as the elements that are behind it are totally haraam. Those elements are the fundamental pillars of the system of kufr . The Muslims are falling short here as we do not understand the system of fractional reserve banking and there are no debates raised on this topic to promote understanding of it. There is a confusion created over this. It is just an attempt to comfort ourselves that something Islamic is being done whilst dealing in these banking systems. It is not a sin for a common Muslim. It has been told to him by the government, the bank and this system that this is right and so he continues investing in it. This is why we have familiarized you with their pillars . As long as their pillars remain in this system or even one of them is present in any organization, then it is not Islamic; it may be just a step towards establishing an Islamic model. If we put even one drop of impurity into milk, it does not remain pure. We are emphasizing this because Muslims are being misled. They are being cheated on purpose. We need a radically different system because the present system cannot be reformed. Muslims in the west wanted to pull away fro m the system of riba, so the Jewish bankers developed a new scheme to pull out the Muslims‘ funds and assets that were being shifted into real wealth, trading and circulation. They started inviting Muslims, especially fro m Eu rope and America, proposing shariah-comp liant banking. The banks proposed to do business on the Muslims‘ behalf and give them profits. It was important for them that the fundamental concept of Muslims carrying out trade amongst themselves had to be broken. Riba and trade are diametrically opposite concepts. Therefore the Zionists planned to draw all the money towards themselves in the name of Islamic banking, Islamic interest etc. Their major banks are opening Islamic windows for th is purpose. We did not initiate any trend by ourselves. Our present democracy, economic order, political order, legal order etc. all came fro m the west. If this banking system was actually an Islamic one it would have destroyed the foundations of the banking system of the disbelievers. When the root of the system of kufr is wounded, then no disbeliever will tolerate this Islamic banking system. If they are tolerating it now and opening Islamic windows in their banks , then remember that it is not Islamic; it is just a screen in front of reality- both systems are the same thing.

Attempts to come up with solutions have been going on for a long time. We are essentially a frag mented society, and do not agree on many matters as we have different schools of thought. Even before we reach a solution, we get caught up in different problems. Can we overcome all these issues and reach a solution? We can prove that a nation is made to get caught up in such issues , so that there is no discussion on the main fundamental pillars. If you have noticed, until today, whenever there were any discussions on these issues these 8-9 fundamental p illars were never d iscussed. The discussions were always on Mudarabah, Musharakah; whether so and so was shariah-comp liant or not; is it riba or not etc. It is narrowed down to such discussions. There is no Islamic school of thought which will allo w the system of usury or argue that paper currency is halaal, legalize the Zionist banking system, or claim that there should be Islamic e xp loitation and that wealth distribution should be blocked. No scholar will say that the justice system that has been followed for centuries and taught by Rasoolullah ( hubp ) through Quran and Sunnah is not to be imp lemented. They simply do not let us speak on the strategic plan, and always trap us in tactical and operational matters. We have decisively concluded that this system of kufr cannot continue and is not acceptable. Therefore this question of what to do now has an automatic answer. We have to search for an alternative system. The next question would be, is it possible? Again they have created a propaganda that such an endeavor is impossible, as the world has ‗progressed‘ so much that the system of dealing in real wealth and instruments backed by real wealth cannot be revived. They tell us we cannot establish a system that can distribute equal wealth in the societies, and we cannot create such societies where people can survive by accepting Zakah, where there is such prosperity that people then refuse to take Zakah. There are many major economic systems and so many global emp ires so how is it possible for man to go back to that model of an econo mic system, which existed in co mmunit ies for thousands of years so long ago? All th is is a deception and part of the propaganda and informat ion war launched for controlling the people. When people see the immo ral faces which enslave them and lead them towards destruction, then we have no choice but to insist that we have to find an alternative justice. We get a commendable example concerning the Jews fro m A llah in the Quran. When Allah co mmanded the Jews through Musa (A) to sacrifice a cow, instead of carrying out the order, they began arguing about the type of cow,
125
Economic Terroris m
regarding the color, size, eating and drinking habits, etc. They put themselves into difficu lty and Allah became angry (Surah Baqarah: 67-73). When it is clear that riba and interest are haraam, then no discussion remains as to whether to run this interest-based system, or reform it or set up an alternative system. It cannot be reformed; and we cannot accept a system based on it. Therefore, what choice do we have? We have to set up an alternative. We do not want to end up like the Jews. Now regard ing the question whether it can be done; yes indeed, it can be done. One important issue to keep in mind is that you cannot keep the economic system separate from the society. We emphasize this repeatedly as it has been emphasized repeatedly in the Quran. As long as the intentions of people are not pure, and their character is not pure, the society cannot be spiritual and the just economic, social and judicial models cannot be set up. When people question as to how this system will be established, then there are glad tidings fro m A llah in the Quran :
(()) ذَٰىِنٌُْ ٌُ٘ػَظُ ثِِٔ ٍَِْ مَبَُ ٌُؤٍُِِْ ثِبىئَِ َٗاىًٍَِْْ٘ اىْآخِسِ ۚ ٍََِْٗ ٌَزَ قِ اىئََ ٌَجْؼَوْ ىَُٔ ٍَخْسَجًب Such is the admonition given to him who believes in Allah and the Last Day. And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out. (65: 2) Whosoever is devout and pious towards Allah and wants to walk on His path; whosoever entreats Allah that he is fed up with this modern economic system and wishes to establish an alternative economic model but is bothered about the many problems and hurdles; then Allah says that He will make way s for him. However the believer should make an attempt from his side and strive for the goal because most probably impossible things are only those which have never been tried. One cannot just claim that ‗it is impossible‘ and not even attempt to bring a change.
ٍ))ٌََٗسْشُقُْٔ ٍِِْ حٍَْثُ ىَب ٌَحْزَ عِتُ ۚ ٍََِْٗ ٌَزََ٘مَوْ ػَيَى اىئَِ فََُٖ٘ حَ عْجُُٔ ۚ إَُِ اىئََ ثَبىِغُ أٍَْسِِٓ ۚ قَدْ جَؼَوَ اىئَُ هِمُوِ شًَْء ((قَ دْزًا ‗And He provides for him fro m (sources) he never could imagine. And if anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah ) fo r him. For Allah will surely acco mplish His purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.‘ (65: 3)

Today we might think that we are not going to survive if we decide to take back the foreign exchange reserves and refuse to take the millions of dollars fro m the system of kufr ; but Allah says He will open the treasures of the earth for us and will sustain us through sources we have not even imagined.

Wisdom in the pledge of „Aqabah‟ This was the pledge taken by a delegation of the Ansaars that came fro m Madeenah at the hand Rasoolullah ( hubp ) in ‗Aqabah‘. This was a big turning point in the history of Muslims. I would like to quote a profound incident from this. When the Ansaars arrived in the blanket of the night to pledge to Rasoolullah (hubp ) and started the process, one of their own people interrupted them and said: ―Do you know the significance of the pact that you are entering into with this man? Giv ing him safe passage out of Makkah means parting fro m all A rabs, as well as the death of the best among you. If you fear that your property will be at stake or the lives of your nobles will be endangered, then leave him now, because if you do this after the pledge, it will be degrading for you both in this world and the Hereafter. But if you think that you can carry out what you are called upon to do in spite of the loss of precious lives and property, then undertake this heavy responsibility, and I swear by Allah, that herein is the good of this world and that of the next.‖ They rep lied : ―We have already considered the loss of property and the murder of our not ables, yet we pay him allegiance.‖
61
The world saw how they then fulfilled their pledge. It means that we will have to fight the system of kufr , we will have to sacrifice our life and wealth, we will have to wage wars, we will have hurdles in today‘s easy and luxurious life and there will be d ifficult ies and tensions. The results however are bountiful, and blessings fro m A llah on the Day of Judg ment will be unlimited. People think that just by reciting the Shahadah, becoming a Muslim is quite easy. It is not so in today‘s world of Kufr . It will be literally like keeping burning coal on your hands , as said in the hadeeth. We had a strong leadership at the time, though, and we do not have that kind of a leadership today. That is right. However there are so many things that an individual can do in the world of today; similarly there are so many deeds collective commun ities can achieve, and even the governments can accomplish many feats. An issue to be noted here is that when they developed this exp loitative banking system 300 years ago, it was not the governments that started it. First, their individuals fo rmed co mmunit ies and made institutions, and spread the system in societies slowly. In the same way, we can reverse this process. There will form individuals and then communities

and institutions; then slowly a parallel alternative co mmunity will start developing to counter all their objectives, which make up their pillars. Their system has some fundamental parameters. Whenever you rise against them, whether it is an individual work, or a co llect ive action, they attack with three techniques:
First they attack your sustenance i.e. they slap economic sanctions on to you, create problems for you, and dismiss you from jobs. Sanctions were put on the whole of Iraq . You will certain ly confront problems.
They then attack your dignity, defame you, and create doubts about you in the minds of the people; you will be blamed of siding with dictatorship and face other such problems etc.
When both of the above strategies do not work, then they will wage military war against you. This is their system, and it is similar to that of Pharaoh‘s.
When you go against their system, there is no doubt about the threats from their side; they will defin itely be there at an individual level, co llect ive level and national level. If you have to challenge this syste m, you have to be prepared. Tipu Sultan of Mysore said ―a single day in the life of a lion is better than a thousand years in the life of a jackal ‖.
We have to live with dignity. In any case they will kill the whole population of the world through famine. However we are not directing you towards confrontation. We will present solutions which will slowly and gradually equip us to build appropriate resolutions. If we want to accept and imp lement these solutions, we will have to strengthen our faiths first. If you focus on the Makkan period, Rasoolullah (hubp ) was building characters and creating a society that would take his mission forward, and overcome all the hurdles in the way. The upbringing and purification of Muslims was done with the main focus on dealing withحت اىدٍّب ٗ مسإٍذ اىَ٘د. (Love of this world and aversion to death). With the love of this world people get involved in the love of property, wealth, and materialistic things. Muslims have been advised not to accumulate a lot of wealth and property just for themselves as it gets them addicted to the materialistic world. The Muslim co mmunity was prepared in such a way that it would be valiant and courageous. This is a deen of the courageous and the valiant and not a deen of the weak; it does not suit the weak. It is for those individuals who have self-respect, honour and dignity, which fo r us carry the same significance as religion. We
129
Economic Terroris m
cannot just shamelessly watch anyone trampling the respect of our deen, Rasoolullah ( hubp ) and our co mmunity. If we do so then we are not proper Muslims or faithful believers. We have a defin ition. Now to understand the situation; even today our community contains 360 idols wh ich are present in our hearts. We have made money, property, status, material wealth, cars, palatial houses etc into gods. All these are idols. Idols are not just made of clay and wood. Man has to first conduct a self an alysis and contemplate that if we really want to change this system of kufr and establish a community of justice, then we have to first break free of those idols existing within our hearts, inside our six foot structures. Unless and until we gather answers to give Allah on the Day of Judgment, the Muslims will remain deceivers; treasures will be robbed fro m their Bait ul Maals; and populations of Muslims will be quoted only as percentages. This is happening because there is no fear of Allah, no fear of the Day of Judgment and no fear of having to be answerable to Allah on the Last day. The thinking of Muslims should develop on the basis of preparation for the Day of Judgment, and their relationship with Allah and Rasoolullah (hubp ).
Muslims have established never-before-seen civilizat ions and cultures; but spirituality, and not materialism, is the overall focus of the society. They are spiritual societies. Deen does not cut us off completely fro m the world, as we have been given permission to earn the world as well. This deen is very remarkable; on one side it warns us not to cultivate love for the world, and on the other side it advises us to earn so much wealth that we become able to give zakah, charity (sadaqah) and display generosity. A poor person cannot give zakah. It is therefore obligatory on a Muslim to be economically stable. When a believer becomes stronger than another believer, it is not just in physical terms; he should be strong economically, socially, morally and militarily too. It is mandatory on Muslims that we should participate in the world so much that we contribute our shares to it. We have to establish civilizations and cultures, and be the giving hand. A hand becomes giving only when it has something to give. Also we have to earn real wealth and spend in the cause of Allah. Even when the Usmaniyah Emp ire was becoming weak in 1840s, the Muslim emperor was sending ships filled with grain to feed the needy in famine-stricken Ireland. This will not be mentioned in history. It is in the nature of Muslims that even if we are weak and not wealthy, we have to give and distribute. We are a nation that gives. A weak Muslim cannot do anything in this world. We have to be economically stable.

Trading is a much reco mmended way of earn ing in Islam. There is a had eeth which states that if there are 10 parts of sustenance, then 9 of them should be put in trade. However, as mentioned in the Quran, the Zionists compare trade with riba. A ll their beliefs are opposite to our system. We have discussed these philosophical aspects because if we do not become spiritual, and if we do not break the 360 idols present in our hearts, it will become d ifficu lt for us to accept and adopt any solutions .This is something serious and it has to be thought about. We are trapped in such a system wh ich does not accept humanitarian traits . We have to make changes and there are parameters for that. A spiritual person is one who separates himself fro m this world whilst residing in it. We have to generate the 3 aspects of such a person in ourselves. We have to become:
A person who is صبّدقand ٍٍِ أ.
A person who does not deceive concerning the wealth of Muslims.
A person, when given the responsibility of the wealth of the Muslims, d istributes it equally.
Unless and until such a core team is prepared, no correct economic model can be established, however Islamic we may call it. Emphasis is on spirituality, piety, morality and the state of being God-fearing. A caliph should be answerable to the general public in the everyday matters of the state. This is why we emphasize that before discussing solutions we should look at ourselves first. Are we ready to change? We will have to sacrifice and change our luxurious lifestyles and distribute our stored wealth. We cannot expect to establish an Is lamic society without changing ourselves for it first. We have to put into action the Quranic verse which commands us to enter our deen completely and not in bits and pieces. Allah says:
((ٌٍِِ))ٌَب أٌََُٖب اىَ رٌَِِ آٍَُْ٘ا اّدْخُيُ٘ا فًِ اىعِيٌِْ مَبفَخً َٗىَب رَزَجِؼُ٘ا خُطَُ٘ادِ اىّشٍَْطَبُِ ۚ إَُِّٔ ىَنٌُْ ػَ دٌُٗ ٍُج ‗O ye who believe! Enter into Islam whole -heartedly; and follow not the footsteps of the Evil One; for he is to y ou an avowed enemy.‘ (Al-Baqarah: 208) We cannot do patchwork in the system of kufr and rename it as Islamic. There have to be complete, radical changes.

This was the philosophical background of the solutions to counter the exploitation by today‘s modern Zionist banking system and the pillars on which the structure of their system is founded. We will now discuss whether their economic model can coexist with our model, and if not, then what our model actually is.
132

Comparisons We will co mpare their system with ours, as there is a vast difference. As discussed earlier, their system‘s basic foundation is on banks. The alternate institution that Muslims have is the concept of the Bait ul Maal. The basic difference between the two is that the bank works on the concept of riba-based money lending, whether governmental or private, but the Bait ul Maal is a state responsibility and a governmental institution where wealth other than the currency of gold and silver coins is gathered, i.e. rice, wheat, flour, animals etc. Real wealth, which is anything related to the property of the state, which can be used within the public and distributed in the community, is a part of the Bait ul Maal. The bank and the Bait ul Maal are therefore diametrically opposite concepts. The Bait ul Maal is neither personal nor collective; it is administered by the government. Therefore when wealth co mes to the Bait ul Maal, it beco mes equally the property of all the people of that state. The government decides the method by which it is to be distributed amongst them. Thus all the govern ment taxes, government inco me, government Zakah and government charity that are collected, come to the Bait ul Maal and then centralized distribution takes place from there. In this way the wealth does not get accumulated in the hands of one individual; it is gathered in the hands of the responsible indiv iduals of the government, i.e. the leader or the sultan of the country, to be further distributed. The foundation of their economic system is on paper currency which is not backed by anything, i.e. fake receipts, while the foundation of a Muslim economic system is based on real wealth, which is gold and silver. This system that has been given to us by Allah and Rasoolullah ( hubp ) is comp letely opposite to any economic system dealing in fake receipts. Their foundation is on money lending, loans and interest; through credit cards, business transaction loans, personal loans, home finance, car finance etc. All this is ‗translated‘ as usury. Our foundation is on trade or 62

Islam allows loan as a form of social service among the rich to help the poor and those who are in need of financial assistance. Loans in Islam may be obtained in two ways: (i) Loans with condition of repayment, and (ii) gratuitous loans without any compensation or gift, better known as al-qard al-hasan. The word "qard hasan" is derived from the Arabic word "Qirad" which means 'to cut'. It is called qard, as it cuts certain part of the lender's property by giving a loan to the borrower. ‗Hasan‘ originates

forgiven. It is given without any condition of necessary repayment with interest. It is simple and the only condition here is if the borrower can‘t pay it back, the lender forgives him. Otherwise it is only trade instead of money lending. Allah says:

―If ye loan to Allah a beautiful loan, He will double it to your (credit), and He will grant you Forgiveness: for Allah is Most Ready to appreciate (service), Most Forbearing ,‖ (Taghabun: 17) In a hadith reported by Abu Hurairah (ra), the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever relieves a believer fro m a difficulty in this world, A llah will relieve him fro m h is difficu lty and Allah will facilitate him in this world and the hereafter." [Muslim]
Their concept of tax is inco me tax whereas ours is savings tax, which is Zakah. They are taxed on their daily inco me which they earn by working hard and taking risks for their family; and they cannot go home until a section of their income is taken away and put in Zionist banks. If we take account, they pay 35% as taxes in the West. This means a person works 4 months in a year only for the government without any returns. They get a salary only for 8 months. Their salary of 4 months of labor is taken by the government
from 'ihsan' which means kindness to others. Thus hasan is an act which benefits persons other than those from whom the act proceeds, without any obligation. The term ‗al-qard al-hasan‘ means beneficial loan or benevolent loan, gratuitous loan, interest free loan, beautiful loan etc. Therefore, qard al-hasan is a kind of gratuitous loan given to needy people for a fixed period without requiring the payment of interest or profit. The receiver of qard al-hasan is only required to repay the original amount of the loan.

as taxes. This is slavery. They think it to be freedom and democracy, and justify this action of theirs, claiming that the tax taken is returned to them through the welfare state, with educational benefits, health services etc. and it is visible to them. Their system of inco me tax is quite dazzling to the eyes. However we have proved to you in earlier d iscussions that a comfortable lifestyle is only projected for them to see. The people there are slaves. The Zionists have to show some structure to the world to justify their system, to show how good a welfare provid ing state it is. But it is just a trick of the Samiri. It dazzles and blinds human vision with its shine and illu mination so much that people stop looking altogether. This system is not collapsing without reason. In their system, if wealth belongs to an individual, a father o r a son, he keeps it for h imself, h is wife, his son etc. In our system on the other hand, inheritance is distributed according to the Shariah given to us by Allah. When a person passes away, his wealth is distributed in the whole of his family like his sisters, parents, children, as well as his wife etc. The laws of inheritance by which wealth is distributed in our system are not there in the system of the west. Their wealth is limited to just one part of the family. Here Allah has given us a natural law, that after each person‘s death, his wealth is distributed among his relatives and the society. Our system is not compatible with their system. Then the most emphasized concern in our society is Zakah, translated as ‗distribution of wealth‘. Their basis is on the hoarding and accumulat ing of wealth and not spending it in the cause of Allah. The Quran defines them as:
((ٌٍٍِ)) َٗاىَ رٌَِِ ٌَنِْْصَُُٗ اى رََٕتَ َٗاىّْفِضَخَ َٗىَب ٌُّْْفِقََُّٖ٘ب فًِ ظَجٍِوِ اىئَِ فَجَّشِسٌُْْٕ ثِؼَ رَاةٍ أَى And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the Way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous penalty. (At-Tawbah: 34)

We are encouraged to spend in the cause of Allah. They encourage people to keep savings so that money is saved in their banks and the Zionists can use it for money lending based on interest and usury. They prefer the so-called long term deposits because they do not want money spent in the cause of Allah, and they do not allow it to be circulated in the community. The Islamic concept of money is that it is like blood th at circulates in the body of man. If it stops in one place, it gets clogged and the body is harmed by it. Money should be circulated to the maximu m in society. Their system is based on wants and desires, and our system is based on needs . We aim to provide the necessities for people, and they encourage the growth of desires in man. We are advised to live in this world like travelers, and take from it only what we need to spend on life‘s necessities . A human being‘s desires and luxuries are far apart fro m his needs. People get involved in this world, in its lavishness and treachery. Once they are co mpletely d rowned in its desires, they are ruined; and Deen becomes a very difficult thing to fo llo w. The basic foundation of their system is to plant the love of this world in people‘s hearts. They tempt you with pro mises of a good lifestyle and provide interest based loans for everything, even for vacations. They give you a lifestyle beyond your means through the system of credit cards. They want people to live on loans, lease, interest etc. For this it is necessary to provoke desires. All this is again diamet rically opposite to our system. We are advised to live within our means. There should be no unnecessary e xpenditure because the ones who do it are called the brothers of Satan. Do not be stingy in times of necessity and need. Spend generously in the cause of Allah. This actually creates a balance within our society. Satisfy your needs. It is not lu xury or unwanted expense to own a good car, good house, good clothes etc. It is lu xu ry

when you need 10 pairs of shoes and you have 100 pairs, and if you need 10 shirts, you have wardrobes filled with them. This is israaf. We have a major philosophical aspect in our ideologies and thoughts. We are sure of the fact that whatever blessings of the world are with us, they have been given to us by Allah. He lets us know that He is bestowing a favor upon us by blessing us with them. Fro m the stipulation “from the bounties that We have given you” we understand that we must spend from the sustenance He has given us, that is in excess of our need. Their concept on the other hand, is that whatever they have acquired is only through their own earning. Remember the time when Musa (A) said
ِ)) َٗاثْزَغِ فٍََِب آرَبكَ اىئَُ اى دَازَ اىْآخِسَحَ ۖ َٗىَب رَْْطَ َّّصٍِجَلَ ٍَِِ اى دٍَُّْب ۖ َٗأَحْ عِِْ مَََب أَحْ عََِ اىئَُ إِىٍَْلَ ۖ َٗىَب رَجْغ ْ )قَبهَ إَََِّب أُٗرٍِزُُٔ ػَيَىٰ ػِيٌٍْ ػِْْدِي ۚ أََٗىٌَْ ٌَؼْيٌَْ أََُ اىئََ قَد77( ٌَِِاىّْفَ عَبّدَ فًِ اىْؤَزْضِ ۖ إَُِ اىئََ ىَب ٌُحِتُ اىَُّْفْ عِد (( ٍَُُِ٘أَْٓ ىَلَ ٍِِْ قَجْئِِ ٍَِِ اىْقُسُُِٗ ٍَِْ َُٕ٘ أَ شَ دُ ٍُِْْٔ قُ َ٘حً َٗأَمْثَسُ جََْؼًب ۚ َٗىَب ٌُ عْؤَهُ ػَِْ ذُُّ٘ثٌُِِٖ اىٌُْجْس "But seek, with the (wealth) wh ich Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this World: but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: fo r Allah loves not those who do mischief." He said: "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge which I have." Did he not know t hat Allah had destroyed, before him (whole) generations, - which were superior to him in strength and greater in amount (of riches) they had collected? But the wicked are not called (immed iately) to account for their sins. This is their fundamental concept.‖ (Al-Qasas: 77, 78) There is a beautiful incident that Mr. Ashfaq Ahmed has mentioned about someone. A person came to him and said that he had done a very good deed that day. He had given alms of Rs.100 to a poor man. The other person very calmly replied that the giver too had given from the money that someone else had bestowed upon him- he did not give fro m his own, and so how was it that he felt that he was doing a favor on others? The philosophical dimension of this concept is that man should realize, whatever is given to him is fro m Allah. We say ُ٘اّّب ىيَئ ٗ اّّب اىٍٔ زاجؼ which puts us on psychological programming that we came fro m Allah, and our return is to Him. Nothing belongs to

us as everything belongs to Him. We are just custodians of what He has given us. The meaning of ‗vicegerent‘ or ‗Khalifah on earth‘ means that we are just representatives of Allah and everything belongs to Him. Whoever possesses more wealth has a greater responsibility to spend more. Our philosophical concept is one of sharing, i.e. d istributing wealth in the cause of Allah among His creations. Our history is full of incidents of Muslims having obeyed Allah‘s order regarding the distributing of wealth and refraining fro m accumulat ing it. The Zionist economic system is based on the explo itation of people‘s needs by illegal means. The more people are in need; the greater the interest taken on their loans. If they are weak and helpless, the Zionists increase prices. If people are dying of hunger and thirst, then it becomes an opportunity for them to earn and raise prices of oil, gas, petrol and increase fares of ships and airplanes. When pilgrims have to go for pilgrimage and buy tickets, it becomes a t ime for them to rob the pilgrims. This is an exploitative rule in which the entire community is trapped. Do we not realize that within this system even the airlines increase their charges during season? Is this not a time when they should make it easier for people and share whatever sustenance Allah has given them, which has to be distributed among His creations? This is the violence illustrated by this system of kufr . Exp loitative instincts develop automatically in people whether they are taxi drivers, airline employees or any other kinds of workers, for that matter. Similarly, one very important aspect of our economic system is the market place. When we go to a Friday market or Sunday market we find numerous small shops there. We purchase different commodit ies from different shops. If we spend Rs.500 in that market, we are distributing it between 12-15 shopkeepers in that market place. They have established the concept of chain of supermarkets to go against this. Big supermarkets are a one window operation. You get everything under one roof and one supermarket chain is spread all around the world. The result is when you spend 100,000 and buy all your necessities, instead of that money being distributed in the whole community, it goes into the pocket of one mult inational tycoon. A corporation earns from it. It does not get circulated in the society. There is a very important status for the market place in the Islamic econo mic model because when you trade in the market, you exchange money, circulate money and distribute money amongst the people. This does not happen under the concept of supermarkets and big chain stores.

Similarly we had the concept of a mentor (ustaad) and student, whether in the field of carpentry, electronics, plumb ing etc. There was a relationship between the teacher and the student. In today‘s economic world, the relationship is that of employer and emp loyee, that is, the servant and the boss. The result is that there is no spiritual b inding between the two. When you are offered more money somep lace else, you leave the present job. There are no moral obligations on the employee or the employer. The relationship is based purely on money. There is no relationship involving manners or respect here. And due to this kind of dealing, people feel insecure and employees start looking for places that pay more wh ile the emp loyer tries to make mo re money by exp loit ing mo re. This is again a structure shaped due to the exploitative mentality of the economic system. There is no sharing and distributio n of wealth and there is no relationship of trust and respect within the market place. This exists not only in this system of riba or in the economic model, but its results are seen on every level of thin king and in the collect ive aspect of the community in general. Likewise, we have the concept of halaal and haraam. They however, do not have any such limitations, whether regarding pig meat, riba, theft, exp loitation, drug money, etc; it does not make a difference. If a community is severely direction-conscious and respects the concept of halaal, then paths are automatically paved in which exp loitation, theft, riba etc are comp letely eradicated. Muslims are direct ion conscious / take their bearings seriously, as they verify the contents of cans to check for the presence of pig extracts or any haraam addit ives on items coming fro m the west. The west exp loits the Muslims to such an extent that there is pig meat produced in Australia wh ich bears a ‗halaal‘ seal to show that the meat of the pig is halaal. They would have restrictions and limitation but they have demarcated religious values with social an d economic aspects. Before moving to individual level responses, three extraord inary points must inevitably be d iscussed here as there is no economic system that has been made or that ever will be made in society without imp lementing them and understanding their concepts. There are three methods of spending wealth in our deen , wh ich has been given to us by Allah and His prophet, and the economic model of which we are trying to attain. We are reminded repeatedly by Allah and Rasoolullah (pbuh) about Zakah which is 2.5% of our annual savings. It is a co mpulsory tax on savings.

Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord : on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Al Baqarah : 277) In the Quran, Allah has built the concept of expenditure in the form of Sadaqah (Infaaq).

Spend out of (the bounties) we have provided for you, before the Day comes when no bargaining (will avail), nor friendship nor intercession. Those who reject Faith, they are the wrong-doers. (2:254) There is no percentage involved here. This is different to Zakah. It is e mphasized repeatedly for the Muslims to spend in the cause of Allah as this is the right of the people who deserve that money. The concept of spending other than Zakah is also compulsory as it is a direct command fro m Allah. Your blessings will only increase with this . We are co mmanded to give sadaqah on all our matters. The next aspect involves giving away what is excess to necessity () عفو. A llama Iqbal mentioned in one of his poems that if the concept of „affw‟ were co mprehended by the economists and philosophers of the world, it would init iate a revolution around the world. It is related to the verse of Quran giving the answer fro m A llah when people asked Rasoolullah what to spend in the cause of Allah; and they were told to spend that which was more than their essential needs.
((َُُٗ))ٌََٗ عْؤَىَُّ٘لَ ٍَبذَا ٌُّْْفِقَُُ٘ قُوِ اىْؼَّفَْ٘ ۗ مَ رَٰىِلَ ٌُجٍَُِِ اىئَُ ىَنٌُُ اىْآٌَبدِ ىَؼَيَنٌُْ رَزَّفَنَس
―They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." They ask thee how much they are to spend; say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth Allah make clear to you His Signs: in order that ye may consider.‖ (2: 219)

To understand this concept better, we quote a simp le example fro m the works of Ashfaq Ahmed. A man co mes to an ‗aalim and requests an explanation of the concept of Zakah in Islam. The ‗aalim asks him whether he should elaborate on the Zakah of fiqh, or the Zakah of love or the Zakah of ‗Ishq‘. The questioner does not understand and asks to be enlightened about all the three. The ‗aalim exp lains the Zakah of fiqh was to spend 2.5% fro m the wealth one had saved in the cause of Allah, at the end of the year. The Zakah of love (mohabbat) was to keep the 2.5% that one had kept to give as Zakah for oneself and distribute the rest. The Zakah of ‗ishq was to also distribute the 2.5% that one had saved. This concept has all the three models – Zakah, Infaaq and ‗Affw‘; they are made clear in a beautiful manner. Allah set a min imu m percentage tax of 2.5% on the wealth that is lying with us for one year, which is actually more than what we require. The rest depends on the choice of each individual, and the method in which he wants to spend it; which means we can either give the Zakah of love or the Zakah of ‗ishq. We have an economic history filled with such instances where Allah‘s creations used to spend as much as they earned and never gathered wealth, or saved it for times later in life when it could be of use. It was only Tawakkul (reliance) and faith in Allah that made them spend for Him whatever they earned. And then there were also those who preferred working hard and earning for themselves , who did not like accepting Zakah or sadaqah from anyone. It is therefore fro m both sides. The benefactor was very generous while the needy had so much self respect and dignity that they reconsidered a hundred times before accepting anything. The Islamic economic model should consist of all these aspects – Bait u l Maal, gold and silver, Zakah system, inheritance system, qardh hasan, trading in the market place, business and the three models of spending. Some countries do have the concept of a Bait ul Maal; but people think that when they give taxes to the government then a percentage of them go to the Bait ul Maal. Do they not have to pay extra Zakah, and it is not compulsory on them? There is no relation whatsoever of Zakah with inco me tax; neither can they co mpensate each other. This does not exempt us from paying Zakah. As long as the Bait ul Maal made by the government is not a proper one, it is just an eye wash to satisfy people and the concepts that we are discussing and developing do not have any relation to this kind of an institution. This Bait ul Maal would be similar to an Islamic bank. It is a co mpletely different concept.

Solutions to bring positive changes in the society Change in a community does not occur from top to bottom. It happens from bottom to top. A big change can be brought about when an individual takes a stand and starts imp lementing the rules of an Islamic economic model that Allah has given us within his brethren. An individual is a very strong entity in a community. There is an emergency and we want the people to know as soon as possible because the situation that is being created around us is going fro m bad to worse. This is false inflation. Devaluation of currencies of developing nations is being orchestrated. Famine is being artificially created all over the world. They have got countries involved in wars to decrease the population of the world. Our govern ments are imp lementing all the policies of the World Bank and IMF. Whatever is happening is so shameful that there are no words to describe it. Ho wever we need not be disappointed, as we have been provided responses by Allah, with His mercy. These responses have to be imp lemented in the minds of each individual and nation whose heart has suffered. It is no more time to maintain the status quo which we have been in for years. It has to be changed. We have to change our lives.

Solutions at an individual level The individual shapes the fate of every society. Do not underestimate his strength. He can create a big impact if he tries to bring change in his community within h is ability. These solutions will not force you to go against the law, take you towards indecency and tyranny or lead to anarchy. They are with in your means and daily life. A person can control his life style. He just has to manage to start coming slowly towards a collective economical model that is completely Islamic. When an individual wants to bring about a change in the society, the ideology and the role models that guide him are the values taught during the Makkan period. They emphasize on individual purification, character building etc. which lead to the formation of a spiritual commun ity, and it is very clear that the foundation of an Islamic economic model is based on a good individual. If a good person, a Saadiq and an Ameen, does not come into existence, then the responsibility of spreading the message cannot be imp lemented in the form of an Islamic co mmunity, the very foundation of which is on character. If we take the Makkan Surahs of the Quran, we see that they were revealed at the beginning of Rasoolullah‘s prophet-hood. Allah was cultivating the moral fibers and characters of the people, on the basis of which civ ilizations and cultures had to be built. The foundation is on the concepts of Tawheed, the Last Day, Prophet-hood etc; but the emphasis was on the aspect of refrain ing fro m getting attached to the world. Allah says,
َََُُ٘ )مَيَب ىَْ٘ رَؼْي4( َََُُ٘ )ثٌَُ مَيَب ظَْ٘فَ رَؼْي3( َََُُ٘ )مَيَب ظَْ٘فَ رَؼْي2( َ )حَزَىٰ شُزْرٌُُ اىََْقَبثِس1( ُ)) أَىَْٖبمٌُُ اىزَنَبثُس (() 8( ٌٍِِ )ثٌَُ ىَزُ عْؤَىَُِ ًٌََْ٘ ئِ رٍ ػَِِ اىَْؼ7( ٍِِِ )ثٌَُ ىَزَسَََُّٖٗب ػٍََِْ اىٍَْق6( ٌٍَِ )ىَزَسََُُٗ اىْجَح5( ٍِِِػِيٌَْ اىٍَْق ―The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things), until ye visit the graves.

Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight! Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).‖ (At-Takathur: 1-8)

He says we kept love for the world in plenty until we reached our graves. The natures and desires that are inherent in man; to gather material wealth; have to be kept in check and avoided. They will keep us in negligence and inculcate in us the desire for more until we reach our graves. Secondly, a fundamental characteristic of a person is discussed, that he appears to pray, fast, perform hajj etc. but does not have proper faith in A llah and Rasoolullah (hubp ). Allah says:
ِ( وَّلَا ٌَحُّضُ عَلَىٰ طَعَام2) َ( فَذَّٰلِكَ اّلَذِي ٌَّدُّعُ اّلٍَْتٍِن1) ِ)) أَرَأٌَْتَ اّلَذِي ٌُكَذِبُ تِاّلّدٌِه ْ( اّلَذٌِهَ هُن5) َ( اّلَذٌِهَ هُنْ عَهْ صَلَاتِهِنْ سَاهُىن4) َ( فَىٌَْلٌ ّلِلْمُصَلٍِه3) ِاّلْمِسْكٍِه (( (7) َ( وٌََمْنَعُىنَ اّلْمَاعُىن6) ٌَُزَاءُون ―Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)? Then such is the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness), and encourages not the feeding of the indigent. So woe to the worshippers who are neglectful of their Prayers, those who (want but) to be seen (of men), but refuse (to supply) (even) neighborly needs.‖ (Al Maoon: 1-7) Look at the emphasis here; ‗have you seen the person who rejects the Aakhirah? This is the one who refuses to feed the poor and pushes away the orphans.‘ The rest of the Surah is about those who pray just to show other people. This is because they are among those who do not help feed the poor and who drive away the orphans; who do not distribute their wealth amongst the weak people of Allah, that have no means of support except for the co mmunity and the state, and those wealthy individuals upon whom Allah has bestowed riches and sustenance. As Musa (A) said:
(( َ)) َٗأَحْ عِِْ مَََب أَحْ عََِ اىئَُ إِىٍَْل This is the concept of Zakah and compassion. Allah has very strictly warned those who do not apply this concept. These hypocrites have Riya with in them and cannot be saved.
If we wish to establish the Islamic econo mic model, emphasis should be placed on
ٍِِِطَؼَبًِ اىَِْ عْن
that is, feeding
the needy. What does this mean? The hungry are the weakest and most helpless people in a community, as they do not have adequate means to feed and sustain themselves . There could be no-one on any level lower than this, as he would simp ly die. A man could be jobless , or ill, or have less money; but there can be nothing worse than being hungry. Therefore emphasis on this concept is first and the foremost.

spend one deenar on parents, one on himself and his family, one on Zakah, and one should be kept as savings.
There is no pattern mo re beautiful than this. But take note here; spending on parents is sadaqah and we are permitted to spend on ourselves, to keep savings but we also have to distribute money in the cause of Allah. The word ‗deenar‘ here is used for ‗gold coin‘. The first in line who are affected and destroyed by their system are the poor and helpless, the orphans, widows, and the handicapped who depend completely on support from the community or government. These two have to take care of them. We do have the amazing concept of Zakah in Islam, but nowadays we do not see its blessings in the community, in spite of the fact that people give very h igh levels of sadaqah. Many institutions still survive on Zakah and sadaqah. At the time of the decline of the Usmaniyah Empire in 1921, along with gold and silver coins, paper currency had also started being issued; and scholars were asked to give fatwas about the payment of Zakah in paper currency. One remarkable fatwa wh ich remained valid till the end of the Usmaniyah Empire stated that Zakah had to always be given in real wealth itself and not in the form of receipts of real wealth. Zakah is based on gold and silver in our deen and it cannot be given in paper currency that does not have gold behind it. Therefore, the first solution that is recommended is to give Zakah in real wealth. For examp le, someone gives Rs.10, 000 of Zakah money to a poor lady for her daughter‘s marriage, wh ich is to take place in the future. The lady saves it. After 6 months when she goes shopping for her daughter‘s wedding, due to inflation and devaluation and the increased price of the commodit ies, the (Purchasing power of) Rs.10, 000 has dwindled to (that of) Rs.8500. The poor lady then starts looking for Rs.1500 more to attend to her needs. Her money had devalued by itself because the Zakah had been given in paper currency. If the person, according to law of Islam, had given Rs.10,000 worth of gold co ins for Zakah
63

and she had gone to buy things with it after 6 or 8 months then it would have been worth Rs.10,000 or Rs.12,000 and the devaluation of currency would have been compensated due to the real wealth with her. The poor cannot buy gold and silver for themselves. If they want to keep reserves or savings for bad times, they do not open bank accounts or save in gold and silver. They save in paper currency. The result is that their life savings dwindle just like that. In today‘s times Zakah paid by rich members of the community who Allah has favored with His bounty, carries no blessings. In Malaysia, Mahathir Mohammed is propagating robustly to bring back the concept of gold and silver coins and the Muslims have taken the lead there. They have private mints that are issuing gold and silver coins. One of the districts there has decided to pay Zakah in gold and silver coins and use them as currency. This concept is rising in the Muslim world. Global med ia is not promoting this; it is being concealed. Thus we have practical examples with us from our past and present. It is therefore obligatory on the Muslims that Zakah be paid in real wealth that is worth its amount, and that will not lead to discrepancies. Today if a payment is made by check, the recipient takes it to a bank, deposits it, waits for a few days and then the check is transferred and he can go withdraw the money. This is an entire process and it takes time. Now if the person is given gold coins, he can go to the market and liquidate them any time when he needs to buy real wealth, like food, household items etc. Savings should be in real wealth, i.e. gold and silver. People implementing this are never in loss. The lowest section of the community benefits especially, wh ich is composed of the poor who do not have any insurance to save themselves from inflation or devaluation of currency. The rich always manage somehow, but the poor who rightfully deserve Zakah are in a loss even after getting it because there are no safeguards or economic safety checks in the commun ity through which they can be compensated for inflat ion or increased costs. This will be a revolutionary response to this system of kufr , Insha Allah, by which the Muslims and the entire world will roll back fro m the 300 year old strong Zionist economic system. Th is will also be in line with the wisdom o f the Quran and Sunnah. No laws are broken anywhere; any Muslim can in itiate this Zakah personally, anywhere in the world. If this system is init iated by the Muslims, then coins worth billions of dollars will start getting distributed in
146
Economic Terroris m
the market. Today dollars are accepted along with the local currency in any big supermarket. If gold coins start coming into the market, then the time is not far when they will start accepting gold and silver coins too. Therefore to counter their system and eradicate paper currency, the first thing to do is to get the gold and silver currency into the poorest sections of the society. This will be the actual spending of wealth in the cause of Allah. This way we can slo wly reduce the use of paper currency as savings will be transferred into real wealth. Now about the type of gold coin to be used: the association of jewelers in any country can make standard gold and silver coins and gold coins of 5g m or 10g m are already availab le in the market. Every company‘s gold is standardized and authorized. If coins are made in large quantities to distribute as Zakah, there will co me a t ime when even the shopkeepers will start accepting them as legal tender or currency. They will also start encouraging people to pay them in gold coins instead of paper currency, and carry out their business accordingly. There is no revolution against the government here and no contradiction to the current system. This is jus t to support and save the poor section of the community fro m inflation and high prices. With this the gold coins will begin to circulate and the economic model will begin to change in the market. Currently, Muslims in at least 22 countries have made communit ies that deal in gold and silver co ins. There are some countries that are init iating Bait u l Maals fro m wh ich they buy gold when they want to trade and gold is transferred instead of paper currency and digital currency. When this happens the usage of gold will increase, so won‘t we need more stocks of gold? With Allah‘s blessing there is no deficiency of gold in the world. There is so much that all the needs of the people are satisfied. The world will not transfer co mpletely into a gold -based economy as soon as this process begins; it is a gradual procedure and will advance slowly. When people start saving and distributing charity in gold and silver, the poor segment of the community at least will start reserving its wealth in gold. Slowly people who have greater sources of income will also start making reserves of gold. Th is concept is such a revolutionary step to respond to the system of kufr that it will result in them increasing the prices of commodities, and devaluing currencies. The Muslims should pay their due Zakah in gold and silver, or in any other form of real wealth like wheat grains, flour, rice etc. so that the discrepancy in value that takes place due to inflation and depreciation is compensated. People know about the poor and helpless around them. Large institutions work for them to ensure that the Zakah is used properly. We simply have to pay it as Allah has ordained upon us, and then spend more as sadaqah. When this
147
Economic Terroris m
system starts operating in a community a moral and spiritual o rder is built where everyone starts taking care of the poor. Only then will Allah spread His blessings throughout the nation. This will not happen by distributing paper money in the society. Even if one or two among a hundred thousand start distributing Zakah in real wealth in the community, there can be a big difference. The people paying attention to all our discussions are those Muslims whom Allah has blessed with His wealth in the world and who can distribute Zakah to the needy and the less fortunate. Therefore our discussions focus primarily on those billionaires and millionaires , as they have the choice, permission and authority to spend. There are only two kinds of people whom we are permitted to be jealous of. The first is one whom Allah has given knowledge of the Quran and religion, and he distributes it; and the second is the one Allah has given unlimited wealth, and he spends it in the cause of Allah for the benefit of the co mmunity. Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud: The Prophet said, "Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (The first is) a person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously; (the second is) the one whom Allah has given wisdom (the Ho ly Quran ) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others."
64
Being a wealthy person is agreeable, and beneficial fo r the society. People have to follow the role mod el of Uth man Ghan i (ra). W ithout the presence of such a generous character in the society, an Islamic society would not develop and Muslims as an organized community would not be strong. Even if one indiv idual has heard us and understood us, and wishes to bring a change, then Insha Allah a fascinating change will occur in our nations. InshaAllah there will co me a time when the poor will sleep content and will not have to struggle due to the devaluation of currency enforced upon us by the Zionist banking system. The implementation of these small revolutionary ideas can take us to larger ones.

The next aspect that we co me to is a core foundation of our deen, that is
ٍِطؼبً اىَعن
(feeding the poor). There
is great emphasis on this in our deen. Allah says if a person commits a sin, or mistakes are made fro m our side, something good must be done immediately as the good nullifies the bad and the sinner is forgiven. ((زَحًٍَِب
)) ٍََِْٗ ٌَؼََْوْ ظُ٘ءًا أَْٗ ٌَظْيٌِْ َّّفْ عَُٔ ثٌَُ ٌَ عْزَغّْفِسِ اىئََ ٌَجِدِ اىئََ غَّفُ٘زًا
―If anyone does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft Forgiving, Most Mercifu l.‖ (An-Nisa: 110) The act of goodness always advised to us if we break an oath, or break a fast deliberately etc is to feed the poor. Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) prescribed the sadaqah (alms) relating to the breaking of the fast as a purification of the fasting from empty and obscene talk, and as food for the poor. If anyone pays it before the Eid congregation, it will be accepted as zakah. If anyone pays it after the prayer then it will be a sadaqah 65
(alms) like other sadaqahs.
People are ordered to feed the starving as there are no people in worse conditions than them. The next step for a person who is hungry is only to die. Feeding the poor is a majo r part of our culture and if we avoid it, the result would be increasing presence of poor and starving people in our society. There are millions of people around the world who cannot afford even one meal a day. They sleep on an empty stomach and do not eat for days. Feeding the needy is therefore a major way of earning blessings in Islam. The situation is such that on one side, there are people whose kitchen expenses reach Rs.100, 000 a month, and on the other side people, includ ing children, are committ ing suicide because of starvation. This is only because our institution of feeding the poor is not being given the required importance in our communities. So me points are to be noted here; philosophically Islam does not forbid us to spend the wealth Allah has bestowed upon us on ourselves. We can certainly go to restaurants and five star hotels and have fascinating dinners. However it must be
65
Sunan Abu Dawud, Book #9, Hadith #1605
149
Economic Terroris m
remembered, whatever is being spent is not a need; they are just desires. However, it would be a good disposition when we eat food worth Rs .2000 in McDonalds, to then buy food of equal worth for a poor starving individual of the community. In this way that israaf of Rs.2000 will not trouble us; otherwise there are strict accounts to be presented to Allah. It is not legal for a Muslim in any way, for his piety or for a just social order, that he eats food for Rs.1000 in a day and other Muslims crave to eat Rs.2000 worth of food in a year. Therefore we have to make a pattern; whenever there is a tendency to fulfill desires, we do it, but then spend the same amount on food to give some poor orphan or helpless person. When we start including and supporting the poor whilst satisfying our own desires, then we begin to blessings from Allah, and an awareness is developed. Consequently, we will not indulge in the materialistic world and suffer destruction through arrogance of the wealth that Allah has given us. There can be three levels of feeding someone according to incidents in our history: Allah has blessed us with food. We can eat it ourselves and distribute it. We have one plate of sustenance. We can eat half of it and the rest we give to a brother in Islam. We have just one plate and when a starving man comes asking for food, we give all of it to him and be patient. We always presume that economic and social changes are brought about by institutions. However an individual is much more powerfu l when it co mes to such changes. Even if one person in our community changes his lifestyle with sincerity, its immense blessings and radiance spread around him. We have to try to contain our desires and wishes, and use wealth to satisfy the needs of the poor. It becomes essential to mention an incident from the life of the Khalifah Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz (ra) here. During his Kh ilafah, he took very little salary fro m the Bait ul Maal. Once his wife cooked a sweet dish, and he enquired about it. As she was a lady who feared Allah, she told him that she always saved a litt le fro m the money that was given to her and at the time she had saved enough to make the sweet dish for him and the children. By this he understood that whatever salary he took was more than their needs and started taking that much less from the Bait ul Maal. There are people in our commun ity who work hard the entire day, earn daily wages, eat
150
Economic Terroris m
just one meal at the end of the day and distribute the rest of the money in the community. They need not be kings to do this. Sadaqah, too, can be given at an individual level. There are ch ildren who come fro m very wealthy and disciplined families and study in high profile schools. They gather their pocket money and buy food for some poor and helpless families in the market, instead of just having fun and returning home. There are many people around us whom Allah has blessed with wealth and they do feed thousands. We have to make this act into an institution in our nations. We must feed the poor, distribute wealth, and limit the desires. Even if the latter are fulfilled, the same must be spent on a poor person as well. Th is is not going to put us in any loss. There is an individual in Masjid un Nabbawi who feeds all the poor there; his desire is to feed the people of the Prophet‘s city. There are those who do this on a daily basis and not just in Ramadan. We shop daily for mo re than our needs. Slogans like ‗shop till you drop‘ teach us to over-spend and buy things that we don‘t need. However there are so many people whose basic needs for a month can be fulfilled with our one day‘s shopping bill. Therefore, spend a percentage on sadaqah. Share the sustenance that Allah gave with His people and change the attitude. We cannot be so casual and careless about those in our community who are committing suicide to escape from starvation, whilst people remain fo r who m it is difficult to keep account of their wealth. This imbalance in our society has to be corrected. When suggestions for decreasing expenditure, limiting desires and distributing food are given, one logical question that people will ask is how do we know who deserves it and who doesn‘t. Here we take guidance from a hadeeth by Rasoolullah (hubp ). He was asked the same question and he replied that we should give to the one who deserves it, and also to the one who does not, because Allah gives during times when we are in need, and He gives even during times when we are not in need. We too do not deserve the blessings that Allah has giving us. We just implore Allah to forgive us all our sins. When our chance to distribute comes, then we start differentiating and scrutinizing as to who needs it and who doesn‘t. Wealth does not decrease with sadaqah. Wealth decreases with riba and interest. If you don‘t pay the Zakah, then the wealth becomes impu re. Therefore spend the wealth of Allah in His cause through Zakah, Infaaq and ك لّ عفوbecause when you distribute it, it will circulate in the commun ity. Insha Allah when these practices start, slowly the vulnerability of our society will vanish. We are told that no one is a believer if he eats a
151
Economic Terroris m
66
stomach full and his neighbor remains starving . If this is happening even after giving a lot of sadaqah, how will we be able to face Allah? There are beautiful methods for controlling desires. We have to attack the weak points of a human being. If being stingy is his weakness and wealth does not come out of him, then the only treatment is that he spends in Allah‘s cause forcibly. When he starts distributing, his weaknesses will start disappearing. Even if we eat in the best hotels of the world, we will not be as satisfied as when we sat without eating a single meal and gave it away to someone in need. Our deen does not teach us about asking for our rights; it talks about giving others their rights. A story wellknown among people will help us to understand the status of self respect in our deen. A person brings water to quench the thirst of a wounded soldier after battle and he hears another soldier asking for water. The wounded asks him to give the other first, and when he hurries to the second, he hears another and the second tells him to give the water to third. When he reaches the third, he finds he has already passed away and when he returns to the second he too had passed away and finally when he returns to the first one, he had passed away also. All three become martyrs and do not drink before their brother in Islam. This is the level of sacrifice taught in our deen and the minimu m bench mark. This spirit has vanished from Muslim societies due to Riba. Blessings are taken away when this system starts operating. Prayers stop being answered, sustenance and wealth becomes haraam and the whole co mmunity goes towards sectarianism and conflict and the reason for it all is the fact that they have waged war against Allah and Rasoolullah (hubp ).
Most of the judicial cases in some countries are family disputes between relatives , between brother and sister, daughter and son due to disputes of property and wealth. We have to fear Allah. He has commanded us to distribute inheritance with justice in the society. This would save millions that are spent in courts, there would be equal/ fair distribution of inheritance and there will be peace in the society. We are also advised to be fearful in matters of wo men regarding property. Rasoolullah ( hubp ) himself repeatedly talked about it in the last khutbah. There are numerous atrocities being committed against women in our societies,
66
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas
152

and they are given very little rights in inheritance. They are married to the Quran, their rights are taken away, and they are buried alive or killed so that they wouldn‘t have to be given their inheritance. We have to be careful in their cases because they are dependent on their guardians. We are warned about taking the rightful wealth of someone else through cheating and haraam means. There will not be any blessings on such wealth and it would only earn the person hell-fire. Co mmunities are destroyed when people take over others‘ lands and rights illegally. Daughters have a right in their father‘s wealth when he dies. It has to be given to her, and we should be under no insecurity that our wealth will get distributed into other families, and so marry her to the Quran to prevent and withhold the rightful inheritance. The only reason why people are not accepting inheritance laws as laid down in the Quran is that they are not obeying the rules of Allah, and do not pay Zakah. There are even those who spend their entire lives in maintaining the system of riba or interest. If they do not obey Allah, there will be chaos in the community; and when your house burns you burn too. We have to distribute our wealth. This is obedience to Allah and necessary for a just society. If we are talking about initiating an Islamic economic model, then we have to first focus on est ablishing this system of sharing. These are the fundamentals of deen and the foundation of an Islamic economic model. Another important issue is paying salary on time. Rasoolullah (hubp ) has specifically d iscussed the rights of laborers in the commun ity. They should be paid ‗before their sweat dries‘. When that is done they are granted satisfaction, ease, and an assured feeling of social security. However there is a strange problem in our society where salaries are blocked; payments are not made on time, or never paid at all. Everyone waits for their pay, so that they can pay others who are dependent on them and the problem continues on to other sections. A chain reaction is initiated in the co mmunity and everyone finds himself in trouble and distress. The tranquility of the family is lost when the earning member is under stress, and this spills over to strain the peace of the community. There will be conflicts, fights, murders etc. only because the laborer was not given his rightful dues on time. We should learn to oblige others . If a worker has to be paid 100 at the end of the day, we can give him 120. He becomes happy and content. Remember that we want Allah to be mercifu l to us. If Allah starts giving us only what we deserve then we shall be doomed. We survive only due to His favors and He is favorable only to those who bestow favors on His creations.
153
Economic Terroris m
When people claim to stop workers‘ salaries because they did not work properly, they should imag ine a situation where Allah withholds His blessings because His orders were not acted upon properly. We will be left with nothing in this materialistic world or in the Aakhirah. Always remember that Allah can deal with us in the same manner as we deal with Allah‘s creations. Therefore if Allah has given us wealth and there are people working for us, then we should discipline them only with mercy and generosity. The definit ion of Allah‘s favored ones as mentioned in the Quran is:
ُ))اّلَذٌِهَ ٌُنْفِقُىنَ فًِ اّلسَزَاءِ وَاّلّضَزَاءِ وَاّلْكَاظِمٍِهَ اّلْغٍَْظَ وَاّلْعَافٍِهَ عَهِ اّلنَاسِ ۗ وَاّللَهُ ٌُحِة (( َاّلْمُحْسِنٍِه Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men; for Allah loves those who do good. (Al-Imran: 134) There is a beautifu l incident that took place during the time of Hz Imam Hussein (ra). One day one of his slaves dropped hot food on him. Fo r a mo ment Imam Hussein expressed his disapproval. The slave recited the ayah mentioned above. Imam Hussein then controlled his anger. With the recital of the next part of the ayah, which spoke of forg iving people, he forgave him and then when the slave uttered the last part, about being good to people, Ali set him free. Such is the status of Allah‘s loved ones , of those who change civilizations. The next issue is regarding making use of the agricultural lands. This too has stipulated laws in Islam. There are people who own acres of land wh ich are neither cu ltivated nor given to others to be cultivated. It lies useless with them. The law is that this agricultural land should be cultivated and if it lies barren for three years, it can be given by the state to anyone else who can cultivate it. So whoever has agricultural land and propert y should cultivate it. If the person cannot do it himself then it has to be given to someone else to cultivate. If anyone cultivates a barr en land, then it becomes his property. The crop cultivated there will go into the market and people will gain utility fro m it. There is a shortage of grains and food in the world today. Whoever has the means like land and tools should make use of them and produce food crops as our nations need them. Dealings concerning agricultural lands and pastures owned by the government are specified in the Sunnah. The property of the state is the collective property of the Muslims. We, however, have feudal systems in our countries. Villages have collectively-owned lands and due to inheritance disputes, no one is using those lands. Therefore 154
Economic Terroris m
leaving lands uncultivated, which are resources granted by Allah, is another reason for chaos and injustice in the society, and another instance of disobedience to Allah. Land reforms have a big role in the Islamic econo mic model. When Allah has given us land and property, it becomes a huge responsibility upon us to cultivate and distribute them. These lands will be brought as witness es against us if they were neither cu ltivated nor distributed. Nations were made to die of hunger and people were provoked into disputes, only to make wealth in the world. Allah and Rasoolullah ( hubp ) repeatedly advise us to use wealth for the benefit of Muslims and distribute it; otherwise we will have to pay heavily. Like Zakah on savings, there is Zakah on agricultural produce also. It is the right of Allah and has to be paid; although this law does not apply on those who do not own lands. Muslims who have liquid reserves, do not pay interest and do no t live by dealing in it, should convert them to real wealth, that is gold and silver. These can be kept in bank lockers. It is better to save in real wealth than in dollars in banks, which involves interest. Moreover if wealth is being kept in current accounts and is not earning interest, then as it is lying there and being depreciated anyway and should definitely be converted to real wealth. This is not being forced upon anyone. Everyone can act according to their wishes as we do not live in Muslim co mmunities. People are helpless. It is between the person and Allah. However everyone has to do whatever their capacity allo ws. If something cannot be done, there is no need to feel disappointed. Everyone is trapped in this system. Assets can be made in real wealth. We can either buy lands or keep stocks of wheat, sugar, and any such real wealth co mmodity and pay Zakah and sadaqah on it, and we should try to not keep assets in liquid cash. Insha Allah, there will be blessings from Allah in this. These are basically some things that an individual can do at his level to develop an Islamic economic model.
155
Economic Terroris m
Solutions at a social and community level We have discussed the measures that an individual can implement in his society, for which he does not need support or help from any community or government. One has to take the initiative to bring changes , with the intention of obeying Allah‘s laws; else he will be held responsible for the atrocit ies taking place in the co mmunity. Giv ing Zakah, conforming to inheritance laws, converting cash to real wealth, feeding the poor, and land reforms etc. are steps that can be taken personally by an individual. If many such people gather together and initiate and spread these practices in the commun ity, then naturally these measures will become stronger and more powerfu l at that level. When Muslims mig rated to Madeenah at the end of Makkan era, Rasoolullah ( hubp ) laid the foundations of an Islamic state in Madeenah that cannot be matched by any system. A mosque was built which was the main headquarters for all their act ivities. The internal and external security of Madeenah was addressed by inking an agreement with the Jews of Madeenah for them to live together with the Muslims; and many such pacts were made fo r the development of the Muslims there. We need to revive this remarkable h istory which has been forgotten in present times. Rasoolullah ( hubp ) established the system of brotherhood in Madeenah and emphasized its importance during the farewell pilgrimage. This is known to all Muslims. The Muhajireen were forced to leave their native city of Makkah for the sake of their acceptance of Islam, and they came empty handed to Madeenah leaving their homes, wealth, property, family etc for the love of Allah and Rasoolullah ( hubp ). This was the time when Rasoolullah ( hubp ) made an Ansaari the brother of a Muhajir. Brotherhood started here. He declared that the Ansaar should protect and take care of the Muhajireen just as an actual brother would protect and take care of them. History proves the conviction with which the Ansaar gave them their rights and obeyed Rasoolullah‘s ( hubp ) order word by word. The Ansaar made the Muhajireen equal partners in their home, property, land and wealth to the extent that they even offered to divorce one of their wives for the latter to marry. They helped them to become financially independent and stand firm on their feet. And soon after that the Muhajireen started their own trades and businesses to earn their own income. Two things have to be noted here; the Muhajireen were of such high character that they accepted the help of the Ansaar only because Rasoolullah ( hubp ) had decided on the brotherhood system for purposes of support and guarantee. However they had so much self respect that they became self sufficient as
156
Economic Terroris m
soon as possible and did not become a burden on the Ansaar. The Ansaar on the other hand were ready to sacrifice everything to obey the commands of Rasoolullah (hubp ) and it is difficult to find a similar people anywhere in history. The institution of brotherhood is the foundation of an Islamic econo mic order. It was furthe r emphasized in the last sermon that every Muslim is the brother of his fellow Muslim. Muslims are brothers unto one another, and it is not permissible for a person to take something from his brother other than what this brother gives willingly and with a content heart. Rasoolullah (pbuh) also mentioned that the property, blood and dignity of Muslims are haraam on each other. Today it is important and necessary to revive this institution on a community level. People have become so selfish that the value system today is based and measured only on wealth and materialistic values . Character, faith and God-consciousness are not given any importance or respect in today‘s community. The Islamic order can be formed only where brotherhood is established again on a spiritual level. A Muslim should share whatever is given to him with his Muslim brother at an individual lev el; but this is done mainly on a co mmunity level. Th is is also a concept of protection. All big institutions have their own trade unions and committees, and people organize themselves to ensure the deliverance of their rights. The aim is for people to discipline themselves to create a brotherhood in the community, just as they create and manage major co mmun ities like trad ing associations, business commun ities, export associations etc. The local Mosque can be used as the community centre fro m which they can operate such activities. When Muslims gather at a community level and organize all the principles which were reco mmended at individual levels, it will have a remarkable effect on the society. These are possible events and do not require major revolutions in the commun ity. At present there are NGOs (Non Govern ment Organizations) and various Muslim charity organizations, and many similar institutions in different countries. The concept of brotherhood is obligatory in polarized co mmunit ies so that it creates a relationship among its members based on faith and humanity and not on nationalism, language etc. However if groups and associations avoid such a concept of brotherhood which is co mmanded by Allah and Rasoolullah ( hubp ), then nations will definitely d isintegrate on the basis of nationalism, language, tribalism etc. This is the reason why their differences are exp loited during conflicts and wars.
157

There are three major steps to be taken immediately : A commun ity Bait ul Maal should be established. This is not a bank, but an institution where flour, rice, wheat and other commodities are kept. For examp le, people liv ing co-operatively in a constituency with its own marketplace should have an area committee, mosque committee, market co mmittee etc. Here they should make a collective Bait ul Maal where every family gives commodities to th is institution, like a sack of flour, rice, wheat, oil etc. This should be distributed among those members of the society who are poor, helpless, orphans etc. These would be people fro m the same co mmunity, and they should be registered with the Bait u l Maal. The concept of social security (Kifaalah) should be implemented on an individual level and on a community level. In a constituency some people may be very rich, some just above the poverty line, and some very poor. Allah has distributed wealth in all communities. It is the responsibility of the wealthy of that community that they gather together in the Masjid and make arrangements for the social security of the poor there by registering the people in need (the helpless, poor, orphans, widows, the handicapped who need support, those who have an income but not enough to satisfy their needs and those who do not have an income at all) with the Mosque. Collective feeding of the poor should be initiated. The ideal model that should be created is one in which no man sleeps hungry. There should be no community in a nation where it is time for a meal, and some people eat and ignore those starving around them. How can there be a marketplace of 300-400 shops with stocks worth millions and on the other hand there are people around the Mosque who sleep starving? Co mmunity level solutions are very easy to imp lement. We can discuss only those measures that are manageable. Area co mmittees, market co mmittees , labor unions of factories etc are manageable. The Mosque and market centers of all areas can be converted into community centers. The fundamental parameter here is a Bait ul Maal, where a system of social security and the distribution of food twice a day for the have-nots are arranged through registration. There are communit ies in our nations where people have made arrangements to feed the poor people regularly, but this is not done as an institution. There are communit ies where one can eat any time one goes there. People started such honorable activities a long time back, and they are still being carried on, even after their deaths. This system has to be spread in every area, in every city
158

and every nation. This is the fundamental aspect of our deen. Our countries would be in a very shamefu l and sorry state if there are people in market areas that are starving, and there are others who eat to their hearts‘ content. There should not be any area or city where the people of the co mmunity do not register the have-nots of the community and do not provide them with social security every month. It can be done through a Bait ul Maal, or personally, like delivering food to them or paying their children‘s school fees or providing them med ical treat ment. Another revolutionary step is the coming together of associations like the Jewelers‘ association, traders‘ association, exporters‘ association and gold association to issue gold and silver coins with their guarantees. The measurement laid out in Shariah for 1 Islamic Deenar is 4.25 g m of 22 carat gold and 7 Deenars would be equal to 10 Dirhams, which are Silver coins. This is the standard weight, and it is being issued in Malaysia. Muslim co mmunities in different countries of the world are gathering together to issue coins with the gold Deenar standards. People dealing in gold should issue gold and silver coins according to Shariah and start spreading them in the co mmunity by paying Zakah in them. It would not be just a coin with the backing of pure gold but pure gold itself, which has existed in the history of human civilizations for thousands of years. If these coins are not available in the market, then the existing gold and silver biscuits can be used, or they can be custom made for the purpose. Thus the wealthy members of the community should come forward to guarantee this response, and thereby establish this system again. How to deal with the aspects of security, transfer of money fro m one place to another etc. when dealing in gold? This should be done the same way as paper money is transferred. The next step after the issue of gold and silver currency would be the establishment of gold exchanges or gold Bait ul Maals in the same configuration as banks. The only difference would be the employ ment of gold and silver coins instead of the paper currency. Muslim communit ies should establish such gold exchanges, where gold accounts can be opened. These concepts are already being discussed at advanced levels and there are gold exchanges already operating in countries like the UA E where gold accounts will be opened, gold will be transferred and checks will be issued against gold. We have discussed completely the orig in of checks and credit cards, and the present state of affairs. This process has to be slowly reversed. If a person has a savings of Rs.10, 000, 000 he can buy gold with it through the gold exchange services, and keep an account in gold. Through this process he can possess real wealth. He can als o save it in bank
159
Economic Terroris m
lockers, or open an account in safe deposits and keep it there. These services should be available to Muslim merchants because this cannot be carried out by the poor. Their economic system cannot be destroyed with the help of guns and tanks. We have to bring a gradual revolution and bypass their system. The bypass will be done by distributing gold and silver in the poorest section of the society through Zakah, so that the real wealth reaches that level. Then the system of social security and feeding the poor should be established at the community level by creating a Bait ul Maal per area, so that they get a chance to stabilize. The wealthy should issue gold and silver coins and distribute them among the poor sections. Then gold exchanges should be established among Muslims who want to trade among themselves in gold and silver, as the rise and fall of in flat ion is so great on paper currency that it has become practically undependable. When quotations are made in gold, they can be measured in kilos or pounds of gold. When Muslim communities decide issues among themselves, they should start using gold standards once again. It is the responsibility of the rich to make g old exchanges so that all trade deals are done in gold once again. People might consider all this unbelievable and impossible. However we can rest assured that it is not unattainable. Mahathir Mohammad of Malaysia has propagated these concepts at an international level. For examp le, when nations trade among themselves and a country buys something fro m Malaysia fo r $10,000,000 and Malaysia buys commodit ies from that country for $8,000,000, then the balance of $2,000,000 should be paid for in gold and the rest of the commodities should be exchanged as barter. This concept is a very high quality economic model wh ich people like the A merican presidential candidate Ron Paul and Mahathir Mohammad of Malaysia have put forward for an ideal and just economic monetary model. We just have to put it into action. When there is a sudden demand for gold in the market, can its value fall? With Allah‘s mercy there is so much gold available in the world. There is no deficiency of wealth and resources in the world. We just have to cancel the deals with the west concerning these resources.

Checks and balances We are not discussing hi-fi issues which require audit ing and the involvement of international auditors. When people give charity to the Mosque, charity boxes are already present there and no auditing is done, and the whole procedure is kept very simple on purpose. The scale of the activity need not be worried about. It simp ly involves feeding the poor two meals a day. The Masjid committee should be able to manage that. Even if people cheat in the process, they will still be feeding the poor along with it. If the basic pillars of Faith and Sadaqah are not there then nothing will be achievable. However we cannot abandon something so good for fear of deception. We simply have to restart the system which has been totally disregarded for a long time. The main reason for the crisis in the world today is because people have neither food security nor social security. Individuals might get sick and may not have money for treatment; even if they do have an income, it is only enough to somehow make ends meet for a month. If an emergency arises there is no social security. This can only be provided by the whole commun ity for the weaker sections of the society. It becomes the responsibility of those whom Allah has blessed with wealth to take care of the poor. There is also the concept of Qardh Hasan which is a major part of Bait ul Maal. The poor who need money can take loans from there instead of the bank which takes interest. They can pay it back without interest or if they cannot, it can be forgiven. They should not become full time beggars. We have to help them support themselves. We can start businesses for them with loans and provide an education to take them forward. A coordinated network between the rich and the poor should be established in every commun ity. Brotherhood is manifestation of the social security concept; a collective insurance arrangement where people can rest assured that they do not have to worry; there are brothers in the commun ity who will take care of them. This would be due to their relat ionship based on the same deen, praying in the same Masjid, and living in the same area. The concept of Brotherhood is so strong that even inheritance can be given to them. If these basic laws of character are applied, nations will become mo re stable. No-one will then commit suicide due to hunger, or abandon their households because they could not take care of their children or fulfill their needs etc. Once all this starts in some communit ies, others will fo llow automatically. Govern ments are doing it but it has to be done individually an d collectively also. We can set up institutions to feed
161
Economic Terroris m
the poor in all areas in the same manner as post offices and telephone offices are established in all areas. We don‘t have to wait for anyone. People will be able to contribute themselves. These may look like baby steps but they will bring major changes and weaken the existing global economic system, which is trying to starve people to death. It has distributed wealth unequally. We have to arrange for food and social security of the people and spread the act at a national level.

Overview We need not clash headon with their system; we can bypass it. We can leave it in its place, develop solutions and slowly shift to them. We just have to obstruct the success of their intentions. They want us to starve to death; we must feed the poor. They do not want any system of social security in countries and wish to create conflicts between them and spread chaos; we must provide social security without any partiality, take responsibility of the weak in the society at a collective level, use Mosques as community centers where they can be fed, register them for help and for Qardh Hasan. There will be mistakes, deceptions and problems. But this should be done in spite of all that. Everyone can contribute and do their part, fro m feed ing the poor to establishing the gold exchange. Major trading deals can be sealed through the gold exchange without government intervention and without declaring war against the existing banking system. Govern ments will only support and respect such moves. We simply have to organize, and make an institution of this system in all areas in our countries, and start forming an Islamic economic model against the Zionist banking system. It is a possible task. Our model is our Islamic history of 1400 years. We should take the initiative, leave behind the governments and help ourselves. When no one in the community sleeps hungry and when the less fortunate are not worried about their sustenance and security, then blessings will start pouring in. ―There is enough for everybody‘s need but there is not enough for everybody‘s greed‖. Therefore desires should be limited and extra wealth should be placed in the Bait ul Maal to see how many families are helped with that contribution. When there is a social uplift of the people around us, then everyone will move forward. There will be no beggars; there will be less crime and less negativity in the society. People will not have reason to beg as everyone would know there is a system of social security in the society. Charity should not be stopped due to some deceiving people. No one should talk about partiality, tribalis m, language etc. Everyone should be favored. The economic model should be repaired through gold exchanges and trading. Muslims keep money in banks as they do not have opportunities to invest. When gold exchanges and intercommunity trading takes place, they will have opportunities within the Muslim commun ities and the money will be circulated. Islamic mutual funds, profit-loss sharing etc. can be established for investment opportunities at the community level. Insha Allah, Allah will bless us.

Solutions at State level There is no doubt of the fact that if complete, collective and strong change has to be brought about, then the existing government has a major ro le in it. Authority and leadership is established on earth to entrust responsibility for maintaining laws and discipline in the world. If the people have to tell the government what to do for the benefit of the country, then it means that the existing government is not worthy of ruling the nation. When they take this huge, sacrosanct responsibility on their shoulders , it is expected that they will be eligible to comp lete this liability. If they are corrupt and deceiving, then they are not going to accept and work on whatever suggestions are given. However if they are sincere and are eager to learn, then a leader would always know what steps to be taken for the benefit, security and prosperity of the country. Whoever accepts these suggestions will do a good turn to Muslims. It is possible for people to have conflicts regarding the polit ical issues of a country, but a Muslim nation‘s basic laws are always based on the Quran and Sunnah, as the authority of the whole universe is with Allah. He has made man only His representative and made him responsible to run countries according to the laws that He has laid down. The government of a Muslim country should allo w its people to live according to the Quran and Sunnah, and they should not be forced otherwise. An oath should be taken that the country will be gov erned by the Islamic laws of equality, social justice, economic justice, food security etc. This is an aspect which cannot be contradicted by anyone. No system in the country should be based on exp loitation, suppression, usury, chaos etc; this is against the Quran and Sunnah. By accepting the system of usury and thus declaring war against Allah and Rasoolullah (hubp ), the State is accountable to Allah on the Day of Judgment, and also to His creations for going against the laws on which the country‘s political system is founded. Such rulers are shameless and they deceive the nation; they are answerable to the judicial system. The government should sincerely spread law and order and establish peace and security. In the Quran, A llah reminds the Quraish how He showered His blessings on them and that they have to be thankful to him.

―For the covenants (of security and safeguard enjoyed) by the Quraish, Their covenants (covering) journeys by winter and summer, Let them adore the Lord of this House, Who provides them with food against hunger, and with security against fear (of danger)‖ .(Quraish:1-4) Allah has emphasized two aspects in this ayah. He says He fed them when they were hungry and delivered them fro m fear, that is, He provided them all types of security and improved law and order. When we refer to this in context of today‘s times, then the basic requirement fro m any government that is blessed with authority over a nation is that it has to establish two things –food security and law and order. They are given the responsibility of the means and resources of the whole nation and are thus accountable for the whole nation‘s food security and law and order. On ly when these issues are secured can we proceed with other issues and establish justice.

Bribery and Corruption The major reason for chaos and restlessness in a country is corruption, which is a crisis of morality. The individual given the responsibility of the Bait ul Maal of the Muslims is easily corrupted by greed of acquisition of money. Black marketing is the res ult of corruption. Countries‘ resources are removed and sold in the black market, wh ich 67
results in the rise of costs. Nepotism and inequality also play a part in this. Jobs are given on the basis of recommendation, not on merit. People are given responsibilities concerning the burden of Muslims‘ wealth, that they are incapable of shouldering. Rasoolullah (hubp ) has mentioned the characteristics of corrupt leaders; they are those who consider the wealth of the Bait ul Maal their pocket money, and governments come under those who are not worthy enough. The existence of these hurdles will not let us achieve the recommended aims and goals for the progress of the society. 68
There is the law of Qisaas in the Quran
i.e. life for a life, eye for an eye, hand for a hand. Whoever commits
injustice has to be punished, and justice should be established. There are Muslim countries that have removed this law fro m the political system and are going against the Quran and Sunnah, even though they have taken oaths to run the government according to these two guidelines . Allah says your life‘s security is on Qisaas. (( َُُ٘رَزَق
ٌُْ)) َٗىَنٌُْ فًِ اىْقِّصَبصِ حٍََبحٌ ٌَب أُٗىًِ اىْؤَىْجَبةِ ىَؼَيَن
―In the Law of Equality there is (saving of) Life to you, O ye men of understanding; that ye may restrain yourselves.‖ (Al Baqarah: 179) People are terrorized in Muslim nations , but no-one is ever punished. The projection of deficiency of resources in a country is not due to the lack of resources , but due to moral corruption of the legal system. Legal o fficers help thieves and dacoits to come clean instead of aiding the establishment of justice. We have to change these systems , and desperate times call for desperate measures. China has capital punishment for bribery as it is a major crisis. Justice should be visible to the people. This is the responsibility of the judicial system, the government and the leaders.

The state will also have to control and contain all the unnecessary expenditure of leaders and officials. Even now the premier of Iran uses a 1977 model vehicle, lives in the 60 year old family house of his ancestors, his son‘s wedding was celebrated in a simp le manner, and he sleeps on the floor. He too is a leader of a country. Fidel Castro is also of the same caliber and the people love him; so the west could not remove him. We have examples set by our leaders like Rasoolullah (hubp ), the Khulafa-e-Rashideen, Omar bin Abdul Aziz and many others. They were those who showed unmatched qualities of leadership. When the leaders are just and spend knowing that the money is something that belongs to the people, then justice will auto matically prevail. Thus the aim should be to manage resources with wisdom and decrease expenditure tax. Then the state will not have to trouble the people for anything. Yousuf‘s (A) examp le has to be followed here. He made his country prosper due to his proper execution of responsibilit ies as finance minister, and his qualities of being ٌٍ ػيand حّفٍظ.
An amazing resolution put forward by Mohammad Ali Jinnah of Pakistan in July 1948, just before his death, has to be mentioned here. He urgently wanted the people to know about it. This speech, which is an advice to make an Islamic economic system, was concealed until it was found during research. The following is an excerpt fro m his speech: ―We should be able to establish a banking system which is based on Islam and establish justice in the nation. The economic system given to us by the west is so useless and horrible that they have failed to remove the problems and difficult ies of humanity and only a miracle can save the world. The western economic system has not done justice between people and wars have been waged due to that. The western world has advanced a lot in its industry and mechanization. Even so, such a mess was never created in human h istory. If we adopt the economic model o f the west, then we will never be able to reach our aims and never be able to bring prosperity to the people of the nation. We have to improve our fates by all means and give the world an economic model whose foundation is on Is lamic principles, justice and equality. Social justice should be established between people. We would have completed our mission only when we as Muslims can give such a message to humanity that will bring prosperity and happiness based on Islamic principles‖. 167

He categorically said that if we adopt the western economic system we will be destroyed. All that we have discussed here was mentioned by Jinnah in 1948, and we have proved this beyond doubt. When we look fro m the Islamic, econo mic and historic p oint of v iew we will not find such an immoral econo mic system as that of the West today. Their system‘s aim is to kill people through starvation and famine. Their o wn documents claim that the world has 6 billion people and this will have to be reduced to 1 billion. Thus they are planning to kill 5 b illion people in the next 20 years through famine, war, disease etc. As initiating wars is a costly affair and they too lose manpower, diseases and famines are better deals. They control the food supply and create food shortage. They produce medicines so that they will be able to treat themselves, but they spread diseases world wide and sell the medicines at such high costs that the poor can‘t afford them and people die in millions like insects. This is the gift of the western economic model. We must implement external and internal steps against this. In the Islamic model, there is equal distribution of wealth. Everyone‘s bare minimu m needs are satisfied. There will of course be rich and poor, but no one would be below the poverty line. No one would starve or be without a home, and all essential needs would be taken care of. When we help people reach such a stage then they are uplifted fro m the lower to the middle class. Middle class members should be the most abundant and lower class members the least. We have times in history when Zakah was distributed with such justice that a time came when people did not want any more Zakah. There were those who wanted to give Zakah, but the people taking it had either prospered greatly, or they had so much self respect that they did not want to accept any, and due to the presence of employ ment opportunities they wished to work to earn a liv ing. They were not starved. In an Islamic economy people would help and care for each other. They will not have to take private insurance for their child ren , as the state would be responsible for them even if any emergency arose. Omar (ra) said that even if a dog died on the banks of the Tigris, he would be responsible for it. No other economic model in the world can provide such an examp le of leadership. This is not possible with the Western economic system. Their aim is to make the poor, poorer and the rich, richer. We absolutely do not have a choice now but to change the system. Today 97% of the cash flow of England is controlled by private banks. The government has control of only 3%. The principle of the Islamic economic system that wealth should not be accumulated in a few hands has been flouted here. The Islamic model does not embrace the concept of private banks.

Due to fractional reserve banking inflated money starts entering the market artificially. However there won‘t be that many printed bank notes, even in reality. This disrupts the economic system comp letely. A stable economic system is based on real wealth, where cash supply increases slowly and inflation does not occur and a balance is always maintained. Ho wever if the quantity of the commodity is the same and the money supply increases, people rush to buy more of the co mmodity and its price rises. This simp le principle starts developing due to fractional reserve banking which prevails in all private banks , and they can not function without it. Even if we use paper money for a litt le while outside the Zionist Banking System, and the System of Fractional Reserve Banking is not reformed, then the entire money supply should be with the government and not the private banks.
The chairman of the Bank of England stated in 1920
69
in a banker‘s commun ity: ‗we bankers destroy societies and
spread chaos among people. If the world needs peace and security, then the Private Banking system has to be eradicated.‖ Thus we have to restrict the system of Private Banking in our countries. They have drowned people in debt through credit cards and loans, changed our life styles and converted us to a consumer society fro m a producing society. A person who was previously fulfilling only his needs is going mad over-fulfilling his desires now. They have taken away the disciplines of the society and destroyed it; this is the specialty of private bankers. They cannot function without money lending and taking interest. If we need a proper econo mic system, fractional reserve banking based private banks have to be uprooted fro m the co mmunity. It is now very clear how the private banking system changes the community and controls it. Some of their basic parameters are:
―The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin…..bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with a flick of the pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again…….take this great power away from them and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for then this would be a better world to live in …… but if you want to continue to be slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.‖ The writings of Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England, at the University of Texas, 1920. http://www.thewaterengine.com/law/banks/Banking%20system.doc 69

The major harm o f a private banking system is that wealth gets accumulated in a few hands , whose motto is not profit but greed and aim is to gain control of the society. When this happens it is a complete recipe for disaster. This is not supposed to come about according to the Quran and Sunnah. The private banking system‘s strongest exercise, which results in spreading their practices (debt and riba), is fractional reserve banking. The system of usury on loans that are based on fractional reserve banking. The global economic model base shifted fro m gold to paper, then fro m paper to dig ital and then fro m dig ital to chips that are inserted into the human body. The instrument for all this is priv ate banking. Therefore when we elaborate, the instruments of private banking are: Paper and digital currency Usury, on the basis of which they give loans Fractional Reserve Banking through which inflation or cost rises in the society. When a person kills 40 people, we call him a terrorist. What do we call those people and institutions that spread economic terrorism around the world through the Zionist banking system which causes millions to die? People would die in larger numbers due to their banking system than from nuclear weapons. The food crisis, fuel crisis, inflat ion, high costs, strategy of currency devaluation, stock crisis, manipulation of food, fuel and energy resources around the world etc. cannot be solved as long as private banking exists in the world. Private bankers themselves acknowledge all this. They are a disgrace to humanity and the universe as they are touched by shaitaan as mentioned in the Quran. The employees of the bank might be sincere and not aware of the fact that they are part of a global system which results in the destruction of societies, communities, nations and eventually the whole world; but this does not change anything. The book ‗The Confessions of an Economic Hit Man‘ will give info rmation and proof beyond doubt about how the banking system is used to manipulate the money supply of a society to create inflation and cause destruction in different countries.

Our elders always warned us against loans and interest. However the present scenario is such that young generations are looking for reasons and methods to take loans for vacations , shopping, education and vehicles etc; the whole society is drowned in loans. So much money is poured into the market due to leasing and lending that a car could be cheaper if bought through bank installments and at a higher p rice if paid for in cash. So much importance is given to desires, and the usage of credit cards, chip cards and debit cards, and they claim that the prosperity of future is in them. Thus to establish a global economy and a global government, it beco mes important for them to make people their slaves, and have them believe that their future benefit is only in becoming slaves to them through usury. Previously, during times of physical slavery in the British colonial plantations , there used to be two types of slaves. There were slaves who used to reside in their masters‘ ho mes, to serve them. They were given good dresses to wear, good food to eat etc. and lived in the lu xurious houses of their masters; but they were still slaves. The other type included those working in the fields, who were repeatedly punished, whose hands used to be cut and who were given capital punishments. They did not have food to eat and looked eagerly into waste fro m the master‘s house to find something to eat. There are two types of slaves even in the modern economic world whose masters are the Zionists and the Freemasons. People claim that their system is quite successful in the west with their lu xurious lifestyles, but in reality they too are debt-ridden. They are those slaves who live in the house of their masters; so the master treats them well outwardly because they have to serve the masters and run the system. The rest of the world constitutes the second kind of slaves, who work in the fields and are given leftovers for sustenance. This shows us that they should by no means be given the green flag to run this economic system. Thus even if some people are leading good lives under this economic system, they are still slaves. If humanity has to be freed from slavery, the fundamental law to be followed is the principle and reason of religion; and a just economic model must be created. As Omar (ra) said, Allah created humans as free people so how could anyone enslave them? Freedom does not necessarily mean belonging to a nation, carrying a flag and boasting of a nationalist feeling. Freedo m also means to liberate our community, economic system and sustenance from the economic clutches of th e Zionist banking system, and to be able to support ourselves . They are going to destroy us with their instruments anyway. We have no choice but to slow down and move towards the natural economic model available to us.

The question now is, if we remove the private banks fro m our co mmun ity, how do we transfer currency, issue checks and proceed with similar dealings? There are government banks in countries which are not profit or gree d driven, like the private banks that try to lend and lease money with as much interest as possible. One banker in England said that ‗if we only are g iven the power to deposit, we can buy the whole society overnight.‘ This can be possible only with private banks. A person‘s basic requirements are that he be able to keep his money in the bank, withdraw it, issue checks, transfer money etc. This can also be done through government banks. Thus first, private banks should be eliminated. It is mentioned in the original papers of the Zionists that when they establish a global economy and control the world through it, they will not let anyone else open up private banks. Only their own, state-controlled banks would exist. They started private banks to destroy the world, but when Zionist control is established, they will not let anyone else start any private banks. They make policies independently and change the complete economic, social and moral fabric o f the community. It is just like a terrorist, terrorizing the entire co mmunity.

Alternatives Private Banks are extremely no xious and have to be effectively sidelined until they do not remain in a position to affect the working of the economy. The process for discouraging private banks is as follo ws: Refusing to deal in interest. They will immediately co llapse. Refusing to do banking based on Fractional Reserve Banking. They should be allowed to give loans only fro m the money that they actually have. Banning them fro m getting the community involved in credit cards, loans , lending, false credit etc. Their foundation is based on usury and its different derivatives , all o f which are immoral. If one of these is removed, they will collapse. We are liv ing in a commun ity where it is impossible to shift overnight from paper currency to gold economy. However the cruel nature and immo ral aspects of this system can be gradually reduced and reversed. The most evil feature of paper currency is that money supply is in private hands. Thus first we must remove it fro m these private hands and place it under the control of the state. A government bank can provide all the basic services that a community needs to function, like deposits, accounts, transfer of money, loans etc. It is called a ‗BANK‘ because it is based on paper currency and when it changes to the ‗Go ld System‘, we will call it the ‗Bait ul Maal‘. As it is controlled by the government, it does not involve the motives of private bankers and will not pro mote credit cards, leasing, lending etc. so much as to block the routine of the commun ity. Therefore this can slow down the speed of money circu lation, and the situation can be controlled. Countries are ablaze with loans, inflat ion etc. and these have become literally out of control due to private banks. We have to decelerate a little so that we can operate whilst staying in this system of paper currency, and make some stable policies. Govern ment banks, state banks and nationalized banks will have to take more responsibilit ies. They do not have any need or compulsion to take up the practices of private banking, like fractional reserve banking, credit cards etc. There are three hostile elements – paper currency, riba and Fractional Reserve Banking. Paper currency can be eradicated in the end. First riba and Fractional Reserve Ban king have to be eliminated.

Govern ment institutions have accounts in the National Bank and they take interest on those accounts; and the national banks use those deposits to give forward as loans with interest at corporate level. When the government banking system takes over, they will have to stop dealing in interest; but even then they can make profits and sustain themselves in many ways: When the control of the complete money supply of the community comes into the hands of government banks from private banks and fractional reserve banking is banned; they cannot give loans more than what they actually have.
The government should decide to stop dealing in interest. The government‘s institutions should neither take interest from the government bank, nor should they give loans with interest. Even with the paper currency model, they can deal in so many banking practices wh ich are known to be Islamic banking practices. For example investing in property, halaal business deals, etc. These are practical steps that can be taken against interest. There is a limit to their shamelessness. The war against Allah and Rasoolullah ( hubp ) must be stopped. There will be no loss in sustenance and nothing will be damaged if deals involving giving and taking interest are stopped. The government banks should only deal with as much as they have. Even though current accounts in banks are not Islamic, deposits can be ke pt in them as they do not earn interest. These steps can be implemented easily as they are the internal matters of a country. The government banks that give loans at corporate levels should also not take interest. All deals within the country should be on an interest-free basis. Allah will only increase blessings with this, and sustenance will not be reduced. There can be a mediu m of investment within the country that will allow profit to be made through legal means like Sharakat, Mudarabah and investment in property, land etc. Islamic banks do engage in Shariah-co mp liant deals even though dealing in paper currency is not Islamic. When all these steps are implemented, the pace at which the community grows will slow down, inflation and the downward trend of the economy and society, with the blessings of Allah, will be removed. People may claim that progress has slowed down, but on the contrary, stability is what will be expected in the future.

At present, banks have started increasing interest rates to control inflation, and are trying to antidote haraam with haraam. However the natural technique to control this artificial inflation, which is a consequence of fractional reserve banking, is to stop taking interest and remove this instrument altogether. First we have to make the economy stable by trying to eliminate immoral paper currency dealings. The Zionist system has no choice but go for this system of paper currency, even if we attack their majo r pillars such as fractional reserve banking, riba, private banking etc. If these three pillars are attacked and the fourth pillar (paper currency) is replaced, the alternate economic model would be formed. This is the secret that they have been hiding for the last hundred years. People are made to believe that there cannot be any other system of economy. Thus all the aspects of the Zionist banking system have been broken down and simp lified here for a better understanding and faster implementation of solutions. The latter will not disrupt the economy or create unrest in the society. People can still take loans from the government. This loan can be based on Sharakat (partnership basis) which is profit-loss sharing and similar methods. For the time being the people and the government can keep current accounts in the bank, even though both the bank and paper currency are haraam. When the government takes a loan, it should not be based on interest. The government has to be careful that their expenditure is not paid with interest money, as this results in corruption. We have to realize the princip le of spending only what we have. The interest factor has to be removed fro m calculations in government banks. An economy with zero interest rate will be a stable economy, and for this we have proofs from the records of history. It will amount to collective suicide if we do not replace the existing system. When the money supply comes into the hands of the state, it becomes its responsibility to provide food security, fuel security, economic security etc. to the nation. The government should also move to wards social security, which is bringing a genuine Bait ul Maal into existence. Insecurity is the main reason for people to take loans fro m private banks, and this sentiment has to be rectified by the government. As discussed earlier, Kennedy started a parallel system to break the hold of the Federal Reserve Ba nk, and there were two currency systems in the west at the time. In this way, Kennedy did not need to take loans from the Federal Reserve. We have to make a similar alternative system.
175
Economic Terroris m
With the establishment of a genuine Bait ul Maal based on real wealth, an Islamic welfare state that satisfies all the needs of its people i.e. basic fundamentals like housing, education, health, pure drin king water, electricity, gas etc would be set up. The measures that were discussed at a community level should be implemen ted at a national level. When we spend the assets of the Bait ul Maal as a trust and responsibility and without deception, a stable Islam economic system is established and all the needs of the community will be satisfied. The most critical function of the Bait ul Maal would be the issuing of the official gold and silver coins as a parallel currency. They can issue paper, gold and silver coins, but should not fix a conversion rate between the paper currency and the real currency. The prices of the coins should be those of the international market. The result would be an increase in the intrinsic value of gold and silver coins in the international market. People will not melt those coins instead of using them as currency. The wealth reserved in gold and silver coins will be protected in line with the international prices of these commodit ies. The government should implement this so that the Muslims can pay Zakah with it and make savings in real wealth. If this is put into practice, paper currency can be gradually phased out and the nation can move towards a gold and silver economy. Ult imately, Nat ional banks can also be replaced by a Bait ul Maal. Th is transformation is possible without any complications. The solutions are very simple to implement and can be completed within 2-3 years. The application of these solutions will stop corruption; land resources will be used; economic and social justice will be secured in the society, and there will be prosperity in the country. We have discussed the steps a government can apply internally in the country to stabilize and control the economy. It is the mandate of the IMF and the World Bank to destroy a country when they operate there. Moreover, the IMF charter contains the clause that no country may emp loy gold standards and deal in gold and silver. Thus when governments start implementing these steps they should not let IMF and World Bank co me near them.
176

Solutions at an International level Next are steps that a government should take whilst dealing with other nations. These steps will help nations to be economically independent and support themselves: When nations formulate their national and international economic policies, the difficulty they face is the major intervention fro m the IMF and World Bank. This happens particularly in the case of the developing countries. The IMF and World Bank are the two major instruments used for the economic enslavement of countries by the Zionist economic system. When a country is in need, the IMF and World Bank o ffer to give loans which have a majo r policy known as the ―Structural Reform Package‖ attached to them. Th is means that they will control the economic methodology and institutions of that needy country, which results in the appointment of their representatives in all the strategic positions related to the economy of the nation. These would be citizens of the country in question, but on the Zionists‘ salary. They also start forcing the government to increase gas prices, electricity prices, to stop giving subsidies for agricultural pro jects, to initiate d ifferent types of taxes and burden the people. Thus, instead of benefiting the nation with the borrowed money, they destroy the nation. If we continue accepting the conditions of the IMF and World Bank then it will never be possible to become economically independent. Therefore the fundamental condition is to keep away fro m these institutions. The policy of the Islamic economic system is to revive the gold standard which is co mpletely against the mandate of the IMF and the World Bank. Thus when countries start making independent economic policies, the first war fought is always against these institutions. The dollar standard should be rejected and alternative currencies should be looked int o. During the time of Rasoolullah ( hubp ) when the Ro man and Persian emp ires clashed, the Muslims took advantage and achieved their own goals. Similarly, in today‘s economic wars, major western currencies can be clashed and weakened against each other. This can result in the paving of an easy way to establish the Islamic economic order. Rockets and missiles need not be fired to break the Zionist economic
177
Economic Terroris m
system. We have to reject their currencies and stop using them. For examp le, very few people know that the reason for the major conflict of the West with previously Iraq and now Iran is their rejection of the use of dollars in the trade of oil. The trade of o il around the world takes place in dollars. When Iraq wanted to carry out trade in Euros, the West attacked them. Now Iran, along with Russia and Venezuela has also decided to reject dollars in their oil trade and do it in Euros instead. If these three countries that are rich in oil and gas create an energy exchange based on Euros, the dollar will crash and start going back into the American economy, which does not have enough fronts to absorb the load. The initiation of a single foreign exchange that does not trade in dollars will destroy them comp letely. Even the non -Muslim countries are striving to control the means and resources of their nations themselves. Thus the nation‘s own foreign exchange should be converted and international trading should be done in all those currencies that are competing against the dollar. In this manner one currency can be destroyed through another as they are both weak, and the nation that has real wealth will be successful. Another reason for the crashing of the dollar is the wars they have initiated. They are supporting these wars by taking loans from countries like China, Japan and Saudi Arabia. America is now so completely drowned in debt that there is no hope of these loans ever being returned. Consequently, when these countries stop buying bonds from America and decide that they will not finance American wars any more, then the dollar will plunge, never to rise again. Therefore they are currently considering the concept of the Amero (the currency of the North American union) and of dissolving the dollar itself. It is a primary requirement for our nations to convert all the foreign exchange reserves from dollars to another currency. For examp le, Saudi Arabia invested all the petrodollars that t hey earned in the last 60 years in the American economy. The Quran mentions that there are some Jews who will not return even one dirham of your money unless their lives are at stake (Al-Imran: 75). Muslims have already made the mistake of investing 90% of their money in A merica. After 9/ 11 a case was taken up against Saudi Arabia in A merica, as they claimed the hijackers to be Saudi nationals. They charged a fine of 2.50 trillion dollars from Saudi Arabia , which amounts to the complete Saudi investment there, and this was seized under this context. Now how can any Country, whose complete reserves are kept in the west, go against them? The West will most certainly put economic sanctions on the
178
Economic Terroris m
country and seize the money. They have done this with other states too. When revolution broke out in Iran during the Shah‘s time, their b illions of dollars in A merican banks were fro zen. Therefore, instead of taking interest from the west and storing our money in their foreign exchange reserves, we must convert it into real, strategic gold reserves. The Euro is a currency that does not have the backing of one country as the other currencies do, but even then the next logical step is to start trading in Euros as the dollar is crashing. This can lead to the clash of the dollar and the Euro. Both the currencies are controlled by the same Zionist system, the Federal Reserve and Bank of England, a dangerous combination. In spite of that, both sides do have their own national interests. They have conflicts and even fight for business interests like the old conflicts of Boeing and Airbus. These conflicts should be taken advantage of and their currencies should be made to clash. The support of other economies that are trying to stand against the western economy can be acquired for the purpose, like China, the Russian bloc, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba and so many other major energy producing nations. Some liquid cash in diversified currencies can be used to trade with other countries in the international market on a short term basis. Present day leaders like Mahathir Mohammad of Malaysia, Ron Paul of America and all the serious economic policy makers realize that a gold-based economic model has to be revived. Dr. Mahathir put forward the concept that when Muslim countries trade within their o wn economic bloc, they should base it on real wealth instead of dollars and Eu ros. Like the examp le g iven earlier (which suggested a system involving bartering goods to the possible extent, and paying for surplus value in gold), new avenues in this concept should be worked out in wh ich so much gold won‘t be exchanged during to bilateral relations. Letters of credit should also be based on gold. Muslim and non-Muslim countries together possess enough wealth. Non-Muslims sell mostly to Muslim countries , which makes it easier for Muslim countries to set conditions. Muslims can insist on bilateral trading with no interest, loans etc. Quotations should be given in gold and payments should be based on real wealth. Like the European Union, the Muslim countries too can create a bloc in which trade would be carried out on a basis of gold and silver, and not in paper currency like the Eu ro. As leaders are appointed by the IMF an d World Bank, it becomes a crime to discuss such issues. However putting these measures into action and going against them is easier than generally believed.
179

To derive advantage from the situation, corruption has to be eliminated fro m our countries. For example , in Ch ina when a contractor constructed a road and corruption was involved, the contractor was made to lie on the same road and a road roller was run over h im. After that the roads were constructed properly there. Thus to stop corruption, the punishment has to be strict and even ruthless at times. The next step is to stop taking loans and trying to live within the means of the country and using the allocated money for the right purpose. Resources and expenses should be controlled. Service-based deals like Sharakat should be made with Muslim countries. Finally all economic policies, foreign policies and defense policies will reap huge profits and the Muslims will successfully be able to make an independent Islamic bloc wh ich will be free fro m the Western economic system. The West does not give fair prices for the exports of other nations. Even if the prices are increasing, their pay ment has still been the same for the last 40 years. They kept the price of oil below a certain level for many years. Therefore higher prices must be demanded. All the Muslim states and developing nations should stand hand in hand against the Western Zionist system. They will fight each and everyone and become helpless in the end. This religion is not a religion of the weak; it is the deen of the valiant and the courageous. W e have to take strict decisions to save our commun ity and we have to be firm on our deen.

The Stock Exchange Whether it is the New York Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange, it is a concept that the Zionists developed along with the modern banking system. This is again one of their fundamental instruments in today‘s times to control the economic system of any commun ity. The concepts of stocks and shares are basically very simple. For examp le, an oil and gas development corporation or any major public or private company comes into the market and floats its shar es to generate funds. A sizeable group is given shares which may cost Rs.100 each. So me people may buy 10 shares; some may buy 100 and some 2000. The concept of shares is that one becomes a partner in that company by buying that share. When the company calculates its profits annual profits, they are distributed equally amongst the 70
shareholders and they get their prescribed dividend .When people possess spare money, pension, funds, retirement funds, excess wealth, liquid cash etc. instead of keeping them redundant, people invest them in such big companies by buying shares and becoming partners in the company. If that company does not deal in haraam business and is not itself involved in haraam, it is a good method to secure investments and earn a halaal income. For example food products, railways, oil and gas etc. Problems begin when a stock market is established. The stock market is where the buying and selling of shares of companies that have offered them to people in the market, takes place through brokers. The duty of the broker is to advise buyers and sellers about these shares that have to be bought and sold. The brokers make money through the commission on the buying and selling, and do not earn on the dividend of the company.
70
Dividend: the income or the profit that the company distributes to its shareholders, for e.g. if we buy 100 shares, it is the profit
that we would make on those shares at the end of the year.
181
Economic Terroris m
When A sells his shares and B buys the shares through a broker, the broker takes a commission fro m both A and B. Therefore he is living off other people‘s buying and selling. Another problem emerg ing here is that when people get involved in these share markets, they deal with these shares only for the purpose of making money on a day to day buying and selling of shares, and not on the profit dividend of the company at the end of the year. A person owning 100 shares would continuously sell and buy the shares, several times in just one day. There are three pro fit do mains here: The profits of the company (div idend) that it distributes every year to its shareholders . The profit earned by people in the day to day trading i.e. buying in the morning and selling in the evening. The profit or the co mmission earned by the brokers on this daily trade of buying and selling. The first method of taking div idends at the end of year is fine and poses no problems. However the other two methods are nothing but gambling through speculation. The brokers and big players who may have large shares in a company make a lot of profit in this manner. For examp le, ru mor spreads in the market that a certain company‘s share value is going to drop. People start selling their shares due to fear that the company might collapse, or because of change of government, the policy might change etc. Thus the share value of that company goes down. When this happens, the brokers or the major dealers buy those shares at a very low rate. By the time people come to know that it was just a false fear, they would have lost their investments which they were fo rced to sell. They might not be able to buy back the shares as they would be selling at a very high price. In this way, the big investors make a killing by spreading rumo rs and by speculation and gambling. This is similar to placing bets on horses to speculate which one would win and which one would lose. You win some and you lose some. When this is gambling and is haraam, then day trading too falls into the same category. When stock market trading scenes are shown on television, they represent a totally confused scenario. All the stock market jargon that we hear then, like the stock market being ‗bullish‘, ‗bearish‘, ‗fall of the index by 10,000 points ‘ etc are false indicators of the health of an economy. 99% of the players in the stock market are gamb lers or day traders who earn through speculations. The stock market is artificially inflated in this manner and a false scenario of
182
Economic Terroris m
a speed in trading is created in the s tock market. Stock brokers can cause the shares of a company to crash so that they can buy them at lower prices, and make huge profits through rumors. For example, in the 1800s when the Napoleonic wars were being fought (as discussed earlier), Rothschild started selling the shares of the British government. People thought the Duke of Wellington had lost and dumped the shares of the Brit ish government in the market and the Rothschilds‘ agents bought them at much lo wer prices on the other side. By the time the actual news reached the people the values of the same shares had shot up immensely. This was done simply by manipulat ing the stock market. These issues still exist everywhere, and the small investors lose the most. This whole system is haraam; it is gambling. All the companies would be working properly if it had not prevailed. The investments of the common people are manipulated and snatched away from them through this process. Rumors are spread around in stable economies to cause the market to crash, and an impression is created in uns table economies that the value of the market is high, which drives the people to invest there and in the end gamblers make money fro m it. Another immo ral aspect of the stock exchange in today‘s modern corporate environ ment is the generally accepted practice of a “ Hostile takeover”. For examp le if an individual deliberately enters another‘s house and tells him to leave saying that the house is not his anymore, in general terms it would be called a ‗takeover‘. A company‘s owner would have worked hard to estab lish a company. He floats around 55% of its shares in the market and keeps 45% of the shares for himself. People would have bought them in different quantities like 2%, 5%, 10% etc and would be earning dividends on them. Now, one majo r shareholder wanting to take over the operation would manipulate the stock market in the same way, by spreading rumors and lies through the brokers. The owner would not know who was buying these shares by manipulating the market. In this manner the opponent becomes successful in buying all the 55% shares in the market and gains control of the majority of the shares. So the competitor takes over the company overnight. This is ‗hostile takeover‘ which is a generally accepted practice in today‘s economy. These nefarious fluctuations of the stock market are also a part of the same banking system and are as haraam as the riba-based banking system. Whoever wants to invest should not invest in the market but invest in shares.
183

Another example is, in 1860-70, the French came to the ruler of Egypt who was a governor of the Us maniyah Emp ire, and told him that a canal had to be made through the red sea connecting the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. The making of the Suez Canal was very important then because the colonialists had to navigate all around the whole of Africa to reach India and China. This canal would therefore make the journey much easier for them. French investors offered a partnership to the ruler of Egypt in the project on a 50-50 basis i.e. he invests 50% and they will invest 50% and earn equally. As the ruler did not have the money then, the French bankers offered him a loan and the Suez Canal was made with the partnership of the ruler of Egypt. It became the world‘s biggest and most expensive trading route. The complete trade of the Brit ish Empire was taking place through that canal. All the income was coming to the Egypt and French based company that had been created on partnership. The Egyptian ru ler, however, had taken the loan at a very high interest rate and its payment was becoming impossible. Egypt was almost bankrupt; all its wealth had been plundered and looted. When the governor had no option, the Brit ish advised him to float his shares in different companies in the market, so that he could earn money through them and return the loan. As soon as the ruler of Egypt brought the shares into the market, the British government made its move and bought all the shares from the king of Egypt without his knowledge. A hostile takeover happened here and the whole Suez Canal came under the ownership of the French and the British. The people of Egypt did not have any part in it. For almost 100 years i.e. t ill 1953, Egypt did not have any right or share in the trading going through the Suez Canal in Egypt. Jamal Abdul Nasar in 1953 nationalized the Suez Canal forcibly because he had the support of Russia behind him. Britain and France attacked him to free the Suez Canal. British and France lost and the case went to court. The court gave the verdict to hand over the Suez Canal to Egypt. For 100 years, income worth billions that
184
Economic Terroris m
Egypt would have earned went to France and Britain due to the manipu lation of shares in 1953. An Islamic economic model will boast of such stock markets.
185
Economic Terroris m
The Solution People can certain ly buy shares fro m co mpanies and can earn annual dividends. However when stock markets are established, companies should open their counters there. People should have physical shares and not digital shares , as everything currently happens on the computer. It should be a free market. When physical transactions take place, there will be control of such speculations. People can buy and sell their shares directly at their counte r without the involvement of b rokers. Therefore the system of stockbrokers and day-trading should be eliminated. As the existing stock market system is illegal and haraam, the government can take strict measures. Co mpanies should open counters in the stock market. They can then be regulated and their mindset brought out of blind ly pursuing western thinking. This can be carried out in the same manner that we suggested for the eradication of Private Banks fro m countries. Rasoolullah (hubp ) said that a time will co me when Muslims will follow the People of the Book so blindly that if they enter holes full of snakes, Muslims will fo llo w them in. It is important to break this slavish mindset, where we adopt whatever the west exports. Their foundation is on gambling and interest and ours is on trade. The buying and selling of shares can be done even through halaal means. We do not need to involve stockbrokers and day-trading. The government has to make regulations for this. When an Islamic model is made and people want to buy shares of a company, they should be mindful about taking co mmissions and making profits through speculation and day trading. They should settle for taking genuine dividends at the end of the year.

Conclusion Zakah should be given in real wealth according to everyone‘s capacity, so that real wealth is distributed among the poor and they benefit from that. We quote again the examp le in the Quran concerning the Jews. When Allah commanded them to sacrifice a co w, they hassled themselves by making various queries about its age, color, weight, etc. (2: 67-73). If they had just listened to the first co mmand and sacrificed a cow, it would have been easy for them. Now, we are trying to change the outlook of the community, saying that Zakah should not be given in paper wealth but in real wealth. We do not need to ask too many questions here. If one cannot give Zakah in gold, then it can be given in silver and if not that, then in real wealth. The needs of the poor, such as rent, food etc. can also be paid for as Zakah. We just have to create an attitude in the community that Zakah has to be in real wealth, and then build on it. The given solutions cannot be completely imp lemented without the support of the government. Govern ments also should realize this so that they can protect themselves from the cris es of the future. Everything cannot happen overnight. Even Rasoolullah ( hubp ) took many years to complete the da‘awah of our Deen. Our focus is not on haste, but on firm determination. We have to challenge this economic model as we have no other choice and our survival depends on it. We have to save ourselves, our community and our n ations and for that we have to spread this message. People should know. It is the responsibility of those who hear this message to spread it forward, through colleges and universities and by translating the content in various languages etc. Everyone has to do their own bit and be responsible, as this cannot be accomplished alone. Our reward is only with Allah. We do not need to make more groups now because they are already present and have created divisions between Muslims. We should try and join any Muslim who is doing a good job and working in an organized fashion. Take the examp le of Malaysia; they have private mints of gold and silver co ins , which are used in the community for everything and are guaranteed. The same should be done in our commun ities and guaranteed gold and silver coins that can be used for paying the Zakah should be advertised among people. Arrangements should be made in every area, market, village, factory, Mosque etc. to feed the poor. The efforts will be discouraged and boycotted; but we should not be disappointed. The movement will gain mo mentum. We just need patience and conviction. However, first we have to feed the poorest section of the society at whatever level possible. This has a great status in deen, so distribute the wealth Allah has blessed you with among the poor.
187

We have to save ourselves from the Zionist banking system. Savings should be converted to real wealth as much as possible, instead of keeping them in banks as paper money and taking interest. Whatever is possible at our level should be done and the rest left to Allah. Contact with banks should be kept at a bare minimu m. We can buy legal shares but should not get involved in day-trading. People should get involved in trading through Sharakat of profit and loss, as this is from Allah. Resources should be used properly and not wasted. We need to have faith in Allah, as we will be tested by Him. A llah says:
(()) ٍََِْٗ ٌَزَ قِ اىئََ ٌَجْػَوْ ىَُٔ ٍَخْسَجًب ‗And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out.‘ (Talaq: 2) Problems will be there, otherwise there will not be any justice in rewards fro m Allah. But the solution to that is perseverance and consistency. Take care of the orphans, widows and helpless in the co mmunity. Create a Bait u l Maal which can be established and run by a few friends. The message has to be spread. Spread the knowledge and make the society aware of this concept. Allah is with us and Insha Allah His people will also be with us. We will be able to establish the Islamic economic model and promote it. And it will be a revolution based on ‗knowledge‘.
