Re: Jizya tax - What was the logic?
If we read about various forms of ruling systems we will see how different ruling concepts came to being but so far all were anti God and anti humanity save the ones that were based on divine revelation but they lived for a very short while and only here and there save the last one that was brought about by the last messenger of God. That sent the message throughout the world and was brought to an end soon after the death of the prophet.
After that things were back to what they were before. Originally it was rule by the one who was powerful among the involved people eg in family unit father was leader and in the clan and tribe the chief had to assert his authority through physical combats ie whoever was found strongest took over the tribe and the rest followed. As more tribes came together the strongest tribe took over the leadership of the area and the rest just accepted it followed it. This is how concept of absolute monarchy worked and on the same idea came about huge empires. Once one person’s physical strength was not sufficient alliances were created and chiefs of tribes became nobles around the table of the king. When things became more difficult religious leaders were created to help kings unite people behind them. There came time when rule became divided between monarchs and clergies. Kings then ruled people in the name of country and mullahs in the name of God. The power struggle between kings and mullahs gave way to mullahs. Just as earlier kings used to choose mullahs so mullahs chose kings for people. Over a long period of time both these entities lost their absolute power over people when money traders became more powerful than both kings and mullahs. From then on it were money people who manipulated kings and mullahs as it suited them and so it continues even today. By now money people have absolute power over whatever is going on in the world. Anyone who lacks in having wealth is just a slave of the wealthy. Just as one strong person could make weak people his slave and just as person who was clever could manipulate the rest so whoever has money can manipulate the rest.
Islam is therefore anti personality cults. It is because kings and mullahs and the wealthy people always made rules and laws to suit them at the expense of all others and that is how they kept everyone else under their thumb. This situation is going to remain for as long as people do not educate themselves and rise up to get out this situation. This uprising is called YAWMAL QIYAAMAH in the quran. It is because the quran is revelation for education based revolution to free humanity from slavery of each other and to put them on the road to brotherhood, peae and prosperity.
The message of the quran has been diverted by rulers, priests and money traders because the quran opposes them big time. Something that muslims have not yet woken up to. The quran is revelation of Allah that sets a goal for humanity to accomplish ie peace=islam. The quran is manifesto of islam that is why its message needs proper understanding and spreading so that people become united on the goal and terms and conditions set in the quran. This unity demands that there ought to a constitution to unite under and that constitution is quran. The quran provides humanity with all it needs to unite, be in peace and progress and prosper.
The concept is very simple, no person can be ruler in islam other than God himself. God being the ruler is the only one who has the right to give his constitution to the people to live by. The constitution is supreme ie all people and institutions must abide by constitution. No body is slave of anyone rather all are to serve the will of Allah for the good of humanity. In simple this universe is house of Allah and anyone living under this roof must abide by house rules. Anyone who does not abide by house rule can leave or face set penalties.
The quran gives right to people to choose people from among themselves for the administration of the constitution. This is the real difference between all other kinds of ruling systems and islamic khilaafah. It is not based upon concept of who rule by the strongest in human society like kings, it is not based on who is cleverest in society and able to manipulate humanity psychologically like mullahs and it is not based upon the concept of who is wealthiest in the society.
Leaving all these aside it is based upon true rule of law concept ie all are equal under the constitution. Each and every person and institution has set rights and responsibilities so people can see who is going about in his daily life within his set rights and who is breaking that set limit or who is fulfilling his responsibilities and who is not and if any does not then what the penalty is.
Not only that but the quran challenges the whole of mankind to test it by finding any better goal than set by the quran or any better terms and condition set out in the quran for accomplishing the set goal=islam.
The quran challenges mankind that no matter whatever rule you live by, you will never attain peace and prosperity.
It also challenges humanity to try islam and see for yourselves how it gives you peace and prosperity because it sets out a road map for mankind or a program for this purpose. So all people need to do is understand the quran and implement its program and see what happens.
This is why all interpretations of the quran are wrong because they were written for a specific purpose in mind ie to give kings and mullahs and wealthy people justifications in the name of Allah and rasool. These people attributed so many lies to Allah and rasool in the name of islam. This is why muslims need to get out of the box kings, mullahs and wealthy people put them in for their own dirty ends. Today ummah is suffering seriously as a result of all these wrongs that our these leaders did to us in the name of islam and we topo deserve it because we did not bother educating ourselves to see where these people were actually taking us. So if we still want to continue our lives as we are then no need to worry we will keep getting the results that we work towards.
Allah only helps those who help themselves in what they want.
If you want better life then you must work for it and if you want the life to be as it is then continue as you are doing. You only reap what you sow. You sit and do ZIKR as mullahs told you then you will get the result of that zikr and if you make sense of what zikr is in real sense then you will get results as told for that definition of zikr. Allah only changes nations for the better if they work for it but if they don’t then they do not end up better by doing nothing.
The quran is to the point book. Those who live by it get what it promises and those who stay away from the quran remain confused and suffer anxiety and regrets as well as harm and destruction from which the quran wants to save people.
So people who do not study the quran, they do not know what they are missing. It is sad if they claim to be muslims but know nothing about the quran just because some molvi told them I will get someone to get you forgiveness from Allah. Loads of khatme quran but no sense what they reading and to what end.
