When I say “abolishing of jizyah” I mean abolishing of all forms of tax in the whole world … and the reason why we tax is to provide a distribution of wealth that is otherwise not achieved. If however, people were good enough to give in sadaqah and zakat then taxation would become redundant … there would be “no need” for jizyah … at the moment there is a need for it because the world has not learnt to distribute wealth fairly. I believe as a result of what will happen people will again learn to not be so selfish and as a result will freely give their time and effort to help society and give in charity regularly - and even if it is just the Muslims doing this then there would be created a condition where no one is poor. Now the jizyah is needed … then it will not … So really I’m not waiting for the end of the jizyah as much as I am waiting for that world where no body will come forward asking for more … because they will be satisfied.
As for being the fairest … by numbers is it fair and it is good for the economy … Taxing income creates recession … but taxing savings creates moving markets … people are deprived of their own wealth, but are rewarded if they hoard it … in shar’ah based economies people are rewarded with not having to pay anything if their expenses have left them with no savings … in the fear to avoid their savings to be taxed people will spend more and spending more creates moving markets … as I said for Muslims they do this out of their zakat and for non-Muslims they do it out of legal reasons - but essentially it is the same thing … In fact from what I hear you own jammat is very good at distribution of wealth and requires a certain percentage of your savings to be given to the central fund - which is higher than jizyah … but you all make these payments happily …
