Why is the Muslim Ummah so powerless although we make up a fifth of the world's population?
We're not on the right track. We don't follow our agenda given by Allah ﷻ to us.
We are content to raise our voices instead of doing the right thing. Which gets us off track.
- Inward development: Gain more taqwa..
- Unify with other Muslims on the agenda
- Calling to good as a unified ummah and with the power to do so.
About the inward development:
Observe taqwa and come to Islam completely. Meaning applying the book of Allah in our personal lifes.
And a huge chunk of the Qur'an is about financial regulations (mahr, child support, zakat, giving loans back, staying away from riba etc.). So the first easy litmus test is to check our money matters.
We need to observe taqwa in our financial dealings.
When we don't abide by Allah's laws we will be humiliated, powerless and receive the rage from Allah.
So we need to start at step 1 at least. To get our financial dealings right. Bitcoin can play a fundamental role here. Not just saving wealth in Bitcoin but also using it as a currency (medium of exchange, MoE) in daily life. And keeping as little fiat money as possible.
We must try everything to not get involved in riba and the modern banking system. No riba loans, not using fiat currencies, not leaving money on our checking accounts and thus enabling and supporting this system.
The second step would be observing the hudud of Allah in family life.
So are we living taqwa in our financial matters and in our family matters?
Watch the full khutba as it provides a better and more complex solution than just the "raise your voice!" you hear from everywhere. ⬇️

"The institutional tenets of the Islamic economic framework
are evidently pro-wealth creation, which is in sheer contrast to the laws and values generally practiced in most of the Muslim-
majority countries today."
- Islam & Economics

2024-07-09 14:36:32

S. M. Yusuf believes that Islam considers nature as largely a freely available resource to all without any proprietary rights to any individual. In fact, when it comes to nature and its manifestations, there is almost a consensus among Muslim scholars on the matter of ownership. Islam considers nature and natural resources as divinely owned and freely available to humankind.
This is mentioned in several passages in the Qur’an, but the following verses capture it clearly:
"It was God who created the heavens and the earth. He has sent down water from the sky with which He brings forth fruits for your sustenance. He has subdued the ships which by His leave sail the ocean in your service. He has subdued the rivers for your benefit, and subdued for you the sun and the moon, which steadfastly pursue their courses. And He has subdued for you the night and the day." (14:32–34)
All jurists would likewise agree with Yusuf that natural resources are freely available to all humankind. They draw inspiration from a hadith that declares:
"Muslims have common share in three (things): grass, water and fire." - (Sunan Abi Dawud, Book of Wages, hadith no. 3477)
- S. M. Yusuf, Economic Justice in Islam

2024-07-08 15:21:29

Javed Ahmad Ghamidi's five fundamental elements in his model of Islamic economy directly derived from the Qur’an:
private property rights, national control over natural assets, control over usurpation, documentation and evidence, and distribution of inheritance.

2024-07-01 15:29:57

"The Islamic economic framework should not be understood as a prelude to a new academic discipline or to a new economics, for that matter. This framework can be understood as a combination of moral principles and practical rules for a just, inclusive, and dynamic economic organization of society. At best, it can be understood as a doctrine, though without any claims of sacredness."
Islam & Economics.

2024-07-01 15:29:18

The tenets of Islamic economy are price freedom, free trade, market regulations, sound currency, riba-free banking, low and flat taxes, reliance on voluntary contributions, and strict inheritance distribution.

"Lot of talk about hard money this, soundest money that. Perfect savings technology and NgU (number go up). Blah, blah, blah…

"The consensus is that affiliate marketing is permissible under specific criteria, such as the affiliate must be compensated from the profits of the sale, the product or service must be halal, and the company can not charge the customer extra to pay the affiliate. The affiliate-business-customer relationship must be honest and transparent."

"If the mushrikoon (at the time before Islam) had that ethics and morals and the awareness of what type of wealth had to be put into the Bayt-Ullah, how careful we as the ummah of the prophet ﷺ, now having the complete deen, should be about the type of wealth, that we put into the house of Allah and by extension into any project where we hope for barakah?"

You can now get a Nostr verification, using NIP-05, at @DoCleanBusiness
. For those who don't know what this is: it's like the blue check for 𝕏, except you don't need to pay nor disclose your phone or credit card number for it.
For the techies: This is simply done with the 'Nostr Verify' #WordPress plugin (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/nostr-verify/).
After installing, it adds 2 additional fields on the user profile page as shown in the screenshot.
https://m.primal.net/HLfh.png
You can choose any name and add the user's nostr public key (npub) in hex format. Use a tool like https://damus.io/key/ to convert npub to hex format.
After saving, it generates a JSON response file for nostr clients like this: https://islamic-marketplace.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=im
According to this example the nostr nip05 address, which you can enter into any nostr client, is: im@islamic-marketplace.com.

The IM newsletter #10 for coming Friday is ready, alhamdulillah. As I said, I'm trying a new format. This one has only 3 contents:
1. An awesome khutba about Surah Al Insan about our desire for recognition and attention (very relevant for our social media behaviour)
2. Time management for social media post publication (for Muslims)
3. A useful tool of the week for social media that can be payed for in Sats via Lightining.

2023-09-16 06:50:31

According to the newsletter statistics, many people actually open and read it, but hardly click on the links to various tools and articles.
That's why I'm going to change the style a bit starting with the next issue. More original, authentic content, fewer external links.

It's not only about making money for ourselves when we trade and work. The greater purpose behind it is to benefit the society and communities we live in. Income and charity were always closely connected in our deen and in our traditions. That's why Islamic Marketplace has other categories than sale items and services.
I would love to see charities and your local masjids listed there as well. So I added my little masjid there as an example and a start: https://islamic-marketplace.com/profile/alaksameschenich/
Imagine having this category full of masjids from all over the world! 💚 It could be useful for travelers who are in a foreign city seeking for a place to pray. So what are you waiting for, head over there and add yours too.
I also added @orphansofuganda in the charities category (https://islamic-marketplace.com/listing/donations-needed/). It's an orphanage I know since 2018 and who have proven more than a 100 times, that they are real and in no way a scam. One has to be very careful not to support scammers or people claiming neediness without any real evidence. Because they are lowering the chances for people who are really in need. In this respect, too, we must keep our standards and our quality high.
So guys, help me balance this marketplace out. It costs you nothing and the rewards may be very high.
