Muslim Woman

Contrary to the beliefs of both religious and secular Muslims, the Prophet's achievements were based not on ephemeral but on the permanent values of the Quran. He brought about the greatest revolution - even an economic and political miracle in human history (see Michael Hart, THE 100, pages 3-10). In a very short time after the prophet migrated to Medina and implemented the system of salaat & zakat, the economic condition of the people changed. (For a detailed discussion about the system of salaah, see a two part article in MONITOR, pages 6-10, September/October 1998, and pages 7-12, December1998/January 1999)  

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is reported to have said; If a single person were to sleep hungry in a town, then God's protection is lifted from such a town. [ Masnad Imam Ahmad ] This hadith emphasizes that no one (Muslim or non Muslim) under this system should go hungry. Thus this zakat system created the first universal welfare system in human history. It also gradually transformed the existing slave-based economy to a universal welfare based economy. By the end of the Prophet's Muhammad period, the entire Arabian Peninsula enjoyed economic as well as political security. This system reached its pinnacle during Caliph Omar's time (again, see Michael Hart, THE 100, pages 261-265), a time when, history tells us, hardly anyone was in need of charity. What has occurred then in the intervening years that the Muslim masses are suffering economic deprivation even though they live in areas with plenty of natural resources?

Honestly speaking, the answer we all know that!
