“Belief in the Unseen”
"ایمان بالغیب"
From the book
“Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge & Truth”
To believe in the unseen is a fundamental constituent of the Muslim faith as mentioned in the verse ... it is a guidance for the righteous, Who believe in the unseen...(2:3-4)
The lack of knowledge about things does not necessarily mean that they do not exist. They may exist, but lie hidden behind the veil of the unknown.

"Economic System of Islam"
Islam lays the foundation of all its systems, whether political, economic, social or any other, on one fundamental principle—that the ultimate sovereignty and ownership belongs only to God Almighty
It is stated in Surah az-Zukhruf that: 43:86
In brief, this verse lays down that the kingdom of the heavens and earth really belongs to God, and everything that exists therein is destined to return to Him.
It is a reminder that all worldly governments, kingdoms and powers are under God’s command and are granted to human beings only as a trust. Man must not consider himself unaccountable just because he has the power and ownership of material wealth that he is given in this world.
“All creatures are [like] a family of God: and He loves most those who are kindest to His family” – Holy Prophet sa

जिस ने इस्लाम को स्वीकारा अल्लाह ने उनका नाम मुस्लमान रखा और जिसने इस्लाम को नकारा उस को इस्लाम का काफिर यानि इन्कार करने वाला कहा गया। ऐसे व्यक्ति के लिए काफिर शब्द का प्रयोग गलत नहीं क्योंकि वह व्यक्ति स्वयं इस्लाम का इन्कारी है A/2
