[13 July 2012] Is Islamic banking applicable in today economy - English After the baking crisis of 2008 and the collapse of financial markets, doubts have emerged on the capability of the modern financial model to sustain a healthy economy. With the failure of both capitalism and communism, some experts, especially in Muslim countries are looking at Islam to find an alternative model. Islam's strong prohibition of usury (Riba) in particular is seen as a new foundation for a healthy banking system and consequently a sustainable and fairer economy. Other Islamic institutions like zakat and waqf (endowments) have potential economical functions. In recent years Islamic Banking for example, has been tried with some success in some of Muslim countries and even in Britain. British Financial Services Authority estimates the assets controlled by Islamic banks at the global level to be $200-500bn which is growing at a pace of 10-15% per year. With prospect of about 12 million Muslims living in EU, Islamic financial and economical model is a feasible solution for the future. This week's Islam and Life asks: Are the principles of Islamic banking applicable in today's economy?

How is the presentation of the holy Qur\'an different from that of other human books? And what are the different approaches used in the Qur\'an to impart knowledge and advice? Furthermore, are verses in the noble Qur\'an, which are related to an event, specific to that event only; or are they applicable to the present-day? And how are the verses related to the battle of Uhud relevant and applicable to the current time? And finally, what lesson can we learn from the event of the battle of Uhud? The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, speaks, answers, and explains how the verses of the Qur\'an are relevant in all times and in all situations.

In this episode of our journey through \\\"The Signs of Allah\\\", Shaykh Muhammad Husayn speaks about Chapter No. 49 of the holy Qur\\\'an, Surah Hujurat, and the 9th verse within it. Yet, what does verse number 9 of Chapter Hujurat say? And what are some of the duties that fellow believing brothers and sisters have with one another? In times of a conflict between the believers, what must the believers do? Is the term \\\'conflict\\\' that comes in this verse, applicable to all types of conflict or is applicable to only one type of conflict? What does the conflict between the Aus and the Khazraj have to do with this specific verse of Surah Hujarat? Finally, based upon this verse, can there be a neutral party in the confrontation between Truth and falsehood? It only takes a few minutes to witness \\\"The Signs of Allah\\\", but it could very well change your lives for the better, for-ever. #Allah #TheSignsofAllah #IslamicPulse #Quran #Tafsir #Islam #TheWord #Hujurat #AhlulBayt

Our condolences to all the believers, all across the world, wherever they are, upon the holy months of Muharram and Safar. This year, countless millions across the world once again proudly commemorated the mission of Imam Husayn ibn Ali (A) and most eagerly mourned over the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (A), and his family members and companions who accompanied his eminence into the divine hands of martyrdom as they stood up for Truth and Justice against the overwhelming forces of evil and falsehood. And once again, millions of people gathered around the pivot of Imam Husayn (A) on the Day of Arbaeen, commemorating the 40th day after his martyrdom. We spoke previously about the \\\\\\\"Project of Towheed\\\\\\\" in our IP Talk Show titled \\\\\\\"What Is Allah\\\\\\\'s Universal Project of Towheed?\\\\\\\" Yet, why would Allah want to establish His divine rule upon the material realm in the first place? And what is the only way for human beings to reach existential excellence? What is submission out of free will? And what happens to a human being when they submit to Allah out of their free will? And what model has Allah put forth for humanity when Allah wanted to show the pinnacle and perfection of a human being achieved via Towheed? Have the modern-day systems of the world provided any tranquility to the world in general or even their own nations? What country is the poster-boy for modern materialism, while boasting of one of the highest levels of mental depression? And what happens to a person when they don\\\\\\\'t have holistic knowledge about a certain matter; and what are its repercussions when it comes to the \\\\\\\'creation\\\\\\\' of sciences? What is known as the \\\\\\\'Search for Objectivity\\\\\\\'? And what happens when theories put forth aren\\\\\\\'t done so in an objective manner; and worse, they are done without Taqwa, i.e. God-consciousness? What are some interesting points vis-à-vis the Church and the State, the role of women in Western civilization, and the feminism movement? When it comes to the proverb, \\\\\\\'power corrupts and absolute power, corrupts absolutely\\\\\\\' is it applicable to any and all situations; and how does it apply to the theory of Wilayat al-Faqih? And how is the saying, \\\\\\\'everything that happens, happens in the kitchen\\\\\\\' and the \\\\\\\'Revolving Door Policy\\\\\\\' applicable to the governmental establishment of the United States of America? And what does Noam Chomsky say about the façade of a liberal media? Is social media the democratization of information, especially when keeping in mind the amount of censorship that takes place? What is an interesting point as regards to hollow and superficial slogans of the Taghut powers, such as freedom, leisure, and even peace? And furthermore, what is the definition of peace in the dictionary of the Taghut powers of the world? And what is one of the fundamental themes of the global Taghut powers? What happens to an individual when they begin to speak out against the system of the global Taghut powers? And what does it mean that the leader of a country ends up, in one way or the other, becoming that nation\\\\\\\'s \\\\\\\'Chief Educator\\\\\\\'? And finally, how are all of these different questions, in one way or the other, related to Shaytan\\\\\\\'s project of fierce and deadly opposition to the \\\\\\\'Project of Towheed\\\\\\\'? In order to answer these questions and more, we humbly invited Sayyid Agha Ali Raza from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to help explain and answer for us, \\\\\\\"What Is Shaytan\\\\\\\'s Evil Project Against Towheed?\\\\\\\" Salutations be upon Husayn!

Our condolences to all the believers, all across the world, wherever they are, upon the holy months of Muharram and Safar. This year, countless millions across the world once again proudly commemorated the mission of Imam Husayn ibn Ali (A) and most eagerly mourned over the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (A), and his family members and companions who accompanied his eminence into the divine hands of martyrdom as they stood up for Truth and Justice against the overwhelming forces of evil and falsehood. Yet, what are some qualities that should be in a leader, and more so in the leader of the Muslim Ummah and a leader of the Muslims? And in this context, what did Yazid ibn Mua\\\\\\\'wiya represent who wanted to be the leader of the Muslim Ummah? And when Imam Husayn (A) rejected the notion that one like Yazeed should be allowed to become the leader of the Muslim Ummah, what did Yazeed end up doing? Even in the present-day, what happens when a certain people in so-called democracies don\\\\\\\'t vote with the majority; a tactic of ostracization that was a part of the Umayyad Dynasty\\\\\\\'s policies? And in contrast to this tyrannical policy, what was the policy of the Ahl al-Bayt (A)? Case in point, did Imam Ali (A) oppress, ostracize, or kill those people who stubbornly and foolishly resisted in paying allegiance to him? How did Imam Ali (A) react when a person from the Khawarij called him a Kafir? Another case in point, did Imam Husayn (A) take revenge upon the people of Kufa after he found out that they had betrayed him? When Imam Husayn (A) and his caravan had water, and the enemy\\\\\\\'s ranks didn\\\\\\\'t have water, how did Imam Husayn (A) behave? And likewise, how is this event similar to the event that unfolded in the battle of Siffin during Imam Ali\\\\\\\'s time? And what segment of the population is most affected by sanctions, such as the illegal and inhumane sanctions of America against the Islamic Republic of Iran? As a Shia and follower of Imam Husayn (A) to what borders must we spread the message and mission of Imam Husayn (A? What did the tragedy of Karbala become a means for throughout the many centuries that have passed since the event of Karbala? What was the condition of mass propaganda used by the Umayyad Dynasty in order to misguide the people and how is it applicable to the present-day? Finally, what is the responsibility of every single one of us, including Islamic Pulse, when it comes to the propagation of the message and mission of Imam Husayn (A) in the present-day and how is media and Jihad al-Tabyiin related to this? In order to answer these questions and more, we humbly invited Shaykh Mustafa Samari from the Federal Republic of Nigeria to speak to us about and ask us \\\\\\\"Will You Vote For A Yazeed?\\\\\\\" Salutations be upon Husayn! Salutations be upon Ali ibne Husayn! Salutations be upon the children of Husayn!
