Muslim must obey Allah and His Rasul s.a.w.

Aisha Bewley's Home Page 1 Home Page 2

Allah has charged us with the task of establishing Islam. This does not just mean prayer and fasting. It means governance, establishing justice by upholding the limits of Allah, by calling to the good and forbidding the evil. Governance must be in accordance to the Book and the Sunnah, as embodied by the First Community.

TransMadina Network

When the Messenger of Allah salallahu alayhi wa sallam entered Madinah, he built the mosque and then established the market of the Muslims. This is the manifestation of the oft repeated phrase in the Quran, salat wa zakat.

This model of Madinah is the central model of development in Islam - leading to the establishment of the urban unit called Imaret. It is also the basis of commercial justice in Islamic Trading.

Madinah (supported by waqf system) then becomes the nucleus of development of autonomous Islamic communities. TransMadina Network is the linking of such communities.

Without a market place, trading has disappeared, replaced by monopolistic systems of distribution. Monopolistic distribution is not trading. The trader has been progressively displaced by exclusive distributors and selling agents.

Usury is the enemy of freedom and free market. The genesis of unemployment, business gigantism, monopolies and global standardisation are phenomena directly caused by usury

Our Islamic madinah will be founded on the absolute freedom of the market place as established by the Sharia of Islam. The market place will be:

indoors (covered at least partially), have parking space, easy access to merchandise and clients, security, court of justice to solve commercial disputes immediately, restaurants and other norms as in a modern supermarket except that it will be open to all merchants.

The Islamic Market guarantees that all people have the identical possiblity to buy and sell. Trading is not restricted to a particular group. If everybody can trade, then people can work for themselves. In Islam, to trade in equality of circumstances is a right of all the Muslims
