Early Islam and the Birth of Capitalism

moderator — Thu, 01 May 2014 13:05:03 +0000

Arabs first made a name for themselves in business; their reputation for religious zeal came later. Arabs earned a reputation as long distance traders and risk investors long before the advent of Islam, and arguably the spread of Islam also was a breakthrough for capitalism and globalization. This is hardly surprising, considering Islam is the only world religion whose founder had a background in business and came from a long line of merchants.

Possible effects of WikiLeaks on Middle East

Especially if Turkey & Syria behave pragmatic in the name of their interests and they cooperate with Israel & America, not only Iran but also all Muslim countries will be exposed to American oppressions.

In the previous analysis, we tried to focus on suspicions and questions about the releasing Wikileaks cables. And then, we looked at the Turkey’s position in these leaks up to some extend. Although we examine how US diplomats or the other diplomats evaluate Turkey, Turkey’s AKP, and its leaders, we couldn’t look at the viewpoints of Turkish leaders about their neighboring countries or any other political issue.

Four Trillion Dollars

4 trillion a day and there are 365 days a year giving a total of 1,460 trillion or 1,460,000,000,000,000 in a year. So much money. But can we estimate how many of the earth's 6.5 billion people benefit?

By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad

1. How much is 4 trillion dollars? Star Business picking a report from foreign source says it is the value of Germany's total output for one year.

2. I try to imagine the figure 4 trillion and wrote it down. It is 4,000,000,000,000. It is a lot, a great lot of money. But it is just the amount of dollars traded by the currency traders in just one day.

3. Yes, the currency traders are still at it, worldwide financial crisis notwithstanding.

Salma Al-Farouki: Rediscovering Islam

moderator — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 10:25:32 +0000

Al-Farouki says she woke up one day and decided to wholly dedicate her life to God, ultimately leading to a total lifestyle change and a move to Geneva in the early 1970s, after separating from her husband.

Salma Al-Farouki simply oozes class when she walks into the Arab News offices for our interview. Wearing a simple turban and purple dress combination, finished off with pearl earrings and eye kohl, she emanates warmth, intelligence and wisdom.

Al-Farouki is also the wife of Roger Garaudy, the French philosopher well loved in the Islamic world and very much the pariah in the West thanks to certain controversies with his 1996 book, “The Founding Myths of Israel,” which was accused of containing elements of Holocaust denial.

He also challenged the United Nations to set up a commission to study the attacks.

Prominent ustaz, murshid of Shazily and Naqshbandi tariqahs, honourable Shaykh Said-Afandi was born in 1937 in the Dagestani village of Chirkey in the family of 'Abd al-Rahman. It was a time when dark clouds gathered over Islam and Muslims, for the enemies of Islam killed thousands of Islamic scholars (may Allah be pleased with them) including such well-known scholars like Shaykh Hasan Afandi and Shaykh Muhammad Afandi Ya'subi. In this difficult period by the grace of Allah, a boy was born in the village of Chirkey.
