Economic Sustainability of Compelled Classes: In the Light of Sēraẗ Ṭayēbah (SAW)

Abstract

This article aims to describe the financial support for the sick, disabled and constrained people in the light of Sēraẗ Ṭayēbah ﷺ in Islamic society. Actually human society has been consisting of the two types of different temperaments people, one of negative tendencies and other is constructive trends. People of destructive tendencies always exploit others for their own economic benefits and ravage the society. While the constructive minded people replaces this spoiler system by prosperous economic and ethical norms. The prophets are the only pardons who, on the basis of God gifted message set these noblest traditions in a society, and then their followers have continued this system. This type of society encourages the preaching and acceptance of Islam.

If we look at the economic and social conditions of our country, there is a long list of constrained people in the society. These forced people are of two types, one is those whose entire life is spent in a state of compulsion. Among them are beggars, the poor, the needy, the unemployed, the daily wage laborers, rickshaw pullers, peddlers, men and women working in someone's house, office workers, widows, Old people, children and those who are in need do not ask questions in front of anyone. The second type of compulsion includes people who are not really compelled but are entitled to help because of a bad situation, such as a person who was injured while traveling and deserves help to return. I got entangled and jailed, as well as a business person who went bankrupt due to a business deficit, or a person who has young daughters and due to low income sources to perform their marriage duties. Unable to do so, or a patient who was not compelled in terms of resources but the hefty fees and expensive medicines of hospitals and doctors forced him to live a life of compulsion in illness, similarly, a prisoner who was subjected to the irony of circulating night and day and was imprisoned for some reason inside or outside the country. Similar to other people who fell victim to compulsions.These classes are an integral part of human society, so a welfare Islamic society ensures the protection of all their financial and moral boundaries.In this regard, our religion Islam has a great superiority over the rules of all other religions. Whether it is the teachings of the Holy Prophet or the teachings of the Holy Qur'an, an important aspect of them is that they emphasize moral and financial support to the oppressed more than they emphasize worship.
