Islam is not only a religious and political organization, but also a commerce or business entity. Islam exacts taxes both from believers and nonbelievers. Islam also commands its believers to kidnap people for ransom. Allah demanded consultation fees from Muslims who want to talk to his prophet. Muhammad demanded jewelries from his female believers. Allah and Muhammad commands their believers to attack non-Muslims and rob their wealth, and They demanded 20 percent of the spoils of war. If you can loan to Allah He will forgive your sins and He will be ever thankful to you. This how important wealth is for Allah, that He’s willing to owe you a debt of gratitude forever if you can just lend money to Him.
1.) IF YOU BELONG TO THE COMMERCE OF ISLAM, YOU WILL BE SAVED FROM HELL
[Quran 61:10] O You who believe! Shall I guide you to a commerce that will save you from a painful torment
[Quran 35:29] Surely (the ones) who recite the Book of Allah, and keep up the prayer, and expend of what We have provided them, secretly and in public, hope for a commerce that will never be futile.
2.) ALLAH WILL REMOVE YOUR SINS, DOUBLE YOUR MONEY, AND GIVE VIRGINS REWARD IF YOU LOAN TO HIM. PLUS, HE WILL BE THANKFUL TO YOU FOREVER
[Quran 2:245] Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you will be returned.
[Quran 5:12] Allah made a covenant with the Children of Israel and appointed twelve leaders from among them and ˹then˺ said, “I am truly with you. If you establish prayer, pay alms-tax, believe in My messengers, support them, and lend to Allah a good loan, I will certainly forgive your sins and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow. And whoever among you disbelieves afterwards has truly strayed from the Right Way.”
[Quran 57:11] Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He will multiply it for him and he will have a noble reward?
[Quran 57:18] Verily, those who give Sadaqat (i.e. Zakat and alms, etc.), men and women, and lend to Allah a goodly loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and theirs shall be an honourable good reward (i.e. Paradise).
[Quran 64:17] In case you lend to Allah a fair loan, He will double it for you, and will forgive you; and Allah is Ever-Thankful, Ever-Forbearing,
3. ALLAH DEMANDED CONSULTATION FEES AND ALMS-TAX FROM MUSLIMS FOR HIS PROPHET. GIVING TAX TO THE COMMERCE OF ISLAM CAN PURIFY MUSLIMS.
[Quran 58:12] O believers! When you consult the Messenger privately, give something in charity before your consultation. That is better and purer for you. But if you lack the means, then Allah is truly All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[Quran 58:13] Are you afraid of spending in charity before your private consultations with him? Since you are unable to do so, and Allah has turned to you in mercy, then continue to establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and obey Allah and His Messenger. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
[Quran 2:43] Perform prayers, and pay the purifying alms, and kneel together with those who are kneeling.
[Quran 5:12] God took a pledge from the Children of Israel. We appointed twelve of them as leaders. And God said, “I am with you. If you are regular in prayer, give the purifying alms, and believe in My Messengers and support them, and lend God a good loan, I will cleanse you of your bad deeds and admit you into Gardens with flowing rivers. After this, any of you who deny the truth will be far from the right path.”
4.) ALLAH IMPOSE SUBMISSION TAXES (JIZYA) ON THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (JEWS AND CHRISTIANS), PLUS THEIR WILLING SUBMISSION TO THE COMMERCE OF ISLAM
[Quran 9:29] Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
5.) ALLAH DEMANDED THE MUSLIMS TO SPEND THEIR WEALTH FOR HIS CAUSE
[Quran 2:195] And spend in the Cause of Allah and do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allah), and do good. Truly, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).
[Quran 2:262] Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of Allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury, their reward is with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
6. THE SPOILS OF WAR BELONG TO MUHAMMAD AND ALLAH
[Quran 8:1] They ask thee (O Muhammad) of the spoils of war. Say: The spoils of war belong to Allah and the messenger, so keep your duty to Allah, and adjust the matter of your difference, and obey Allah and His messenger, if ye are (true) believers.
7. MUHAMMAD AND ALLAH DEMANDED ONE-FIFTH OF THE BOOTY PLUNDERED BY MUSLIMS
[Sahih Muslim 1756] It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said: If you come to a township (which has surrendered without a formal war) and stay therein, you have a share (that will be in the form of an award) in (the properties obtained from) it. If a township disobeys Allah and His Messenger (and actually fights against the Muslims) one-fifth of the booty seized therefrom is for Allah and His Apostle and the rest is for you.
[Sahih al-Bukhari 7556] Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The delegates of `Abdul Qais came to Allah’s Messenger and said, “The pagans of the tribe of Mudar intervene between you and us therefore we cannot come to you except in the Holy months. So please order us to do something good (Religious deeds) by which we may enter Paradise (by acting on them) and we may inform our people whom we have left behind to observe it.” The Prophet said, “I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things: I order you to believe in Allah. Do you know what is meant by belief in Allah? It is to testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, to offer prayers perfectly, to give Zakat, and to give Al-Khumus (one-fifth of the war booty) (in Allah’s Cause). And I forbid you four things, (i.e., Do not drink alcoholic drinks) Ad-Dubba, An- Naqir, (pitched water skins), Az-Zuruf, Al-Muzaffat and Al–Hantam (names of utensils used for the preparation of alcoholic drinks).” (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1)
[Quran 8:41] And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah,- and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer,- if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.
8. MUHAMMAD ORDERED THE PEOPLE TO GIVE ALMS TO THE COMMERCE OF ISLAM
[Sahih al-Bukhari 1462] Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: On `Id ul Fitr or `Id ul Adha Allah’s Messenger (p.b.u.h) went out to the Musalla. After finishing the prayer, he delivered the sermon and ordered the people to give alms. He said, “O people! Give alms.” . . .
[Sahih al-Bukhari 5883] Narrated Ibn `Abbas: “The Prophet offered a two-rak`at prayer on `Id day and he did not offer any (Nawafil prayer) before or after it. He then went towards the women, and Bilal was accompanying him, and ordered them to give alms. And so the women started giving their earrings (etc .).
9. MUHAMMAD BOASTED THAT TREASURES WILL COME TO HIS HAND EVEN IF HE IS SLEEPING
[Sahih al-Bukhari 7013] Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah’s Messenger saying, “I have been sent with Jawami al-Kalim (i.e., the shortest expression carrying the widest meanings), and I was made victorious with awe (cast into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the earth were brought to me and were put in my hand.” Muhammad said, Jawami’-al-Kalim means that Allah expresses in one or two statements or thereabouts the numerous matters that used to be written in the books revealed before (the coming of) the Prophet.
[Sahih Muslim 523e] Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah said: I have been helped by terror (in the heart of the enemy) ; I have been given words which are concise but comprehensive in meaning; and while I was asleep I was brought the keys of the treasures of the earth which were placed in my hand.
