After the stars fell
Write a story after the happily ever after I often wondered what love is. Is it truly the warm, fuzzy emotions that ooze out of true mirth of care and adore, or is it a product of prevalent capitalism that exists within our world? That makes it easy for the consumeristic and hyperagile construct to sell products to the humans as a marketing tactic, to slip in through the psyche of innocent minds, to create a buzz, to find their weaklings and exploit them for company profits and expansions.

Slavery in Islam vs. Modern Slavery: Does Freedom Really Exist?
Slavery is a cruel reality in the pages of history. Humans have been bought, sold, and used as mere objects by humans. Slavery was once legal and normal in almost all civilizations of the world—be it Greece and Rome, India, or China. Islam came into that context. But Islam did not support slavery; rather, it gradually showed the way to its extinction through a new moral and social revolution—through humanity, responsibility, and liberation.

Capitalism accepts human greed as natural and just, and establishes that greed as the driving force of economic growth. Here, wealth accumulation, interest, investment, corporate dominance, and global trade are the main principles.

Geopolitics and Islam: A Thousand-Word Analytical Discussion
Geopolitics and Islam: A Thousand-Word Analytical Discussion Geopolitics—also known as geopolitics—is a complex reality of the world system. It is a complex pattern of policies and relationships developed around the geography, wealth, military power, economy, and cultural influence of states, which directly affects the course of human life and civilization. But what does Islam say in this complex world? How did the Islamic perspective view or still view geopolitics? To find the answer to this question, we must go back to early Islam and the state philosophy of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and integrate it with modern reality.

Islamic alternatives to taxation: Kharaj, Jizya and other revenue sources.
In the current world system, the main means of revenue collection is tax. But this tax system has given rise to a huge class disparity, unjust economic exploitation and unlimited state intervention. While the poor people have to be crushed under the millstone of income tax, value added tax (VAT), customs duty, etc., the rich get relief through various loopholes. Instead of this unstable and unjust system, Islam has given a model of a well-organized, fair and balanced revenue system, which is not based on taxes - but on kharaj, jizya, ushar, rikaz, etc.
