Islamic Economic Frameworks need to have acceptance of the living Imam e Zamana as integral part: A letter to Brother Mohammad Khaku
Hello all, With prayers for abundance in happiness and health for you, all women and children in your home and all in the family, you might like to read this since I have been writing from the perspective of acceptance of the real time messiah of our age. I have written a letter to brother Mohammad Khaku, a muslim from 12er Shia background based in USA. He has been a prolific writer on Substack. Reading the letter, you will find out the reason, I am asking for calling for the acceptance of Fatimi Khalifatullah Shah Raheem al Hussaini Aga Khan V,the living messiah, the imam e zamana referred to as kalki in Sanskrit literature.
Brother Mohammad Khaku, With salam for abundance in glory to you and all in the family in allegance to Fatimi Khalifatullah Shah Raheem al Hussaini Aga Khan V, I am pleased to share about my acceptance of the 50th Imam and Fatimi Khalifatullah as the Imam e Zamana after research and debates in which I had received abusive words as well since I did not know about the unbroken chain of Fatimi Khalifatullah, temporal domain of Fatimi Khalifatullah during the years 909-1173 AD.

Wealth InequalitiesInequality is fruit of a poisoned tree, reflects the lasting effects of colonialism. The unchecked accumulation of wealth by billionaires & the lack of taxation on the rich threaten democracy.![]() In the United States, the wealth distribution highlights that the top 1% of Americans now control 27% of all wealth. The top 10% hold a combined 60% of the nation's wealth, while the bottom 50% share only 6%. Wealth inequality continues to be a significant issue, with the richest 1% owning almost half of the global wealth. This Saturday, September 27th, at 2:00 pm, there will be a documentary on income and wealth inequality in the USA. Neo-colonial legacies, exploitation, and slavery have fueled ongoing poverty, while billionaire oligarchs’ edge closer to becoming trillionaires. Tackling poverty could take a century as inequality in the USA escalates faster than anywhere else. Wealth inequality in the U.S. has worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic, with the rich getting richer while many of the poorest struggle with eviction, homelessness, unemployment, and lack of health insurance. Housing prices have skyrocketed, making it even harder for low-income families to afford homes, while millionaires reside in $238 million apartments on Billionaire Blvd. Racial and ethnic wealth gaps have also grown, disproportionately impacting marginalized communities. The growing influence of plutocracy is leading to the gradual decline of democracy. One major risk of not taxing billionaires proportionately is the emergence of a plutocracy, where immense wealth directly leads to political power and influence. When a tiny group holds most of the resources, they can shape public policy to serve their own interests, undermining the justice system and the democratic principle of equal representation for all. This isn’t just a theory or propaganda—studies reveal that economic elites have significantly more influence on government policies than the average citizen, especially in highly unequal nations like the United States. A widely recognized study from Princeton University by Gilens and Page revealed that economic elites and business-oriented groups significantly influence U.S. government policy, while the average citizen has minimal or no independent impact. With a billion-dollar endowment and hundreds of millions spent on lobbying this election cycle, AIPAC, along with its PAC contributing millions to both Republican and Democratic congressional candidates, stands as one of the most powerful lobbying organizations in Washington, D.C., primarily advocating for pro-Israel policies. The top 1% of the world holds more wealth than 95% of humanity combined. They are takers, not makers, benefiting from the unfairness of poverty and the unearned privilege of colonial inheritance. Last year, there was only one trillionaire, but Oxfam predicts that, at this pace, there could be five soon. At the same time, 3.6 billion people still live below the $6.85 poverty line. Sixty percent of billionaire wealth comes from inheritance, exploitation of Africa's resources, cronyism, tax loopholes, corruption, government contracts, military-industrial complex, prison-industrial complex, monopoly power, and interest or price manipulation. In 2023, the Global South has been paying over $30 million per hour to the richest 1% in the Global North through exploitative loans, interest, and trade deals. Since the 1970s, Africa is estimated to have lost over $1 trillion in wealth due to neo-colonial practices. Trade imbalances continue to favor European nations, costing Africa around $50 billion annually. Beyond Capitalism and Socialism: Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr's Examination of an Islamic Economic Framework https://wisconsinmuslimjournal.org/https-themuslimvibe-com-faith-islam-beyond-capitalism-and-socialism-muhammad-baqir-al-sadrs-quest-for-an-islamic-economic-system/ Iqtisaduna is a revolutionary work in Islamic economics, taught at institutions like Al Azhar University and universities across India, Pakistan, Malaysia, China, and the Arab world, playing a key role in its development. It offers a fresh take on economic progress grounded in Islamic values and principles, presenting a detailed framework that links economic theory with ethics, social goals, and political objectives. Gorbachev, initially unaware of Al-Sadr, assumed he was an elderly Ayatollah over sixty. However, he later discovered that Al-Sadr was in his thirties when he authored the book. Gorbachev recognized the importance of Al-Sadr's work in tackling economic challenges within an Islamic framework. He noted the potential of Islamic economics to provide alternatives to Western economic models and appreciated Al-Sadr's critique of capitalism and communism and their effects on society. Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr was a pioneer in Islamic economics and social justice, leaving a profound legacy through his work. His ideas and contributions to Islamic scholarship, economics, and social justice continue to inspire Muslims around the world, and his vision for a more just and equitable society remains as relevant today as it was during his lifetime. Addressing poverty, inequality, and injustice in today's world calls for reflecting on the legacy of Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr and working toward a society that is more just and compassionate, guided by the principles of Islamic ethics and social justice.
