I will give some practical examples from history of the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, the rulers of the society and the ruled and thus the virtues of kindness, compassion, benevolence and mutual cooperation among all human beings.

At the time of his conversion to Islam, Abu Bakr had a business profit of forty thousand dirhams. Even after his conversion to Islam, he made a lot of money by doing business. But on the day he migrated to Medina with his great friend Hazrat Muhammad SAW, he had only five thousand dirhams left. He used all his remaining capital to liberate the oppressed Muslim slaves, from which he helped the poor proletariat.

Before the caliphate, a trade fleet came to Hazrat Osman from Syria. The fleet consisted of one thousand camels carrying wheat, olive oil and monakkab. During this time the Muslims were in dire straits due to famine. Many traders come to him and say, you know very well how intense the demand for food is in the country. Sell ​​this stock to us. Hazrat Osman (R) said, I can sell easily but tell me how much profit. The merchants said they would pay double. Hazrat Osman (R) said: I have been offered much more profit than this. They were surprised and asked, "Your fleet has just arrived, and as soon as it has arrived, all the merchants of Medina have appeared." No one else has met us before. So who wants to give you so much profit? Hazrat Osman (R) said that Allah Ta'ala has promised me ten times profit. Can you give me more than that? They did not say. Then Hazrat Uthman (R) testified to Allah that in this trade I gave all the wealth of the fleet for the purpose of Allah for the poor and needy.

Hazrat Ali's family had only three loaves of bread in one day. He gave some of this bread to an orphan, a poor man, and a prisoner. He fed them with satisfaction and went to bed hungry for himself and his family.

Harat Hossain's debt has increased. Abi Niger's fountain is owned by him, he can sell it if he wants to pay off the debt. But the poor Muslims completed the irrigation work from it, so he did not sell it. But the children of Banu Hashem's best family began to carry the burden of debt.

This diverse way of social life is not limited to the Tawarek tribe or the Bedouin nomads. It is not the result of their tribalism either. This is the real Islamic method. This social system is very prevalent among all the tribes who are far away from the modern materialistic and materialistic civilization. I have seen many cities and ports in the West and the East have Islamic connotations and have seen the introduction of such a social system among the inhabitants, whites and blacks and Arabs and non-Arabs alike. I have seen in many places even today Muslims living a very happy life based on mutual help and cooperation. They are undoubtedly happier and more prosperous than the billions of people who worship the Western materialistic civilization. They are still very close to the social system established by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Western worshipers believe in putting their own interests first, even at the expense of the great loss and catastrophe of society. They do not hesitate to harm the interests of their own family if they need to satisfy their personal desires and desires of instinct, there is no question of exploiting the interests of the neighbor.

The fact of the matter is that this mutual security system is the lifeblood of Islam. But it is not left to the conscience or kindness of the individual and society. The government also used to make arrangements to make it effective. Hazrat Omar's (R) determination of monthly stipend for Baitul Maal, infants, infants, old and sick people is a good example of this. It is to be noted here that these expenditure sectors were completely different from the well-known expenditure sector of Zakat. Due to its nature and characteristics, this sector can be termed as 'Social Security System'. He abolished the punishment of theft during famine. Because maybe intense hunger will motivate someone to steal. In Islam, penalties are waived on the basis of suspicion. The following incidents provide the most striking example of the implementation of the social security system, and from this the true nature and boundaries of individual ownership become clear.
