Abu Dharr al-Ghifari
Islamic economy is, generally, founded on populist standards which target keeping up with the equity of man through impartial appropriation of abundance, hence wiping out dissimilarity between the rich and poor people. Islam has struck at the foundation of the standard of making the rich more extravagant and the poor less fortunate, which has been continued in the industrialist and settler states since days of yore. It has forestalled the misuse of the poor because of the rich.
Islam has developed its monetary standards on such lines as to limit these abberations and take out qualifications in the dissemination of human fortunes, The rich individuals are to be vigorously burdened through Zakat to help th,e poor and this tax collection structures one of the cardinal standards of Islam which no evident Muslim can disregard. Its criticism of "interest" and accentuation on the yearly installment of Zakat-a strict mandatory assessment required on capital pay shaping one of the essentials of Islam, is a compelling advance towards nonaccumulation of abundance.
The Holy Quran, while listing the characteristics of a Momin (genuine Muslim) expresses that he is one who appropriates his abundance for Allah, among his poor brethren. The Prophet of Islam has seen that if the Muslims could loyally pay their Zakat, a period would come when there would be no penniless individual left to get something very similar. Islam in its initial days delivered numerous passionate examples of the libertarian standards of Islam.
They forfeited their just for the purpose of God. Occasions of unmatched liberality and kindheartedness are two various to be cited from the existence of the Companions of the Prophet. Yet, the most vocal and dauntless example of non-amassing and more extensive conveyance of private abundance was Hazrat Abuzar Ghaffari, a profoundly regarded and confided in Companion of the Prophet. Brought into the world in a clan of rascals, named Ghaffar, dwelling close to the troop course driving from Makkah to Syria, Jundab, later known as Abuzar, before long rose: to be an incredible head of raiders and a fear for the encompassing country. Yet, Jundab had a live inner voice and a moving heart.
The assaults, brought about by his awful attacks and the torments of his casualties gave a defining moment in his vocation. Contemplation prompted regret, which made him forsake the awful life as well as prevent others from it. This made a furore in the clan and an unwholesome air for him which obliged him to leave the spot and take cover somewhere else. He had now fostered an outrageous repugnance for his past improper existence of desire and loot.
This defining moment in the existence of Abuzar is of incredible importance ~IS it gave the universe of Islam one of its generally true and progressive figures. He, alongside his mom and sibling Anees, moved to Upper Najd, where one of his maternal uncles dwelled. This was the primary movement of Abuzar looking for truth and uprightness. Here, as well, he was unable to remain for long. His progressive thoughts had threatened his tribesmen who griped to his maternal uncle.
In a universe of desire and bad habit, he was by all accounts a weird figure. He went out and took asylum in a town close to Makkah. Abuzar currently longed for something different. He was looking for truth. Indeed, even prior to accepting Islam, he was against icon love and thought about God as one and incomparable. When he said: "I used to say my petitions three years before I had the pleasure of seeing the Holy Prophet of Islam" His sibling, Anees who had gone to Makkah presented to him the information on the beginning of another skyline Islam. It was the point at which the lessons of the Holy Prophet of Islam had drummed up some excitement in Makkah and had sent an influx of hatred t.hroughout Arabia.
Abuzar was normally drawn towards the Messenger of God and ached to see him. He showed up in Makkah, infrequently visited Kaaba and for over a month firmly considered the direct and lessons of the Holy Prophet in the threatening conditions of Makkah. The Kaaba which, back then, was loaded with symbols and was regularly visited by icon admirers of Quraish was a mainstream meeting place. The Prophet of Islam, also came to offer his supplications there. Abuzar finally got an opportunity of meeting him. This gave him a chance of satisfying his profound longing.
There and afterward he accepted Islam and became one of its generally passionate and courageous heroes. Presently began his time of hardships. He transparently offered petition and lectured the new confidence in Kaaba. At some point, the Quraish idolators fell upon him and had he not been protected by Abbas, the uncle of the Prophet, who reminded the attackers that their casualty was a significant individual from the Ghaffar group, who ended up occupying the region including their shipping lane to Syria. Thusly, the individuals from the family were in a situation to end their business with that country.
This contention chilled off their fierceness until further notice. Thenceforward, Abuzar devoted himself to the assistance of Islam and its author. He before long acquired a fortunate and revered spot among the Companions of the Prophet and came to be perceived as one of his actual close and confided in Companions. He was deputed by the Prophet to lecture Islamin his own clan. He went to his own territory and energetically lectured the new confidence and met with enormous achievement. His mom and sibling Anees, however practically the whole tribe of raiders and rascals additionally accepted Islam.
He was one of the chief and rather the main preacher of Islam. Delegated with extraordinary! accomplishment in his troublesome mission, he got back to Makkah to be even more regarded by the Prophet and his Companions. He was held in high regard by the Prophet. At the point when he later left Medina to take an interest in the "Clash of Rags", Abuzar was selected as the Imam and Administrator of Medina. On his passing bed, the Prophet sent for Abuzar and accepted him, pronouncing: "Abuzar would be similar all through his life. He would not change even after my demise". The expressions of the Prophet demonstrated valid.
Abuzar passed a totally basic and devout life, hating ceremony and show and decrying the industrialists and their abundance for the duration of his life, uncommonly in the hour of the Third Caliph of Islam, when the individuals from Quraish were moving in riches. Abuzar was a steadfast hero of the populist standards of Islam. His adherence to and understanding of "Aya-I-Kanz" (section on convergence of riches) raised an extraordinary debate during the hour of Hazrat Usman, the Third Caliph. This 'itya" in "Sura-I-Tauba" of the Holy Quran runs as follow: "The individuals who aggregate affectionately gold and silver and don't spend in the way of Allah, reveal to them critical destruction will be their part.
On that day, their temples, sides and backs will be marked with the really gold and silver,made super hot and it will be said: "This is the thing that you had gathered for your advantage. Presently taste what you had aggregated". Lethal went against to collecting abundance he thought about it against the soul of Islam. He was unable to accommodate himself with the developing free enterprise among the Muslims in Syria administered by Muawiya. As he would like to think, it was mandatory on all obvious.
Muslims to convey their excess abundance among their poor brethren. In validation he refered to the accompanying episode in the existence of the Prophet : "One day as the Holy Prophet was taking a stroll alongside Abuzar, the heap of Ohad came in see, he said to Abuzar: "On the off chance that I have gold equivalent to the heaviness of the there mountain, I could never mind to take a gander at it and have it with me on the third day aside from that which will be needed to result my obligations. The rest I would circulate among the slavesof Allah".
He satisfied his feelings and tried to do he said others should do. In his demeanor towards free enterprise he was solid to such an extent that he could have done without the most noteworthy dignitaries. Hazrat Abu Hurairah, an exceptionally famous Companion of the Prophet, was delegated the Governor of Bahrain. He came to see Abuzar who would not see him from the outset. Be that as it may, on enquiry, regarding why he was so irritated with him, Abuzar answered: "You have been designated Governor of Bahrain". "Indeed" , was the answer. "Then, at that point you more likely than not constructed a palatial house and bought a major domain there", added Abuzar. Nothing of this sort , answered Abu Hurairah. "Then, at that point you are my sibling" , answered Abuzar and quickly accepted him.
His preachings were never tested during the hour of the initial two Caliphs. He passed a serene life, and was regarded by all. Be that as it may, the difficulty emerged during the hour of the Third Caliph. Abuzar had moved to Syria, where he discovered Governor Muawiya living in extravagance and solidifying his position with the help of a special class which had amassed tremendous fortunes. Abuzar's libertarian preachings stirred the majority against this favored class. He turned into an issue for the neighborhood Government. At the point when Muawiya assembled his green royal residence, Al-Khizra, Abuzar addressed him: "On the off chance that you have fabricated this castle out of the state reserves, you are liable of misappropriation; if out of your own pay, you are liable of 'israf" (extravagance}." Muawiya was paralyzed and could give no answer. Muawiya made an honest effort to prevent Abuzar from his populist preachings however Abuzar was unyielding and firm on his standards.
The Ameer organized conversations with him by educated researchers of Islam, whose contentions cut no ice with him. Individuals were illegal to connect with or pay attention to him. By the by individuals crowded around him for exhortation. Finally Muawiya whined to Caliph Usman that Abuzar was lecturing class disdain in Syria which may prompt genuine results. Immediately, Abuzar was called to Medina by the Caliph. Well before his appearance in the city, the inhabitants of Medina had emerged from their homes to invite this worshipped Companion of the Prophet. In Medina, as well, he was unable to have a quiet life. The well off segment of the populace felt uncomfortable over his exercises supporting impartial conveyance of abundance.
The Caliph finally orchestrated a conversation regarding the matter among him and Kaab Ahbar, a learned individual. The last scrutinized the allure of keeping the law of legacy in Muslim statute when Islam didn't allow the aggregation of riches. 8\1t this was off the point. The conversation bore no outcome and Hazrat Usman asked him at last to leave Medina and settle at Rabza, a little town on the train course from Iraq to Medina. The adversaries of Islam like Abdullah ibn Saba, attempted to actuate him to rebel against the Calliph yet he reprimanded them saying: "If Usman drapes me on the most noteworthy mountain, I won't lift my finger against him". Like a genuine Muslim, Abuzar bowed before the sets of the Central Authority of Islam.
He relocated to Rabza and kicked the bucket there on the eighth Zil-Hijja, 32 A.H. His dead body lay close to the band course, watched by his widow. There was none to cover him. Abruptly, not too far off seemed a procession of Hajis heading towards Makkah. On being educated that the dead body was that of Abuzar, the adored Companion of the Prophet, they got down, offered memorial service supplication, driven by Abdulla ibn Masood,the praised researcher of Islam and covered him. Hence finished the existence of this confided in Companion of the Prophet who lectured and rehearsed genuine communism in excess of 1,000 years before Karl Marx.
He lived and kicked the bucket for his standards censuring the aggregation ofwealth. The Holy Prophet of Islam had confirmed him as the "most honest", and Hazrat Ali had announced about him : "There is currently none, with the exception of Abuzar, on the planet, who isn't apprehensive about the outburst of recriminations from the side of reprobates in issue of religion. Indeed, even I am no exemption".
