15. QURAN & MODERN SCIENCE
Quran is the ultimate miracle verifiable in every age
This is an age of Science
Science is the study of universe
Universe is the work of Allah
Quran is the word of Allah
No contradiction between the two

16. QURAN: THE ULTIMATE MIRACLE
The Quraan is the truth from the Almighty Allah. As such, it is in harmony and predates modern scientific discoveries.
The Quraan is primarily a book of faith rather than a book of science. Non-the-less, Allah has embedded signs in it that endorse its authenticity.

43. Conflict Resolution: 3rd Side
Outsiders
(neighbors, neutrals, bystanders)
Insiders
(family, friends, the parties themselves)
Side 1 2
Health of our families, business, societies and our national environment depends on intricate webs of cooperation among individuals, families, friends, organizations and nations … all too often distrusted by quarreling and violence.
The language of conflict is universal” I want it, No I want it, No, I am right, No I am right, you are wrong.
When dispute erupts, there always others around – relatives, neighbors, allies, neutrals, friends and onlookers. Every conflict occurs with a community that constitutes the “third side” of any dispute which serves as a container for the escalating conflict. Within the container, conflict can gradually be transformed from confrontation into cooperation. Thus, third side serves as a kind if social immune system preventing the spread of virus of violence.
Individually people many not prove very influential. But collectively, they are more powerful then any two conflicting parties. Organizing themselves into coalition, they can balance the power between parties and protect the weaker one. One stick breaks easily, but if you combine lost of the stick, you can’t break them.
The secret of natural system is vigilant, active and construction involvement of the surrounding member of the community. Entire community should get involved.

Capitalist Citizen
(limited liability)
(1886)
Today's business corporation is an artificial creation, shielding owners and managers while preserving corporate privilege and existence. Artificial or not, corporations have won more rights under law than people have -- rights which government has protected with armed force.
Corporations owned resources, production, commerce, trade, prices, jobs, politicians, judges and the law. Over the next half century, as a United States congressional committee concluded in 1941, "The principal instrument of the concentration of economic power and wealth has been the corporate charter with unlimited power . . .“
Responding to the pressures of financial markets, corporations:
Deplete social capital by moving production to places where they can pay less than a living wage or use the threat of moving jobs to break up labor unions and bargain down wages. Gains from productive activity are thus shifted from working people to money people. Furthermore, the stress of attempting to maintain self and family on insecure jobs paying less than a family wage results in family breakdown and violence, depleting the social capital of society.
Deplete human capital by hiring young women in places like the Mexican maquiladorasunder conditions that lead to their physical burnout after three or four years. Once eyesight problems, allergies, kidney problems, and repetitive stress injuries deplete their efficiency, they are replaced by a fresh supply of younger women. Such practices destroy lives and deplete society's human capital.
Deplete the Earth's natural capital through strip mining forests, fisheries, and mineral deposits, dumping wastes, and aggressively marketing toxic chemicals.
Deplete institutional capital by fighting environmental and other regulations essential to the long-term health and viability of society. Corporations further demand direct public subsidies, subsidized infrastructure, and relief from their fair share of taxes. This shifts a greater share of the tax burden onto working people and undermines the credibility and performance of government in its essential functions, thus eroding the legitimacy of democratic government.
Deplete business capital. Corporate managers are forced into a short-term view even in regard to their own operations. They cut investment in research and training essential to their own future prospects. As they downsize, the sharp employee quickly learns to use the job only to build a resume to attract a higher bidder. These actions erode the corporation's own human, intellectual, social, and physical capital.

Islamic Economic System
Economics is a Science of wealth (to teach selfishness). K.K Dewett
Economic is made to study “wealth” rather than “welfare”.
Whatever the economics is concerned with it is not concerned with:
Study of relation of real goods (physical science) and wealth (monetary science)
Study of relation of material welfare (of individual) and general welfare (of humanity).
Study of relation of “short term needs: and “long-term needs”
Wealth Tax (عبادت)
Guarantee basic human needs
Restricting wealth accumulation
Earned income (محنت)
Restricts consumption (اعتدال)
Distribute surplus wealth (عبادت)
