Social security is achieved not only through Zakat but by ‘Sadaqah’ (charit y), ‘Waq f ’ (rendering any asset for public use freely), ‘Ghanema’ (booty) and d ist r ibut ion f rom t he ‘Bayt Al-Maal ’ (Muslim treasury).The second Caliph, Umar, on seeing an old Jewish man begging asked why. On hearing the man’s reply, Umar said: “We have not dealt with you in justice if we took from you (tax) while you were young and now we have left you alone when you are old.”Umar brought the man to his house and gave him some money. He then ordered the treasury officer to give such people, who could not earn their living, an upkeep from the public treasury. On another occasion he saw a non-Muslim leper on his way back from a journey and he issued orders that lepers should be provided maintenance from the State funds.The SancTiTy& SecuriTy ofPrivaTe Life anddigniTyeconomic &SociaL SecuriTy Islam recognizes the right of every citizen of the State and that there should be no undue interference or encroachment on the privacy of any life. The Holy Qur’an has laid down the injunction: “O you who have believed, do not enter houses other than your own houses until you ascertain welcome…” (Qur’an 24:27) The Prophet went to the extent of instructing his followers that a man should not enter even his own house suddenly or surreptitiously. Besides this, slandering, backbiting and defaming one’s dignity or status are not only disallowed but also abhorrent practices. The Holy Qur’an says: “…And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it…” (Qur’an 49:12)The SecuriTyof PerSonaLfreedomIslam has laid down the principle that no citizen be imprisoned unless his guilt has been proven in an open court.“…when you judge between people to judge with justice…” (Qur’an 4:58) And Allah tells Muhammad to say: “…I have been commanded to do justice among you.” (Qur’an 42:15)This was the reason why the Caliph Umar said: “In Islam no one can be imprisoned except in pursuance of justice.” Zakah (poor due) is one of the pillars of Islam and at the same time one of the best tools for stabilizing the socio-economic securities in a Muslim society. It is a part of the Islamic economic system and one of the means of achieving social security. Islam is the religion of peace; it renders life secure in all walks of life not only for its followers but for all human beings
