This article is from Intellectual Issuance blog. All praise is due to the Almighty Allah ﷻ.

For those who question the validity of this article, please know it is built upon the work of the eminent mujtahid Sheikh Taqiuddin al-Nabahani, whom graduated from Al-Azhar University and the Dar-ul-Ulum college of Cairo, primarily upon his two renowned books; ‘Economic System in Islam’ and ‘Islamic Personality’, both of which I will cite here: Al-Nabhani, T., 1990.  The Economic System In Islam .  Fourth edition.London: Al-Khilafah Publications. Al-Nabhani, T
