How urgent is this message in Islam needed in todays economic crisis?
Thanks for your interest in discussion. Your question imposes an unsupported premise, “this message in Islam is needed in today’s economic crisis”. You believe it is needed but you have not stated a reason, only implied that it since it came from the Prophet, it must therefore be a solution to the current economic crisis. Other people feel the same way about trickle-down economics because it came from Ronald Reagan. Clearly the Prophet was a business man and monetary transactions were important to him. He was also the leader of a militia and saw nothing wrong with using military force to get what we wanted, and so he did. He saw nothing wrong with slavery either, so long as the slaves were not Muslims, so he approved of that, too. You want to express your agreement with the Prophet, thus one can surmise that you agree with him on both of the preceding items also. I do not. (Ronnie was religious, too. And he, like the Prophet, was the leader of a militia. He had a different god, however
