For those who claimed that Islam is inseparable from economics & politics, they are lying to the Muslim Community. Who are they - are they prophets when prophet Muhammad had already said he was the LAST prophet sent?
Many times, the insignificant nobody me had met ultra or even semi religious Islamists whom claimed ALLAH will provide with the often used or misused phrase - inshaALLAH - will of God, even when they were used & misused by their despicable leaders whom only shown OUTWARD forms of Islamic piety to fool them & robbed them blind.
A) Allow me to share a parable:-
A farmer had a plot of land & all that he needed to survive for himself & his kids.
One day, floods - which are only natural occurrences due to atmospheric phenomena - came. Waters rose to the farmer's knees. He kept his family in his house. A group of civil defense officers - comprising of Muslims & non-Muslims came knocking on his door & advised him to take himself & his family to a govt provided shelter on a higher ground.
He refused, & said ALLAH will provide. Rather than to argue with him, those officers left as there were many to be rescued.
The rains continued & flood waters rose to his head. He took his family to the flimsy roof. The civil defense officers came again in boats & urged him to get on the boat with his family for higher grounds. He refused again & said ALLAH will provide. Those officers had no time to argue with him or force him as there were many others to be rescued in such critical times.
Eventually, he & his family drowned & perished. When he met ALLAH in the afterlife, he chided ALLAH for not saving his life, as he had been a pious Muslim - pray 5 times a day, gave Zakat, fasted, etc, etc.
ALLAH then told him:- " I had sent saviors to you & your family TWICE, & yet you refused MY help. If you are not willing to save yourself & MY precious gift of life to you & your family, how then can I help you?
B) When prophet Muhammad won Arabia, he could had been the King & NONE would disagree. However, he only chose an advisory role, akin to being a President in modern times dealing solely upon affairs of the Divine, than to LEAD his Nation, which his companions took turns to do do.
Thus even he had shown that there is a separation between religion & politics, running the mundane affairs of Muslims, & leaving the Spiritual realm to him.
