Write up for the Back Page 

Noble Mohammad, the last Messenger, received the same Sallat [Constitution] and Zakah [Compatible Economic System] that Allah revealed to all of His previous Apostles. He worked very hard, along with his honorable companions to make the people of Hijaz understand the new system of government, which introduced Central Administration, as opposed to the independent City States, existing at that time.

It was a monumental assignment, which he successfully completed in almost two decades and established the government, first in Medina, and then in Mecca, after he conquered that city, without any bloodshed. The system worked very well, and the weak desert squatters, disdainfully called by the neighboring Iranians, were unified and turned into the first rate power of the time. History testifies to that reality.

The Iranians were devastated by the crumbling of their millennia old magnificent empire on the onslaught of a rag-tag volunteer Arab force. They decided, as a nation, to avenge that insult, and following the age-old English adage, ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’, they became pseudo-Muslims, learned Arabic and started the biggest national conspiracy against the united Arab power.

In the mean time, the people friendly administration, without the distinction of rulers and the ruled, established by Mohammad and his associates ended with the death of his last pal, when the people having lust for power and hunger for riches changed it into autocracy. Umayyad caliphs, in fact atrocious ruling kings, completely altered the administration and the compatible economic system established by Mohammad to suit their personal needs. Nevertheless, they were no good for the Iranians, who started conspiring to topple them. Finally, they succeeded in installing Abbasid clan on the throne, and got their chance to take revenge.

About 250 or 300 years after the death of Mohammad, they started an all out campaign to collect his aphorisms or statements. It was just a cover for their heinous plot to ridicule Mohammad and his bosom buddies. Actually, they did not collect even a single saying, but fabricated millions of Ahadith in his name. That was the beginning of the Muslim Ummah coming apart, and is still going strong. Similarly, they created his fictitious Sunnah, fake Fiqah, and baseless Traditions.

They also tried to change the text of the Qur’an, but could not do anything in that area, as Arabic is a language of roots, which is impossible to change. Moreover, hundreds of thousand of Muslim Huffaz [plural of Hafiz, the one committing the entire Qur’an to memory] were there, who could thwart any such move. However, the Iranian Aimmah followed the second best option; they changed the connotations of almost eighty-thousand, terms, phrases, and expressions of the Qur’an. For example Sallat meaning government turned into Nimaz [an Iranian word], and Zakah, which means economic system of the Qur’an changed to 2.5 % tax on one’s annual savings.

This presentation, as the title indicates, is a mono-lithic approach to the subjects of Sallat and Zakah, but many other closely associated topics like Darood-o-Salam, Kalimat, Khutbat, Adyya, etc., have also been addressed and discussed in detail. Efforts have been made to present all evidence from the Qur’an, and translate the verses, as these were understood in the period of Mohammad and his associates. Readers are going to appraise, how much the authors have succeeded in their effort.
