TREASURY
Treasury from the Old French word “tresorie”. A place where treasure is stored safely,
a place where state or royal money and valuables are stored and a collection or artistic or literary
works.
Treasury is any place where the currency or item of high monetary value like rubies
and diamonds etc. are kept. The term was first used in Classical times to describe the votive
building erected to house gifts to the gods, such as the Siphnian Treasury in Delphi or many
similar building erected in Olympia, Greece by competing city-states to impress others during
the ancient Olympic Games.
In Ancient Greece treasuries were almost always physically incorporated within
religious buildings such as temples, thus making state funds sacrosanct and adding moral
constraints to the penal ones to those who would have access to these funds.
The head of a Treasury is typically known as a Treasurer This position may not
necessarily have the final control over the actions of the Treasury particularly if they are not an
elected representative

BAITULMAL
Bayt al-mal (baitulmal) is derived from the Arabic word ( المال bayt al-mal which ,(بيت
means "house property". In Islamic history, Bayt al-mal is a financial institution responsible for
administering the tax. Bayt al-mal functions as treasury caliphs and sultans of managing personal
finances and government spending. It also manages the distribution of public charity for the
people. Modern Islamic economists consider the institutional framework appropriate to the
Baitulmal as the Muslim community now.
The concepts of welfare and pension were introduced in early Islamic law as forms of
Zakat (charity), one of the Five Pillars of Islam, during the time of the Rashidun caliph Umar in
the 7th century. This practiced continued well into the era of the Abbasid Caliphate, as seen
under Al-Ma'mun's rule in the 8th century, for example. The taxes (including Zakat and Jizya)
collected in the treasury of an Islamic government were used to provide income for the needy,
including the poor, elderly, orphans, widows, and the disabled. According to the Islamic jurist
Al-Ghazali (Algazel, 1058–1111), the government was also expected to stockpile food supplies
in every region in case a disaster or famine occurred. The Caliphate is thus considered the
world's first major welfare state.

countries. Wealth accumulated in the treasury is the property owned by all the people who live
and lived under the Islamic government. Treasury in accordance with the views al-Mawardi is
the record collection and distribution of wealth. More precisely treasury as treasury country is
receiving from various sources of financial and property accumulated by Islamic countries such
as charity(zakat), wakaf property, tax and others.
Treasury contains a concept and a very broad understanding of property based on the
full faith and piety to believe that only beseech God the Creator. Administrator and
Superintendent of the universe, while the Caliph was a trustee to manage property that has
accumulated in the treasury. In fact, the scope of treasury accounting for a larger role compared
with the treasury national concepts today that not only serves as national treasures through
institutional policies and its importance to the government, even acting as a central bank that
serves the nation's financial system. If viewed from context treasury at the beginning of Islam, a

ZAKAT
Zakat in Arabic (زكاة) sometimes "Zakāh/Zekat" or "alms giving", one of the Five
Pillars of Islam, is the giving of a small percentage of one's possessions (surplus wealth) to
charity, generally to the poor and needy. It is often compared to the system of tithing and alms,
but it serves principally as the welfare contribution to poor and deprived Muslims, although
others may have a rightful share. It is the duty of an Islamic community not just to collect zakat
but to distribute it fairly as well.
In terms of language charity means clean, pure, fertile and growing.
From Sura’ Al-Taubah (09), verse 103:
)“ ” لهم سكن صالتك إن عليهم وصل بها وتزكيهم تطهرهم صدقة أموالهم من سميع) 103خذ والله
عليم
“Take (some) from their wealth alms (zakat), that so thou purify them (from sins) and purified
them (from moral evil) and pray for them, surely prayers (Muhammad) is to be security for them
( remember) Allah is Hearing, Knowing”

Conditions For Zakah
Several conditions must be fulfilled before zakah can be paid. These conditions are necessary as
zakah can only be applied on those who are of legal age and who own enough assets. These
conditions are categorized into two broad categories, namely performer and asset.
Zakah Performer Muslim - Every Muslim who is of a certain age and owns enough assets is
required to pay zakah.
Zakah Asset - Full Ownership A Muslim will only be required to pay zakah if he or she has full
and legal ownership of an asset.
Zakah is payable only on those assets that are acquired for the purpose of creating or generating
wealth. Some examples of this type of assets are livestock or crops that are traded or sold,
inventory of goods used for trading, and investments such as gold or securities that have
potential for appreciation in value. However, zakah is not payable in the case of fixed assets such
as buildings, if they are not subjected to "capital circulation".
Assets That Exceed A Minimum Value
Zakah need only be paid on those assets that exceed a minimum value. This minimum value is
calculated based on the market price of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of pure silver. This
minimum value is termed Nisab. The Islamic Fiqh and Research Councils, as well as Jumhur
(majority) of Ulama' recommend that gold be used as the basis for the calculation of nisab.

Completion of Haul
Haul is defined as the completion period for a zakah asset. The length of time for haul is one
Islamic or Hijri year (1 year Hijri = 354.5 days, 1 year Solar = 365.25 days). Zakah is only
payable on assets that have been held for at least this period.
Types of Zakah
Zakah Fitr is a one off payment that is made once in every Muslim Hijri calendar year at any
time between the first day of the month of Ramadhan and the first day of Shawal. All Muslims
are obliged to pay this, regardless of their age, status or wealth. The amount of zakah payable is
approximately 3kg of staple food in the relevant country or an amount of money that is
equivalent to the price of the food.
Zakah al-Mal is an annual payment based on the amount of wealth owned by a Muslim
individual or organization. This payment is obligatory upon any Muslim individual or
organization that has completed the requirement of Nisab (minimum taxable amount) and Haul
(one Muslim Hijri calendar year). The payment is 2.5% out of the total wealth deemed for zakah.

KHARAJ
Kharaj means land revenue tax imposed on non-Muslims. In Sharia law, Kharaj is tax
on agricultural land. Kharaj not mentioned in the Quran or Hadith, but more to Ijma' agreement
or Islamic scholars and some of the traditions of Islam or URF.
In Islamic history, Kharaj form of duty imposed on land that was confiscated from the
Byzantine Empire and Sassanid, whether through war or peace. If the peace agreement between
Muslims and residents has been agreed that says the land is owned by Serra Islamiyah (country),
and they agree to pay Kharaj, they must be fulfilled. Kharaj by language means al-kara '(rent)
and al-ghullah (results). Each soil taken from the kuffar by force, after they declared war on, so
land that categorized as land kharajiyah. Although they embraced Islam after the conquest, but
the land is still land kharajiyah status.
While the number of Kharaj collected from the compulsory land shall be calculated
based on the land. At the time of 'Umar set Kharaj, examine the contents of his land, and not act
against the wrong owner and plantation. In some situations he has been collecting for every 1
Kharaj jarib to 1 qafiz and 1 dirham. In the event that he and other land Kharaj collect the
amount is different. Syria is in the area he collect total Kharaj different.
Therefore, it is known that he examine the content of each soil based on the rate of
land. An Imam (Caliph) can be calculated by observing Kharaj matters which should be based
on three aspects of this:

1. based on land area, or
2. pastures, or
3. will be calculated based on crop yield can be at that time.
If the land is so been fertilized pastures can increase yield, or the land is attacked factors
that can make the results less watering then such matters must be studied first.: If the yield
increase is the result of the efforts of farmers, for example they have been digging wells, or they
make water, so they will not be added Kharaj even slightly.
JIZYAH
Jizyah or jizya (جز*ي) is the extra tax imposed on non-Muslims (Dhimmis) who live
under Muslim rule according to the Qur'an and
The name for the head-tax under Islamic rule extorted to the dhimmies. This must be
handed over in obsequious way (including impacts on the necks). Welfare benefits and cash
allowances to Mohammedans are often regarded as the jizhya which has to be given to them. So
are the billions given by America to the Palestinians, Egypt, Pakistan, etc. which basically only
feed their hatred towards the West.
PHILOSOPHY AND CONTRACT IN ISLAMIC FINANCE AND BANKING
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold forbidden that which hath
been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they
are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel
themselves subdued. (Qur,an 9:29)
Once a land is conquered by Islamic armies the ruler can impose a taxation on those non-
Muslims who will not convert to Islam.
Jizyah is paid as a sign of submission and gives Dhimmis some legal protection in return.
Under dhimmitude (the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims) Dhimmis
usually are not allowed to carry arms to protect themselves, serve in the army or government,
display symbols of their faith, build or repair places of worship etc. If the conquered do not wish
to pay or convert, their fate may very well be slavery (under which, rape is permitted) or (as
evidenced in the quotes above) death.
The amount of the Jizyah tax and the way it was collected varied from time to time and
from place to place, but when imposed, the forced payment of Jizyah greatly stimulated the
conversion of non-Muslims into Islam. In some cases the taxation of the non-Muslims was so
profitable that the Islamic rulers prohibited their subjects from converting to Islam, lest they
should lose their income.

Property Tax In Islam
Acquisition of property (of Muslims), this is referred to as dharibah (a collection) is allowed by
syara 'to be collected by Serra Islamiyah (country) and the responsibility of countries to spend
with the right.
It should be emphasized that dharibah not 'tax' as often wrong interpreted or the arguments made
by those who are ignorant to allow tax. Dharibah is a form of 'special collection' collected from
the rich Muslims / feasible only, that is only on the condition experience Bayt al-mal or deficit
are not sufficient to perform any obligation of the country. Can’t collect if dharibah Baitul mal
countries still inadequate. It is only collected in the state of the country is so desperate if not
collected, then a duty will be neglected. Dharibah can only be collected in the following
circumstances only,

Dharibah not like the current tax (in the economic system of capitalism) because
1) It is resouces and taken inspiration from the Prophet's Hadith and also Ijma Friend
2) It is not a source of fixed income countries because it is collected only when the Baitul Mal
had a deficit and facing a critical situation and it is not collected only by prolonged

CONCLUSION
Implementation Baitulmal during Rashidun is based on Islamic and distortion does not occur.
Bayt al-mal economy can increase the Muslim community.
We would have realized the key aspects of the economic system I highlighted are much
more than the current Islamic Banking or Islamic Finance and it should be clear that this system
cannot be implemented without a true Islamic state which rules by the Shariah and unlike the
Muslim world today is a truly independent state and not an agent of the west.
Instead of turning to billions of dollars of bailouts where the US and UK are spending tax payers
money in order to save their collapsing financial system, people should realized that Islam offers
the world a practical alternative. The next speaker will elaborate on the importance of taking the
Islamic system as a whole and not separating the economic system of Islam from the other
systems such as ruling or punishment.
Even many non-Muslim thinkers have recognized the progress and development that was
achieved under Islamic rule in history in all fields of science and technology.
