Interesting book on future of money by Islamic scholar...

(Note: This should be intuitive, but 'Riba' is interest.)

There is a grand design that links international politics,
international monetary economics and religion with today’s
fraudulent monetary system. Let us explain.

Every Jewish child knows about, and believes in, a divine
promise communicated to the Israelite people in which Allah
Most High promised that history would end with one man, who
would be a Prophet and the Messiah, ruling the whole world
from the throne of David (‘alaihi al-Salām) in Holy Jerusalem with
eternal rule. Jews concluded there-from that history would end
with Pax Judaica (a Judeo-world-order), and with Jerusalem
once more at the center of the world as it was at the time of
Solomon (‘alaihi al-Salām). They believed that Pax Judaica would
validate the Jewish claim to truth, while invalidating all other
such claims.

It is quite remarkable that Muslims and Christians both
share with Jews the belief that the historical process would
culminate with the Messiah ruling the world with justice from

Holy Jerusalem. However, unlike Jews, Muslims and Christians
both believe that Jesus, the son of the Virgin Mary, was the
divinely promised Messiah. They also both believe that he was
raised into the heavens at the time of the attempt to crucify him,
and that he would return to rule the world from Jerusalem
exactly as divinely prophesied.

The Qur’ān explained the phenomenon of his return by
disclosing that Jesus was not crucified but, rather, that Allah
Most High caused it to appear as such:

“That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary,
the Apostle of Allah"; — but they killed him not, nor crucified him,
but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are
full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to
follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up
unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise."

Christians have rejected that declaration of the Qur’ān, and
persist in their belief that Jesus was crucified.

Jews, on the other hand, reject Jesus as the Messiah, and
await another Messiah who would liberate the Holy Land for
Jews, bring them back to the Holy Land to reclaim it as their
own, restore the Holy State of Israel in the Holy Land (i.e., the
Holy Israel that was created by the Prophets David and
Solomon), and then cause that Israel to become the ruling state
in the world. That Messiah would then rule the world from
Holy Jerusalem with Pax Judaica and bring back the Jewish
golden age.

There is compelling evidence that continues to
mysteriously unfold in the world that appears to validate the
Jewish claim to truth. After all, the ‘liberation’ of the Holy
Land took place in 1917. Then the world witnessed the
subsequent return of the Jews to the Holy Land to reclaim it as
their own some 2000 years after they were expelled from it by
divine decree. The establishment of the present (imposter) State
of Israel then followed in 1948, and subsequently growth of
Israel to super-power status in the world became evident.
Along the way the Judeo-Christian alliance that brought modern
western civilization into being has made steady progress
towards the establishment of a world government. It now
appears to be only a matter of time before Israel replaces USA
as the ruling state in the world, and a ruler of Israel makes his
appearance as the head of a world government based in
Jerusalem, and he makes the momentous claim that he is the
Messiah!

Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) informed the
world that Allah Most High, who had pre-knowledge of all
events, had responded to the Jewish rejection of the true
Messiah by creating a false Messiah. He disclosed that Allah
Most High would release that evil being into the world in a
dimension of time other than our own (see chapter two of ‘Surah
al-Kahf and the Modern Age’ entitled ‘The Qur’an and Time’), and
with a mission to impersonate the true Messiah. Consequently
Dajjāl the false Messiah would have to attempt to establish a
world government through which he would rule over the world
from Jerusalem.

There is information in the life of the blessed Prophet
which indicates that the false Messiah was released into the
world after the Prophet’s Hijrah to Madina had taken place, and
after the Jews of Madina had rejected him as a true Prophet and
the Qur’ān as the revealed word of Allah Most High.
‘Jerusalem in the Qur’ān,’ has explained this subject in quite
some detail.

The Prophet also disclosed that one of the most formidable
weapons that the false Messiah would use to achieve his goal of
ruling the world from Jerusalem would be that of reducing
mankind to such a state of internal spiritual blindness that they
would be incapable of perceiving his diabolical strategies and
would thus be deceived. (See ‘Surah al-Kahf and the Modern
Age’ chapter on ‘Moses and Khidr’). The Prophet disclosed the
supreme strategy through which the false Messiah would seek
to impose his universal dictatorship over mankind to be the
weapon of Ribā. With Riba he would enslave with poverty
those who resist him, and empower with wealth those who
accept and support him. The rich elite of mankind so created
would then be used as clients and surrogates to exploit and
enslave the poor masses and rule over them on behalf of the
false Messiah.

THE GRAND DESIGN AND THE JEWISH/CHRISTIAN
ALLIANCE

The Qur’ān has strictly prohibited Muslims from entering
into friendly relations or an alliance with such Jews and
Christians who themselves reconcile and establish Judeo-
Christian friendship and alliance. It did so in the following
momentous verse of Sūrah al-Māidah:

“Oh you who believe (in Allah Most High) do not take (such) Jews
and Christians as your friends and allies who themselves are friends
and allies of each other. And whoever from amongst you turns to
them with friendship and alliance belongs to them. Surely Allah will
not guide a people who commit such (an act of) Dhulm (evil,
wickedness).”

We live in precisely such a world in which a Judeo-
Christian alliance has emerged for the very first time in history.
It is that alliance which has created modern western civilization,
and which now rules the world through the United Nations
Organization, etc. It has created a monetary and economic
system through which it has already succeeded in unjustly
enriching itself at the expense of the rest of the world. It is that
Jewish-Christian alliance which established the International
Monetary Fund. The reader must now question whether the
Qur’anic verse quoted above has prohibited Muslim
membership in international organization created and controlled
by that Jewish-Christian alliance. The answer should be
obvious.

A rich elite now rules over the poor masses of mankind,
and the rich nations now rule over the rest of the world. In
addition, the wealthy ruling elite around the world now
constitute one Jamā’ah, and the stage is now set for the
appearance of their one Amīr, who would rule the world from
Jerusalem and would be the false Messiah.

Those who cannot recognize Dajjāl the false Messiah as
the mastermind behind the present world-order, now rule
almost the entire Muslim world. They consequently defy the
Qur’anic prohibition while establishing and maintaining
friendly ties and even alliance with that Judeo-Christian
alliance. So long as such people continue to rule over Muslims,
the Ummah of Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) would
continue to remain imprisoned in miserable poverty and
incapable of resisting those who wage war on Islam on behalf
of the State of Israel.

We now describe one of the processes of Riba through
which Dajjāl empowers with wealth those who support him,
and enslaves with poverty those who oppose him. What he did
was to establish an international monetary system that corrupted
money in such a way that it could be manipulated and made to
function as a vehicle of legalized theft, gigantic fraud, and
economic oppression. One of the very visible forms of such is
the exploitation of labor through slave wages. Around the
world of the so-called free market economy today, governments
have found it necessary to impose minimum wage legislation in
order to prevent bloody rebellion by those imprisoned in slave
wages.

The reader can easily recognize the very heart of the
process of legalized theft in the international monetary system
that the Judeo-Christian alliance has created by focusing
attention on an event that occurred in April 1933. The US
Government enacted legislation at that time prohibiting
American residents from keeping gold coins, bullion or gold
certificates in their possession. Gold coins were demonetized,
and were no longer permitted as legal tender. They could not be
used as money. If anyone was caught with such gold after a

certain date, he could be fined $10,000 and/or be imprisoned for
six months. In exchange for the gold coins and bullion, the
Federal Reserve Bank, which is a private bank, offered paper
currency (i.e., US dollars) with an assigned numerical value of
$20 for every one ounce of gold.

Most Americans rushed to exchange their gold for paper
currency, but those who were aware of the rip off that was
about to take place bought gold with their paper currency and
then shipped the gold away to Swiss banks.
It is significant that the British government also
demonetized gold coins in the same year as the US. They did so
through the simple expedient of suspending the redeemability
of the sterling paper pound into gold.

After all the gold in USA had been exchanged for paper
currency, the US Government then proceeded in January 1934
to arbitrarily devalue the US paper dollar by 41% and to then
rescind the law of prohibition concerning gold that was
previously enacted. The American people rushed back to
exchange their paper currency for gold at the new exchange
value of $35 per ounce of gold. In the process, they were
robbed of 41% of their wealth. The reader can now easily
recognize the legalized theft that takes place when paper
currency is devalued.

The Qur’ān has specifically prohibited, hence declared
Harām, such a robbery of people’s wealth. It has done so, for
example, in these verses of Sūrah al-Nisā and Sūrah Hūd:

“O ye who believe! Do not appropriate each others property and
wealth in a manner that is unjust and unfair: Rather, let business be
transacted in a manner that brings mutual satisfaction . . . .!”

"And O my people! give just measure and weight, and do not deprive
people of what is rightfully theirs by diminishing the value of their
things (such as value of labor, merchandise, property, etc.) and do not
commit evil in the land with intent to corrupt and destroy.”

And Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) has
declared such transactions which are based on deception, and
which yield a profit or gain to which one is not justly entitled
(i.e., acts of ‘ripping off’), to be Ribā.

The Federal Reserve Bank appeared in the above incident
to have initiated a ‘trial run’ to test domestically the new
monetary system through which a massive and unjust transfer
of wealth throughout the unsuspecting world could be achieved.
That transfer would take place through the simple device of
creating money out of worthless paper and then forcing paper
currency upon all of mankind. Those who control the monetary
system would then target certain currencies and force them to
be continuously devalued. As such paper currencies lost value
the unsuspecting masses would suffer massive loss of wealth,
however, their ‘loss’ would result in ‘gain’ for others.
Less than two years earlier, in September 1931, the British
pound was devalued by 30% and this gradually increased to
40% by 1934. France then followed with a devaluation of the
French Franc by 30%, the Italian Lira was devalued by 41%,
and the Swiss Franc by 30%. The same thing subsequently
happened in most European countries. Only Greece went
beyond the rest of Europe to devalue its currency by a
whopping 59%.

What appeared to be "beggar thy neighbor" policies of
1930s — using currency devaluations to increase the
competitiveness of a country's export products in order to
reduce balance of payments deficits — resulted in plummeting
national incomes, shrinking demand, mass unemployment, and
an overall decline in world trade that came to be known as the
Great Depression. However, it prepared the way for the
imposition of an international monetary system that ostensibly
sought to bring order and prevent chaos in the world of money
and trade. In other words, the Great Depression was artificially
contrived in order to justify the imposition of an international
monetary system that would bring order to a chaotic world of
money.

This unusual and highly suspicious collaboration amongst
European countries in the almost simultaneous and utterly
fraudulent devaluation of their currencies should have
awakened Muslims to the grave dangers posed by the European
Judeo-Christian monetary system of paper currencies.
The Judeo-Christian alliance went on to establish a ‘paper
currency’ international monetary system at Bretton Woods.
They used the link between the US dollar and gold in the
Bretton Woods Agreement as a fig leaf to hide the fact that
paper could now be printed and used as money without any
requirement that it be redeemable in the market in real money,
i.e., money with intrinsic value. The Bretton Woods Agreement
paved the way for the International Monetary Fund to be
established in 1944 with the explicit function of maintaining an
international monetary system of precisely such nonredeemable
paper currencies. By 1971 even the fig leaf
disappeared when USA reneged on its treaty obligation under
international law to redeem US dollars for gold.
It is amazing, really, that there was no significant Islamic
intellectual response to warn and mobilise Muslims to oppose
the new fraudulent monetary system. If scholars of Islam were
blinded by the fig leaf that was the US dollar, and could not see
the fraudulent nature of the monetary system, there has been no
fig leaf since 1971 that could cover the shame of legalised theft.
Yet the world of Islamic scholarship still failed to see that
modern paper money was Harām. Consequently, the entire
Muslim world blindly followed the Judeo-Christian alliance
into the proverbial monetary lizard’s hole.
As the European Judeo-Christian alliance decolonised the
rest of the colonised world they ensured that the decolonised
non-European world was absorbed into the new monetary
system through membership in the International Monetary
Fund.
The Articles of Agreement of the IMF prohibited the use
of gold as money.

It did so by prohibiting any link between
gold and paper currencies other than the US dollar. Art. 4
Section 2(b) of the Articles of Agreement stated: “exchange
arrangements may include (i) the maintenance by a member of
a value for its currency in terms of the special drawing right or
another denominator, other than gold, selected by the member,
or (ii) cooperative arrangements by which members maintain
the value of their currencies in relation to the value of the
currency or currencies of other members, or (iii) other exchange
arrangements of a member's choice.”
In April 2002, US Congressman Ron Paul sent the
following letter to both the US Treasury Department and the
Federal Reserve Bank (which, incidentally, is a privately owned
bank) asking why the IMF prohibits gold-backed currencies for
its member states:

Dear Sirs:
I am writing regarding Article 4, Section 2b of the
International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s Articles of Agreement. As
you may be aware, this language prohibits countries who are
members of the IMF from linking their currency to gold. Thus,
the IMF is forbidding countries suffering from an erratic
monetary policy from adopting the most effective means of
stabilizing their currency. This policy could delay a country's
recovery from an economic crisis and retard economic growth,
thus furthering economic and political instability.
I would greatly appreciate an explanation from both the
Treasury and the Federal Reserve of the reasons the United
States has continued to acquiesce in this misguided policy.
Please contact Mr. Norman Singleton, my legislative director, if
you require any further information regarding this request.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Ron Paul
U.S. House of Representatives

It is significant that neither the Federal Reserve Bank nor
the US Treasury Department has so far responded to this
request for an explanation. The reason why they have not
responded is that there is no explanation other than the fact that
the monetary system established through the IMF was designed
to rip off mankind and eventually impose financial slavery on
all those people who are targeted by the Jewish-Christian
alliance which now rules the world.

The IMF was used to establish a new international
monetary system with new and strange monetary terminology,
and Muslims found themselves confronted by terms they had
never before experienced. There was a world of a difference
between ‘local (paper) currency’, which was accepted as a
medium of exchange in the country in which it was issued, and
‘foreign exchange’ paper currency that was the medium of
exchange for trade outside of that country. Therefore, if
Muslims in Malaysia wanted to sell goods to Muslims in
neighbouring Indonesia, the Indonesians had to find foreign
exchange to pay for their purchases. However, such foreign
exchange was, for all practical purposes, limited to either
European paper currencies or to the US dollar. Thus, the trap
was set for demand for such European currencies as the US
dollar that then became known as ‘hard’ currency. So long as
the Judeo-Christian alliance could maintain demand for their
paper currencies all that they had to do was to keep on printing
such money and, in the process, keep on creating wealth out of
nothing.

The evil plan behind the whole system was also to get
Western currencies, as well as those of their surrogates, to
constantly increase in value in relation to other currencies. That
was achieved through the simple device of either coaxing or
forcing devaluation of targeted currencies. As such currencies
were devalued, it resulted in a massive transfer of wealth from
the masses to the elite. It also forced labour into working for
slave wages, and it imprisoned those who took hard currency
loans from an ever-willing IMF and from European commercial
banks and now found themselves in ever-increasing difficulty to
repay those loans with interest. In fact, the entire monetary
system with its IMF centrepiece was specifically designed to
achieve such results. Targeted countries were trapped with huge
loans, were continuously drained of their wealth, and were
impoverished as they struggled to repay loans with money that
constantly lost value. It did not happen by accident.
Finally, and most glaring of all, the new international
monetary system of paper money facilitated the banking
system, through fractional reserve banking, to lend on interest
money it did not possess. That, also, was legalised fraud. I
suspect that the Muftis of Islam neither understand what is
meant by fractional reserve banking, nor do they have adequate
knowledge of the history of international monetary economics

briefly described in this essay. When electronic money totally
replaces paper currency, and the unjust monetary system
perfects itself, I fear that the Muftis would declare ‘electronic
money’ as well to be Halāl.

The IMF was created with a specific purpose of preventing
currency exchange restrictions that would hinder the constant
devaluation of targeted currencies. Thus the Articles of
Agreement declared that the IMF would “assist in the . . .
elimination of foreign exchange restrictions which hamper the growth
of world trade.” The elimination of foreign exchange restrictions
would then expose a targeted currency to financial attacks that
would create opportunities for windfall profits as the currencies
lost value.

The international monetary system that emerged out of the
Bretton Woods Conference has already succeeded in
imprisoning the masses of mankind, including nearly the entire
Muslim world, in the prison of permanent poverty and
(sometimes) destitution. However, when paper money is
replaced by electronic money, such would bring in its wake
financial slavery. Muslims must respond in an appropriate way
if they are to ever expect any divine assistance that could
deliver them from financial slavery. What can that response be?
Where should they begin?

"De Poncins' book outlines the role of Jews and Judaism in revolutionary movements. The Jews have always lived "in exile" throughout the world, always at odds in some form or other with their gentile hosts. Their religion is one that is this messianic, materialist, based on the collective salvation of the group in the world rather than on the individual soul in eternity. Judaism is very community-centered and conservative, but at the same time Jews have spread liberalism, notions of "freedom" and "equality" to gentiles. If all the other religions and races of the world are confused and lack their own identity, then the most self-centered, ethnocentric group will dominate and perform the best materially and politically."
