Quran 57:16
Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.
کیا اب تک ایمان والوں کے لیے وقت نہیں آیا کہ ان کے دل ذکر الٰہی سے اور جو حق اتر چکا ہے اس سے نرم ہو جائیں اور ان کی طرح نہ ہو جائیں جنہیں ان سے پہلے کتاب دی گئی تھی پھر جب ان پر ایک زمانہ دراز گزر گیا تو ان کے دل سخت ہو گئے اور ان میں بہت سے فاسق ہیں


Quran on interest 2:275-279

  • Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah.
  • But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
  • Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allah does not like every sinning disbeliever.
  • Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish prayer and give zakah will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve
  • O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers.
  • And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allah and His Messenger. But if you repent, you may have your principal - [thus] you do no wrong, nor are you wronged.

Hadith on Interest

From Jabir : The Prophet, said, may cursed the receiver and the payer of interest, the one who records it and the two witnesses to the transaction and said: "They are all alike [in guilt]."
(Muslim, Kitab al-Musaqat, Bab la'ni akili al-riba wa mu'kilihi; also in Tirmidhi and Musnad Ahmad)
From Abu Hurayrah : The Prophet, , said: "Riba has seventy segments, the least serious being equivalent to a man committing adultery with his own mother."
(Ibn Majah)


Pakistan to pay Rs1,620 billion in interest payments in 2018-19


ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will pay Rs1,620 billion in interest payments for the next fiscal year 2018-19 against the estimates of borrowing loans from external and internal sources.

Documents show that Pakistan will pay Rs1,391 billion as interest to domestic banks and Rs229 billion to foreign institutions in 2018-19.

The government has paid Rs1,526 billion as the interest payment to both domestic and foreign lenders during the ongoing year 2017-18. An amount of Rs1,332 billion paid in servicing of domestic and Rs194 billion of foreign debt.

In addition to this, Pakistan has to repay an amount of Rs21,905 billion to domestic and foreign lenders in the upcoming year.


The country will repay Rs21,129 billion to those domestic banks and other institutions from which the government took loans in previous years. Meanwhile, an amount of Rs601 billion will repay to foreign lenders including countries and institutions.

Furthermore, the finance ministry will repay Rs174 billion on short-term foreign credits in the next fiscal year.

The government had paid Rs23,448 in the ongoing fiscal year as a huge amount of Rs22,928 billion paid to domestic sources, Rs428 billion to foreign countries as well as institutions like ADB, WB, etc and an amount of Rs93 billion under the head of short-term foreign credits.

Documents indicate that the government has estimated to borrow an amount of $11.6 billion from external sources such as from bilateral, multilateral, euro bond and commercial banks in the next fiscal year 2018-19.

“Total inflows of external financing are expected to be $11.6 billion during 2018-19 with project loans of $4.8 billion and programmer loans of $1.8 billion” document stated.

The government will borrow $3.1 billion from countries like Germany, China, Japan, America, Saudi Arabia and others and $3.5 billion from multilateral sources. The government is estimated to collect $3 billion from raising bonds and $2 billion from commercial banks.

While addressing a post-budget press conference on Saturday, the newly-appointed finance minister Dr Miftah Ismail informed that Pakistan has secured financing of $1 billion but he did not disclose the name of the country.

Pakistani reserves have decreased to $10,917 million during the week ending April 20, 2018. Pakistan’s economy has come under pressure with external account worries remaining the focus of economic managers which is why the government was lobbying for more loans from a friendly country in order to cover the three-month import bill.

We have to pay interest on foreign debts because of International bindings but can we cancel interest on domestic loans?

Islam on Inflation
Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) said, "A time is certainly coming over mankind in which there will be nothing
which will be of use save a dinar and a dirham."
(The Musnad of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal)

For how long we should tolerate our savings becoming dust? Who gives authority to state bank to print limitless money? Is there should be any limit? Why we can't based our currency on gold and silver?

Qisas and punishing for creating fasad fil ard
Quran 2:178-179
  • O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered - the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But whoever overlooks from his brother anything, then there should be a suitable follow-up and payment to him with good conduct. This is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment.
  • And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life, O you [people] of understanding, that you may become righteous
[عقلمندو! قصاص میں تمہارے لئے زندگی ہے[اس باعﺚ تم (قتل ناحق سے) رکو گے

Quran 5:45
  • And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
Quran 5:33
  • Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,

For any economic activity we need money, skilled labor, technology and one of the most important ingredient PEACE, if we don't have peace everything else is meaning less. When Allah say IN Qisas there life so why its not corner stone of our judicial system?

We hear about terrorism but how many terrorist are executed?
We hear about corruption but how many people get fired from their job and their property confiscated?
As the responsibilities and pay varies with pay scale, should punishment for corruption varies with it too? What should be punishment for someone in let say BPS 9 and 19?
Will there be punishment for incompetency, wrong decisions taken intentionally or unintentionally?
Why organized crime don't fall under Fasad fil ARD and if it falls then why to date nobody is punishment?
 
Quaid-i-Azam's Speech
On the occasion of the Opening Ceremony of
The State Bank of Pakistan on 1st July, 1948.

"Mr. Governor, Directors of State Bank, Ladies and Gentlemen.

The opening of the State Bank of Pakistan symbolises the sovereignty of our State in the financial sphere and I am very glad to be here today to perform the opening ceremony. It was not considered feasible to start a Bank of our own simultaneously with the coming into being of Pakistan in August last year. A good deal of preparatory work must precede the inauguration of an institution responsible for such technical and delicate work as note issue and banking. To allow for this preparation, it was provided, under the Pakistan Monetary System and Reserve Bank Order, 1947, that the Reserve Bank of India should continue to be the currency and banking authority of Pakistan till the 30th September, 1948. Later on it was felt that it would be in the best interests of our State if the Reserve Bank of India were relieved of its functions in Pakistan, as early as possible. The State of transfer of these functions to a Pakistan agency was consequently advanced by three months in agreement with the Government of India and the Reserve Bank. It was at the same time decided to establish a Central Bank of Pakistan in preference to any other agency for managing our currency and banking. This decision left very little time for the small band of trained personnel in this field in Pakistan to complete the preliminaries and they have by their untiring effort and hard work completed their task by the due date which is very creditable to them, and I wish to record a note of our appreciation of their labours.

As you have observed, Mr. Governor in undivided India banking was kept a close preserve of non-Muslims and their migration from Western Pakistan has caused a good deal of dislocation in the economic life of our young State. In order that the wheels of commerce and industry should run smoothly, it is imperative that the vacuum caused by the exodus of non-Muslims should be filled without delay. I am glad to note that schemes for training Pakistan nationals in banking are in hand. I will watch their progress with interest and I am confident that the State Bank will receive the co-operation of all concerned including the banks and Universities in pushing them forward. Banking will provide a new and wide field in which the genius of our young men can find full play. I am sure that they will come forward in large numbers to take advantage of the training facilities which are proposed to be provided. While doing so, they will not only be benefiting themselves but also contributing to the well-being of our State.

I need hardly dilate on the important role that the State Bank will have to play in regulating the economic life of our country. The monetary policy of the bank will have a direct bearing on our trade and commerce, both inside Pakistan as well as with the outside world and it is only to be desired that your policy should encourage maximum production and a free flow of trade. The monetary policy pursued during the war years contributed, in no small measure, to our present day economic problems. The abnormal rise in the cost of living has hit the poorer sections of society including those with fixed incomes very hard indeed and is responsible to a great extent for the prevailing unrest in the country. The policy of the Pakistan Government is to stabilise prices at a level that would be fair to the producer, as well as the consumer. I hope your efforts will be directed in the same direction in order to tackle this crucial problem with success.

I shall watch with keenness the work of your Research Organization in evolving banking practices compatible with Islamic ideas of social and economic life. The economic system of the West has created almost insoluble problems for humanity and to many of us it appears that only a miracle can save it from disaster that is not facing the world. It has failed to do justice between man and man and to eradicate friction from the international field. On the contrary, it was largely responsible for the two world wars in the last half century. The Western world, in spite of its advantages, of mechanization and industrial efficiency is today in a worse mess than ever before in history. The adoption of Western economic theory and practice will not help us in achieving our goal of creating a happy and contended people. We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save it and secure the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind.

May the Sate Bank of Pakistan prosper and fulfil the high ideals which have been set as its goal.

In the end I thank you, Mr. Governor, for the warm welcome given to me by you and your colleagues, and the distinguished guests who have graced this occasion as a mark of their good wishes and the honour your have done me in inviting me to perform this historic opening ceremony of the State Bank which I feel will develop into one of our greatest national institutions and play its part fully throughout the world."

To think this is current PMs obsession, no reforms in that direction have been touted.

Its just political rhetoric to fool the masses.
 
Back then there were no taxes except annual zakat at 2.5% of wealth. OTOH IK is begging people to pay income taxes and threatening them with dire consequences if they don't.
