I had the chance to be the accompanying minister (not a minister yet though) with Sir John Major the previous prime minister of Britain. I wanted to enlighten him on Islamic principles of Economy I told him Islamic Economics differs in two ways from Western Concept of Economy. First Islam believes in abundance since Allah has ordained that there will be enough for every creature (وقدّر فيها أقواتها) while the West believes in scarcity and competition.

The second a Muslim believes that Allah is the real owner of everything on this earth and we are only agents or owners by his will so we must abide by his rule.

Third Islam regulates your economic activities by prohibiting usury, exploitation, monopoly, and pornography

when he returned to England, he did not send me any thanking letter which is totally impolite and against proper manners
