"[...] the one following the sharì'at has elected to live within the broad moral parameters set down in the Qur'anic commands and according to the guidance within the sunna, the life-pattern of Muhammad, blessings of Allah and peace be upon him. Having accepted the shari'at is the deep cognition that the human creature is limited, is in a body, and thus, like all bodies in the physical world, obeys given laws. There is no compulsion in the life-transaction, thus it cannot be called 'organised religion' - no - it is the self-chosen pattern of life one has adopted in order to deepen knowledge until one reaches one's own source, one's spring of life, to drink of the water of illumination. Shari'at thus implies recognition of biological laws that function at every level of existence. Thus, we observe that the kafirun, those who reject, nevertheless follow their shari'at. Every person sets up a shari'at, improvised yet functional." -- Shaykh Abdalqadir al-Murabit (born Ian Dallas), 'The Hundred Steps'

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim,

Basically, the limit to our freedom is that you can choose your own political party to vote on, ideology to promote, or what is called "organised religion" to join, but, within such false dialectics as left vs right or capitalism vs Marxism[1], the reform they know you will never demand is to give back your natural right to accept the money of your own choice - you may not even doubt their perversion of what the nature of money actually 'is', but always you must accept their 'religion': the improvised 'shari'at' of the monetarism. The shirk (means 'idolatry': assigning power to any thing independent of its Creator, Rabbil 'Alameen) is the belief in the power of what they call 'functional money' (i.e.: 'Fiat currencies' [2]) which has been scientifically rationalised - as they have proven anything can be 'rationalised', even the worst crime - by the faithful economists and is constantly preached by the overtly incompetent political class.

'Functional money' which, according to them, does nót have to exist materially but only has to be real in the indoctrinated belief that is institutionalised and enforced through the 'Law of Legal Tender', declaring it to be the only money that you will pay your taxes in. They have managed to fool you into believing that the numbers printed on the small pieces of paper or that are "not even number itself in the abstract - but digital microelectronic impulse inside computers"[3] that are flashing from one bank account to the other, mainly and effortlessly trying to pay off interest on debt, represent a value, but they do not represent anything except the mocking 'signature' (since all 'it' actually is, is "sign-money"[4]) of the biggest criminals in the history of mankind who create (out of debt) and grow (by adding 'interest') money out of thin air and dare call it 'functional money'.

By its very own mechanism and its further manipulation, the cruel collateral 'function' of this so–called money only has been our mass enslavement, always allowing the usurious madness of the non-livingsystem - that is the capitalism psychosis resulting from the illusory prospect of continuous growth based on empty credit and limited resources - and the rape of this planet and all that is on it, to continue its cancerous expansion, now clearly in its accelerated phase. Everything, except Allah, must come to an end, since all in the physical world obeys given laws, and their system has now reached its hysterical ending. It can not be undone and it can not truly be reformed for this capacity was never within its 'function'. And only Allah knows what will come out of this world in transition and in between two era's, since there is no possibility of a "next phase" of banking capitalism.

Because what Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi has clearly demonstrated recently[5] - but had seen, started to act upon and had gathered men and women around him whom he instructed to do the same, long before it actually happened - is that all of this had started to collapse: the whole system they have succeeded to built around a trick to only serve their own greed and sickness of the heart, but that defy the given laws of nature by declaring something to be of value when it is not, is now collapsing in on itself. Like the scavenging vultures they are, they want to make you, its "once called citizens, now called debtors"[6], 'pay' for their own financial system's collapse, renamed the 'national debt' into 'the deficit' (the amount owing) and announced the time had come for 'Bail-outs'[7]. But their games and tricks are now over and fully exposed. "There is life after banking, as there has only been slaughter in it"[8] and this life is now dawning upon mankind. But this life needs to be 'lived', i.e. the road must be walked to reach the right end-station, and you are now at a T-junction. One road will have as its dead-end the 'solution' of the bankers, a One World Currency, a purely symbolic money for a purely symbolic freedom, while the other one will lead away, out of this monetarism, out of monetary slavery and towards freedom of existence.

Without sound money, any idea of fair trade and equal opportunity amongst people merely is an illusion, a wish-belief, that denies that real (intrinsic) value money already is naturally destined to have a function in itself, that is limited to simply 'being' money and it can nót and will not 'function' as if it were money when the 'thing' called money is not money! This is against the natural order of things, to give a different meaning to a thing. And this given nature, the meaning of being money, used to always be understood to be:

Any commodity which is commonly accepted [freely accepted by people - not enforced upon them] as a means of exchange we call money  -- Imam Malik (the first and most important compiler of Muslim jurisprudence)

Notes:

[1] "Monetarism is Marxism" Umar Vadillo states in 'The End of Economics' (See below) after elaborating on Marx's open defences of a paper or purely symbolic 'money'-system, of which here are some examples (my italics) from 'Das Kapital':

"Money takes the shape of coin because of its function as the circulating medium.[...] In the course of circulation, coins wear down, some to a greater extent, some to a lesser. The denomination of the gold and its substance, the nominal content and the real content, begin to move apart. Coins of the same denomination become different in value, because they are different in weight. The weight of gold fixed upon as the standard of prices diverges from the weight which serves as the circulating medium, and the latter thereby ceases to be a real equivalent of the commodities whose prices it realizes.[...]The fact that the circulation of money itself splits the nominal content of coins away from their real content, dividing their metallic existence from their functional existence, this fact implies the latent possibility of replacing metallic money with tokens made of some other material, i.e. symbols which would perform the function of coins.[...] The metallic content of silver and copper tokens is arbitrarily determined by law. In the course of circulation they wear down even more rapidly than gold coins. Their function as coins is therefore in practice entirely independent of their weight, i.e., it is independent of all value. In its form of existence as coin, gold becomes completely divorced from the substance of its value. Relatively valueless objects, therefore, such as paper notes, can serve as coins in place of gold. This purely symbolic character of the currency is still somewhat disguised in the case of metal tokens. In paper money it stands out plainly. [...] in a process which made it constantly change hands, it was enough that the money existed symbolically. The functional existence absorbed, so to speak, its material existence. It is nothing more than an objective reflection of the prices of commodities, a reflection destined to disappear, serving as a mere function, as a sign of itself, it is natural that it could be substituted for other signs." (Marx, Das Kapital, Ch.3, mostly 2nd section)

[2] This of course includes all the so-called 'complementary community currencies': "It was a magic and the magic has been exposed: it is over."[3]
