●would result in: Capital drain abroad, which would bring about inflation and its consequences, People withdrawing their assets from the banks leaving the banks, which are important mainstay for the government, with insufficient funds to function. This would in turn result in discontent, which would subsequently undermine the reputation of the government and its economic status.

Justice and Equality Justice is to assign something to its rightful situation, whether in equal ratio or not, and therefore there are a few factors that justice and equality have in common. For example: a tall and large built person would require four yards of fabric for his garment while a small built person would require less than that. Justice is to give each what they require while this is not equality.

Of course equality must be upheld with respect to general issues such as the judicial system, fines, job opportunities, education, health and other similar issues. Injustice and inequality, in their respective domains, are the most severe kind of oppression. Oppression could be to oneself or to others and the latter is of greater severity and worse outcome.

People cannot tolerate injustice and inequality as they see themselves - by their nature and rationale - "equal like the teeth of a comb" and they see that "there is no merit for an Arab over non-Arab, nor for a white over a black except for righteousness", as reported in the traditions. And these two issues are rational before they are doctrinal. In fact the Islamic jurisdiction is based on the nature (of mankind) which itself is based on reason. Allah the Almighty states: "O mankind!

We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full Knowledge and is well-acquainted (with all things)."74 And Imam Ali (A) has been attributed the following poem: The holy Qur'an, the Chambers [^49]: 13.

The people are equal in comparison Their mother is Eve and their father is Adam Therefore the newly established Islamic government must uphold this Islamic and humanitarian principle with power and resolve, and discharge its duty. In this way it will attract the hearts and minds around to its establishment, which results into more security and more stability.
