Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Imam Al-hasan Al-askari The age of the imam The study of the age that Imam Abu Muhammad (a.s.) lived in is no longer a kind of luxury or decoration to the book, but it is a necessity that the modern scientific research requires.

Studying an age has become from the methodical studies that a researcher cannot leave aside, because it reveals the reality of the general life which that certain person lives, and also it sheds lights on the events that takes place during that age which naturally have a great influence on the behavior of that person. Sociologists say that the social life affects and is affected.

Anyhow, we objectively shall offer several sides of the general life of the age that Imam Abu Muhammad (a.s.) lived in. The Economical Life Before we shed lights on the economical life of the age of Imam Abu Muhammad (a.s.), we would like to show that Islam has paid extreme attention to the developing of the economy of the nation, the growing of the individual income, and the prosperity of the general life. Islam has considered poverty as a destroying disaster which must be removed by all means.

Islam has compared between disbelief and poverty, and as disbelief must be removed due to the Islamic Sharia, poverty must be removed from society as well. Islam has ordered Muslim rulers and leaders to spare no effort in order to save Muslims from the dangers of poverty and wretchedness which are the reasons behind the intellectual and moral deviation among people.

From the creative methods that the Islamic economy is based on is that the Sharia has limited the authorities of rulers and officials. They are not permitted in any case to play with the treasury of the state, because it is for all Muslims and not for one person. The wealth of Muslims must be spent on Muslims, and neither the ruler no any of his government has the right to extort from the treasury to spend on himself or his kin, for this is treason against Allah and against Muslims.

The Abbasid rule, during all its ages, followed a special economical policy that was odd to the true Islamic system, and it was too far from the laws Islam has legislated to control the wealth of the Islamic state. We shall discuss here in brief the general economical system in the Abbasid age. Incomes Of The State The most income of the state was collected from land taxes and zakat which was about millions of dinars.
