It rather expedites hoarding of money and accumulation of wealth from Poor in need to Prosperous with affluence. The lust for money does also make Elders, Physically challenged and Socially backward classes of society [which do not contribute significantly to economic growth of state] vulnerable at hands of Rich, Prosperous and Influential lots.

The Qu’ranic Deen of Islam proclaims Justice as the pivot defining any system – social, economic or political.]]>
