The Unparrelelled Justice of a Great Caliph

[Khalid Saifullah]

During the reign of Khalifa Umar Ibn AI-Khatab radiyallahu anhu , every Muslim in the community, except for new born babies up to and including the weaning stage, received social security benefits from Baitulmal, the Government treasury.

When Umar noticed that mothers tended to wean their babies too early to get the benefit of social security he cried,

"How many young Muslim souls you have deprived from their food O, Omar!"

So he ordered that every new-born should get the subsidy from birth until 28 weeks.

Subhanallah..

Child benefit and social security benefits are still a thing in the UK.. Although a free healthcare system is a struggle..

Funny really because doctors and nurses are always complaining..

We await the day when subsidised jobs produce the work force again.

..not sure working tax credit is ready yet.
