Overview
It is the
duty of the state government to manage and look after
the affairs of the people according to their needs in a
principled manner. It is the duty of individuals and
organizations (such as TFI) to account, pressure and
assist the governments (and stakeholders) to such an
extent that they are able and willing to fulfill the
roles which they have been elected to do.
All
society's problems must be resolved comprehensively so
that all its members can feel that their needs are being
met and they can progress in life. One of the core
social requirements includes fulfilling the basic needs
of the poor and needy on an ongoing basis rather than in
an ad hoc manner through individual donations and
charity work. Furthermore, an environment needs to be
created, developed and managed which will allow all
members of society to co-exist happily together,
irrespective of creed, gender or race. The state
government needs to balance the material, physiological
and spiritual needs of the society through establishment
of mechanisms, institutions and infrastructures which
will allow this to happen on a continuous basis.

the fundamental changes which needs to occur in Muslim
(and other third world) nations is the re-modelling of
the socio-economic infrastructure so that a social
welfare system (shariah compliant) is established for
the benefit of all their citizens.
The vast
majority of Muslim and third world nations do not have
any form of a social welfare system which can provide
basic needs to the poor and needy, or an infrastructure
which will allow hardworking professionals to progress
personally or collectively by utilizing their efforts or
skills. Examples of such countries include many in Asia
(e.g. Pakistan, Bangladesh, India), Africa (Ethiopia,
Sudan, Egypt), South America (Chile, Brazil, Venezuela)
and others.
A
detailed study and analysis of individual nations such
as Pakistan will be outlined, through its Policy
Development Institute, as to how this change can
manifest itself practically, highlighting complex
issues, dilemmas, concerns and a positive way forward.
The
social infrastructures which need evaluating and
