Zameen Ka Nizam - Land System by Dr Israr Ahmad

Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses a just land management system for Pakistan, proposing that all land is held in trust by the Islamic government, not private ownership. He suggests allocating economic units of 15-20 acres to farmers who would pay a land revenue (kharaj) to the public treasury (Bait-ul-Mal), eliminating intermediaries like landlords. He notes a conflict with the Federal Shariat Court’s rulings and advocates for a commission of legal scholars and land settlement experts to establish a new system. He also addresses the debate around ‘ushri’ lands (lands cultivated in exchange for a portion of the harvest) according to different schools of thought, particularly Hanafi and Maliki, and the permissibility of ‘mudarabat’ (profit-sharing) in this context. He emphasizes the need for both legal and public awareness regarding this complex issue.
