New World Financial Order: Liberation Game Plan
The global secular economy, an immense structure estimated at over US$100 Trillion, rests upon a deeply corrosive and unjust foundation: Usury (Riba). This is not a sustainable model; it is a system of exploitation.
This immense system is largely controlled by financial behemoths. These giants utilize their unparalleled global investment and banking power to maintain systemic control, perpetuating an economic structure that prioritizes debt and destructive growth over justice and equity.
This webinar explores how we can collectively build a sharia-economic system that ends Dzolim and destructive growth, initiating a new era of true prosperity. The session unpacked the mechanisms(Riba) which the $100 Trillion usury economy controls the world and impacts your daily life, concrete practical frameworks derived from Islamic principles, and strategies to fund liberation.

The Unseen Connections: From Gaza to Global Finance
The relentless bombing of Gaza by the Israeli Zionist army represents more than a regional conflict; it is the brutal face of a global system. With over 40,000 Palestinians killed and 100,000 more injured or missing by October 2024, this genocide is financed and enabled by powerful economic forces operating from behind the scenes.
At the heart of this system stands JP Morgan & Chase, the world’s largest bank by market capitalization. As a global leader in financial services across 100+ countries, it epitomizes the usury pandemic that fuels the modern empire. It is not alone. The true power lies with the investment giants and the individuals who control the flow of capital.
Among them is Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, a staunch supporter of Israel and its military campaign. His company manages vast sums of private funds, sovereign wealth, pension plans, and endowments from every corner of the globe. These funds are strategically invested in companies tied to Israel’s arms industry and broader geopolitical objectives.
Larry Fink is one among hundreds of Jewish Zionists who, through investment banks and asset management conglomerates, exert unprecedented control over the global economy. They have built a financial matrix so powerful that PwC anticipates Global Assets Under Management (AUM) will reach a staggering US $145.4 trillion by 2025, up from US $84.9 trillion in 2016.
The Game Plan: How the System Works
They amass capital by becoming the custodians of the world’s wealth. They manage Institutional Funds: Sovereign Wealth Funds, Public and Private Pension Funds, University and Non-Profit Endowments. They also manage Private Capital: Family offices of conglomerates and the savings of retail investors.
Their perceived trustworthiness and performance make them the default choice for institutions globally, including those in Muslim-majority nations, thereby looping the wealth of the ummah back into a system that works against it.The execution of a closed-loop, profound investment strategy. The process—Fund Raising → Investment → Portfolio Management → Liquidation—is executed with precision, creating self-reinforcing market cycles. Through complex cross-holdings in competing corporations across sectors, they create a cartel. They own the entire chessboard, fostering an illusion of market choice while controlling outcomes from behind the scenes. Profits are guaranteed, regardless of which “public” company wins.
The astronomical profits are then used to buy political influence and shape global policy. The primary vehicle for this in the United States is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). AIPAC mobilizes over 5 million pro-Israel Americans and pours millions of dollars into political campaigns. This financial leverage buys votes in Congress, ensuring unwavering support for the Zionist agenda.
Leveraged Slavery: The Global Economy and the Erosion of Islamic Principles
The global economy, estimated at over USD 100 Trillion by 2023, is founded on a paradigm of “growth at all cost.” This relentless pursuit of expansion is increasingly implicated as the root cause of systemic destruction, from climate change to entrenched poverty. This system, when viewed through a financial lens, resembles a staggering state of over-leverage: a global human equivalent whose annual income is $100,000 but whose debt stands at $300,000 (3x).
The five practices that violate Sharia Law and fuel the current global economic cycle are Quantitative Easing and Foreign Financial Debt which utilize Riba (interest) by creating money out of thin air; Government Budget Lobby and Corruption leading to Riswah (bribery) through non-productive, often military, contracts; Project Financing which relies on interest-bearing credit facilities from banks, embedding Riba into commerce; the resulting influx of “Hot Money” which fuels Hedonism and expenditure on Haram (forbidden) luxuries; and finally, Taxation, which is considered Dzolim (injustice) as it is used to pay government interest and support corrupted projects.
The consequence of this secular economic dominance is most acutely felt within the Muslim community. The majority of Muslim students today are primarily educated within a framework steeped in secular values. Muamalah Fiqh remains largely unfamiliar or a peripheral topic in many academic institutions. Devoted Muslim entrepreneurs who genuinely strive to build their businesses according to Muamalah principles find it significantly harder to grow compared to their secular counterparts.
Liberation Game Plan: The Muslim Fund and Education to Counter Secular Economy
The “Liberation Game Plan” draws foundational inspiration from the successful, state-linked investment vehicle, Temasek Holdings, which has quietly positioned Singapore as a major global economic force. Managing an impressive portfolio valued at over USD 250 Billion.
The Muslim Fund should operate through a disciplined, three-layered structure: the Global Capital Layer serves as the primary funding source, pooling strategic allocations from sovereign or state funds of wealthy Muslim nations, directing capital toward emerging Muslim economies. This capital then flows to the Fund Management Layer, which employs Local Fund Managers possessing solid professional experience to execute investments on the ground, ensuring culturally sensitive and superior portfolio management. Finally the capital reaches the Recipient/Entrepreneur Layer, the impact hub, where Local Entrepreneurs receive critical support and investment, enabling them to significantly grow their businesses in order to effectively compete against established secular global economic players.
The second major strategic pillar is the development of a comprehensive, globally accessible educational platform focused on Islamic economic principles, known as Muamalah. Islamic scholars will prepare structured Muamalah content and curriculum, benchmarking the systematic quality of platforms like Coursera. Crucially, this high-quality content will be pushed globally and made available for free. To achieve mass adoption and decentralized community building, the initiative encourages Muslims worldwide to create local chapters and conferences to apply and expand upon the free curriculum, mirroring the grassroots intellectual engagement of TED Talks.
