Yet “zakat” is at most a form tax, and more commonly a voluntary act of
charity, not a collectivization of wealth by a central authority.
According to scholars John Thomas Cummings, Hossein Askari and Ahmad
Mustafa (who co-authored the academic paper, “Islam and Modern Economic
Change”) “zakat is primarily a voluntary act of piety and a far cry from
what most modern-day taxpayers experience when confronted with
increased income levies or complicated regulations.” Moreover, they add,
“there is no particular Islamic preference for Marxist emphasis on
economic planning over market forces.”
