The document provides guidelines for establishing a Muslim village project. Key points include: 1) The village will be financed through members purchasing shares that provide land and housing. Profits will be reinvested in development and distributed equally. 2) The village aims to be self-sufficient through agriculture, manufacturing, and assets. All basic services will be free for members. 3) Members will work for the benefit of the community according to their skills. The goal is to achieve excellence in worship and social interactions according to Islamic principles. 4) The village will be led by a single leader and council following Quran/Sunnah and promoting unity over political parties. Disputes will be resolved by a

1. Initial Study of the Muslim Village Project

10. The first stage is obviously the most difficult,
but it carries the greatest reward God willing
For best results and Allah’s protection we must
spend and be on one man’s heart.

11. Allah's Messenger, Muhammad (pbuh) said:
Bukhari and Muslim

13. Every supportive member and his immediate
family are expected to provide one financial share.
These funds are used to buy land, plant
trees, build homes and projects.
A supportive individual cannot under any
circumstances own more than one share.
Any person who wants to quit has the right to sell
his share with the community’s approval of the
new buyer

14. The village financial committee may provide
housing and work opportunity for a new incapable
member in addition to delaying the collection of part
of his monetary share value for a certain number of
years, provided this member is highly active and is a
contributing member to society. A contract will be
signed for this regard.
Each share entitles the benefactor 300m2 of land
within the village and if it is possible to try to help
with the house building.

15. The village could accept an interest free
loan from individual members (Provided that
the village is in a dire need, and if it is in the
position of being able of repaying this debt).
This loan is to be repaid according to a
limited time contract.
Share value is at 200 g of gold.

16. 
The Village’s income will come from 2
branches:
 Agriculture/manufacturing/Animals
 Assets (selling new shares)

The revenue from shares selling represent the
sole revenue for the village in the initiation
period. This revenue will be directed to cover
the expenses of village development.

17. Once the village is established wealth will be distributed
in the following manner:
A percentage is taken to pay for village expenses and
for Muslims’ finance house.
Production revenue will be distributed equally among
the actively working members.
Profits from the share selling will be distributed
equally among all members regardless of their active
participation working in the field

18. Public and private ownership
There are two kinds of ownership:
Private ownership: The house/land
surrounding it given to the person by the
village.
Public ownership: All agricultural lands,
mosque, schools, market and other
projects.

19. 
All Village services are free of charge, that
includes:
 Water
 Sanitation
 School
 Market stall use
 Community centre

20. 


All Villagers work for the village.
Educational and talent background is considered
and therefore every villager is allocated a
suitable job that benefits the community the
most. (Agriculture, manufacturing, teaching,
trade, etc or a combination)
A villager can opt out of this system but will not
receive the benefits and has to pay for services
(highly not recommended as we are one body
and should be cohesive).

21. 
Ihsan (is an Arabic term meaning "perfection" or
"excellence." In Islam, Ihsan is the Muslim
responsibility to obtain perfection, or excellence,
in worship, such that Muslims try to worship God
as if they see Him, and although they cannot see
Him, they undoubtedly believe he is constantly
watching over them. That definition comes from
the hadith (Hadith of Gabriel) in which
Muhammad states,
(Al-Bukhari and AlMuslim).

22. 


Ihsan is one of the Three Principles of the
Islamic faith (Islam, Iman and Ihsan) and
means "to do beautiful things".
One who "does what is beautiful" is labelled
muhsin. It is generally held that a person can
only achieve true ihsan with the help and
guidance of Allah, who governs all things.
Ihsan is excellence in worship, work, and in
social interactions.

23. Therefore this should be the motivation of the
Village’s citizens, and if they do not reach this level
then it is social responsibility/a pressure/a penalty.
 This system brings everyone to his/her potential and
brings out the best in everyone.



24. The Village has a public market
 Everything sold in the market is organic
with no artificial additives.
 Everyone in the Village has the right to
use the market stalls free of charge.
 Prices in the market would be carefully
monitored to ensure a fair economy.


26. All Muslims must abide to the general Quran
and Sunna guidelines.
Neighbours should care about each other, and
the rich is equal to the poor. There is no
differentiation except on God fearing.
There will be a Judge to rule on internal
disputes, and a Shoura (Consultative)council.
The Judge ruling is enforced by the community
and the leader (see political system).

27.  Anyone who breaks the rules after all ways
of reason are exhausted, or any one who
tries to incite sectarian upheavals is
immediately expelled from the village.


28. All houses should be built within walking
distance of the mosque.
Preferably only one mosque should exist to
promote unity.
There should be an Islamic studies institution
to produce proper Islamic Scholars.
All Muslims contribute time and effort to a
security force protecting from outside threats.
(Note: Siwa is a very safe town this point is in
concept)

30. The Village will have a leader, to give uphold Islam and give it
its strategic visions. With him is the Shoura council of scholars
and wise ones and the executive staff.
People in the Village are one unit, under one leader. There are
no political parties.
The leader must be God fearing, with his first concern being
God’s content and then the wellbeing of the community. He
should be wise, visionary, having wide worldly and religious
knowledge (which become one to wise ones).
The leader should be voted in and should not deviate from the
Quran and Sunna.
Everyone must obey the leader.

32. The Village depends on natural resources in
agriculture, construction and energy production
as much as possible.
The Village is simple and economic yet beautiful,
coherent and aesthetic without being lavish.
Allah's Messenger, Muhammad (pbuh) said:

33. The Village promotes useful worldy
education and research, and not to research
things which are useless and are for pure
consumerism (eg. I phone 1,2,3) that makes
one forget remembering God.
The Villager’s goal should be Tazkia (soul
purification) and Ihsan (worship perfection)
with work, worship, social dealings, etc..

34. If these elements come together it will
create a great example to prove the Dajjal
system wrong practically and religiously.
At the same time it protects us from all the
calamities going in in our societies whether
social, physical, economic or religious and
guarantees to the true ones happiness in this
world and heaven in the after life God willing.

35. 

All of the previous points are just guidelines
subject to change according to what the
community and its leader sees fit. As long as
it does not contradict the Quran and sunna.
They are meant to shape the vision of our
project.

37. Positives

Expansion is relatively easy
Relatively Cheap land
