 The panellist of the first-day session concluded,’’ The state of Medina is this materialistic world termed as a philosophical concept, removed from the daily life of the society.  But It manifests itself in all the different aspects of lives. What makes the trader, banker, agriculturist or research and development scientist perform his job to the best of his ability? In capitalist economies, it is the notion of competition. This involves the necessity to constantly produce more new things for profit to keep up with others and this makes for wastage and often generates unbridled greed. But in an economy based on Islamic principles, the idea of man representing God on earth gives businessmen a feeling of co-operating with others for the good of society as a whole, including him. Thus Quranic guidance enables man to conserve and use prudently all the resources of the earth that God has given mankind on the very doctrines of state of Medina.”
