Importance of ushr for economy and development of blew poverty line people

In the Islamic economic system, welfare funds have been collected from the rich and delivered to the poor. In this way, the inequality and unequal distribution of wealth can easily root out. This fund is also used as a scholarship for the students living on blew poverty line. These funds are collected in the form of Zakat and Ushr. Ushr is basically a land tax.

Ushr rate is 10% on the output of naturally irrigated land and 5% on artificially irrigated land. The governments of Islamic countries are not much active in the collection of this obligation levied on land and the landowners have also had no interest to pay ushr. So these are hurdles for the collection of ushr.

Those economies of the world which have faced the problem of misallocation of funds and unequal distribution of money have many chances to collapse their economic structure one day. So the basic purpose of ushr is to help the lower-income people of the society to meet their daily needs As it says that a man makes a society. If the common man has financial happiness then he can contribute a lot to the prosperity of his country.

So this is a very essential tool to avoid the poverty line by providing basic needs to people like food, health, transport, clothing, education and housing.
