Islamic Relief International | Information Paper It is well known that debt is one of the root causes of poverty in many poor countries. Less well known is how Islam, a religion with charitable giving, social rights and justice at its core, deals with the issue. Muslim teachings are rarely utilised in the international discourse on ‘unjust’ debt and its consequences, yet studying them reveals many ways that the debt crisis could be tackled and ways in which similar problems could be avoided in the future.

There are 5.5 million out of school children Keeping in view the above argument, there is a need to exercise the right of foreign debt cancellation. For instance, the losses incurred by different sectors of Pakistan's economy as result of US‐led war on terrorism in the last 13 years might go close to $102 bn mark a rough estimate. In return, Pakistan had so far received around $15bn through official channels on account of over $10bn in shape of Coalition Support Fund (CSF) compared to official losses of $68 bn ll fiscal year 2010‐11, so only 14% losses were reimbursed by the US. In the head of military assistance in shape of FMF (Foreign Military Fund), Pakistan received $2.1bn, grants for the economy to the tune of $1.5bn, budgetary support of $1.2bn and debt write‐ off $1.5bn.

Each Pakistani owes Rs. 101,338/- of public debt The average common person of Pakistan has suffered from a crippling national debt for long. The devastating earthquake of 2005, the global financial crisis of 2008 and the horrific floods of 2010, and so‐called war on terror have increased the miseries of people. These internal events such as earthquake and floods have created a dearth of food items, while the external event made the oil prices very expensive. These internal and external events increased inflation a great deal in Pakistan since 2008. The double‐ digit inflation since 2008 has impacted the purchasing power of the common man. This higher inflation normally impacted those people who receive fixed income such as pensioners, contractual workers, disabled, widowers etc., while other segments of npopulation remained insulated since they may demand wages according to the rise in inflation.
