Hazrat Umar Farooq established a land system where conquered territories weren't individually owned, but held in common trust by the Muslim community. Revenue generated from this land was designated for the welfare of Muslims, both contemporary and future generations.

Prior to this, the creation is linked to four specific elements detailed in religious texts. The spirit, or soul, is infused into the embryo after this 120-day period, encompassing and permeating its very being.
