CONTRIBUTION FOR NATURAL RESOURCES OF MINING IN AFGHANISTAN LAND

World Woris being shocked by the events of the Taliban in Afghanistan. After the second world war passed, the Taliban group re-emerged in various headlines in the mass media in various countries. This event is highlighted from various perspectives, one of which is the potential wealth of natural resources in the country which has many high mountains. China and Russia are even tempted and seem not afraid in the existence of the Taliban.

In 2017, a follow-up report by the Government of Afghanistan reported that the wealth generated from the mineral wealth was estimated at US$3 trillion including fossil fuels. Mining wealth in Afghanistan is needed by today's technology, such as lithium for making laptop batteries, smartphones, electric cars. In addition, if lithium is combined with copper, it can be used as raw material for non-fossil technologies such as solar panels and electric vehicles (kompas.com/20/08/21).

That said, the demand for these raw materials is increasing because the production of solar panels, electric cars, smartphones, and laptops continues to increase as well. In fact, copper can also be used as the main raw material in the manufacture of ammunition, especially modern bullet wrappers.

When the pandemic is still ongoing, smartphone users are increasing. Driven by the spirit of Revolution 4.0, where humans and technology go hand in hand for any field, even in the realm of households around the world. By taking advantage of this, the production of smartphones and gadgets is continuously launched and exported to countries that are the target of sales of production products.

It is this opportunity that capitalist countries are looking at to improve the wheels of the economy which had slumped due to the long scourge of the pandemic. Highly industrialized countries are in dire need of Afghanistan's natural resources to restore the economy. is like a "snack" opened on a bus filled with hungry passengers. This proves that Afghanistan is a rich country.

So naturally many other countries, especially big countries want to control the land of Afghanistan. Various cunning methods were used by them to rob Afghanistan's natural resources and the world's focus was diverted from it, such as the issue of terrorism, and the issue of the Taliban curbing women's freedom which was constantly being circulated by various media.

Not only in Afghanistan, almost mostly in Muslim areas that are experiencing conflict are blessed with abundant natural resources. As in the area of ​​Sham, which is rich in petroleum resources, until now it is experiencing conflicts that are ignited by countries that have certain interests.

So sad is the position of Muslims now in the eyes of the world in the grip of the hegemony of the colonial countries. Natural resources in muslim countries are dredged for the benefit of certain parties, who certainly do not think about the welfare of many people, especially Muslims. In Islam, natural resources, especially mining goods are part of public ownership which the state is obliged to manage. Natural resources should not be given to the private sector, individuals, let alone to the colonizers.

Abu Ubaid's statement about minerals is quoted by Sheikh Taqiyuddin an-Nabhani.

"When the Prophet knowing that the mine is (like) flowing water, which water is an object that never runs out, such as springs and drilled water, then he withdraws his gift. This is because of the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah. in matters of field, fire, and water states that all humans are allied in the matter. Therefore he forbids anyone to have it, while others are prevented."

So, the minerals in Afghanistan that are of enormous value are absolutely public property.

the extraordinary side of Islam that regulates natural resource management. Indeed, Islam is not just a spiritual religion, but Islam also has a set of rules that must be applied. Islamic rules regarding mining goods cannot be applied by a group of people, even by countries that do not apply Islam kaffah. Only the Caliphate – a country that implements Islam kaffah – is able to implement these rules and protect natural resources from the evil plans of robbery by the colonial state that only cares about a few parties. The Khilafah will also have military forces ready to protect Muslims from them. The existence of a shield is urgently needed for the Islamic world, especially Afghanistan.
