Abstract
Objectives: It is of great importance to write about economic topics because it highlights the most important aspects of the state’s strength and the rise in the standard of living of its population, which is the economic aspect that is the basis of the state’s strength. The study aims to talk about how this situation was in Egypt during Islamic rule. Methodology: The study relied on talking about two main sources of the resources of the treasury of the Islamic State in Egypt, which are the tribute imposed on heads of state other than Muslims and the tax imposed on the agricultural lands of Muslims and others. We talked about the nature of tolerance between Muslims and Copts, residents of the country in the Umayyad era, and the Copts handing over most of the important positions to benefit from their experiences and organizations while keeping power in the hands of Muslims. Results: The research showed that the jizyah and the tax are the main sources of the resources of the treasury that were imposed on the residents of Egypt in a fair manner. The Arabs saw financial management in the hands of the Copts, residents of Egypt. This is why the financial system in Egypt was characterized by accuracy and taking into account the country’s conditions. The main financial element that concerned the Arabs is the tribute, which was the reason for the conversion of many Copts from the conquered countries to Islam. Conclusion: This topic has gained great importance among Muslims because it revolves around the most important aspects of the state, which is the financial system in Egypt. The Islamic rule and the Arab state was keen to organize its financial resources and achieve an equal financial balance. That was achieved through some things, including: Taxes on land or through gains, and zakat. Despite all this, the Arabs initially left employing these things for an institution whose inhabitants were Copts and non-Muslims. This is what the governors who ruled Egypt did in order to achieve justice and equality among the inhabitants of the conquered countries.
