We have been taught since we were children that there is a unique Islamic economic system. But history teaches that Muslims basically took over and refined the entire taxation and administrative system of the Roman Byzantines and the Persian Sassanids. Aside from Zakat, no new tax was introduced. Only the names of the land tax, poll tax, and tithe were changed and their burden was refined. Islam did not introduce any new economic system or new mode of production.
