Famous for their distributing the wealth to people who need it, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are positively wonderful places for the working class 🙄
I mean those countries aren’t the shining examples of Islam at work so yeah. Gulf countries are like famous for this.
Most are dictatorships so the attitude of the government doesn’t reflect much except how greedy the elites are, but charity is big in Muslim countries. The whole “pull yourself up by your bootstraps and if you rely on others you’re a leech” attitude doesn’t really resonate with Muslims.
That said, if I had to raise an example I’d probably pick Tunisia. Not that they don’t have wealth inequality or poverty, but they’re doing decently well for themselves and have a government that’s actually trying to fix these things.
Also almost all of the non-Gulf Arab world has significant social welfare to my knowledge.

Which countries are shining examples of Islam at work? I’m having a hard time coming up with any that don’t have staggering wealth inequality.
