The quantitative Estimate of Spoils of war During The Age of the Rashidin (Upright) Caliphs, and Some of Its Consequences

In the thirty years, following the prophet's demise until the end of Ali's rule, the Muslims gained through their conquests, a great amount of spoils, both in cash and other wise. The rise in the volume of cash in Medina could, in the short term, seriously affect the general price index in the city; nevertheless, because of the prevalence of trade in the form of barter, the free flow of trade between Arabia and other regions, the melting of dirhams and dinars and their transformation into bullions and orramental objects, and the allocation of a part of it to finance the military campaigns outside Medina; it does not see likely for that in crease in the cash volume to have had much influence on the general price hikes in the long term.
Another economic fallout of the war booty was an increase in production and prosperity in Medina and its outskirts. The purpose of this article is to make a quantitative estimate of the spoils of war in the age of the Upright Caliphs and to briefly point out some of its consequences for the Muslim community in the Concluding paragraphs.
