Establishing a society and economy based on Islamic Principles of Justice, Equity and Compassion
Organized by: Policy Research Initiative for Zakat-Based Interest-Free Economy (PRIZE)
Overview
The National Article Writing Competition 2025 is a flagship youth initiative of PRIZE, designed to empower the next generation of thinkers, researchers, and leaders. This competition provides a platform for young minds to critically examine today’s exploitative financial structures and present innovative, Islamic economic alternatives rooted in justice, equity, and sustainability.
PRIZE envisions a future where zakat-based public finance and interest-free banking serve as pillars of a just and prosperous economy. Through this initiative, we invite the nation’s youth to join us in shaping economic thought that safeguards human dignity, eliminates financial crises, and establishes welfare for all.
This is more than just a competition — it is a movement towards building a fair, riba-free economy for Pakistan.
