As a Muslim who's main topic is economics, I studied this alot because it affected the foundations of my faith, even studied why Israel was so rich and Pakistan so poor, and basically every western nation rich, and Muslim nation poor
My final conclusion was that, Islamic law isn't being implemented at all, the whole problem lied on the governments, just written laws and never really implemented, especially Islamic economic laws, that promotes free trade as heck and minimum government control, minimum intervention even if you're starving. For example, in Islam, additional taxes are not allowed except in crisis, especially taxes on trade, so much that the prophet compared anyone who taxes trade with adulterous. And price regulations is strictly prohibited as it's proven in hadith and sunnah. And as you said, feudalism was prohibited in Islam, that was even a boost for us
This is never implemented in muslim countries, they are too authoritarian to accept the rules

Thank you VE, as this actually doesn't make enough sense. These explanations to what many people think to be true
Hotter regions receive more energy from the sun and have more equal day-night times, which are factors that brings prosperity. But forget about this
South africa is poorer than North African nations, despite being cooler, Highlands of Ethiopia, which has similar temperatures as western USA, with a population of +65 million, but is still one of the poorest countries. Russia isn't any better than Australia. Civilizations started in what we consider hot regions.
Plus, cooler countries spend more on heating, thus wasting money, so they aren't actually anh better in spending, perhaps even worse costs
Saying that cooler nations are richer just because they are cool is a hoax.

@Blah888 let's go again, my comment is being deleted, so I'll used wrong and twisted letters in some words. Like "f" means "v", ok 👍
1st, Muslims started to flow outside??? I think this is a language matter, not history
2nd, slafe industry?? Whatever, SLAfE TRADE to be honest with you, was even worse in india, just like how europeans called slaves "serfs", who were practically slafes.
And who said that slafery (we don't use this term Islamically, we use "riq", since we are all slafes of God) is the same everywhere? Slafery in Europe is human ownership often with no rights for slafes but life, slafery in islam is a mandated servitude with high protected rights, including 10 common rules for any slave to be free, other than the owner's permission. This is disregarding the fact that freeing a slafe is one of the most recommended things in islam, it's considered a charity. And even this slafery can happen only in certain ways, like we can't just take any weak person and call him a slafe, you actually have a whole set of rules of war to have rights over him, such as him being a prisoner of war or guilty of its crimes.
And finally, the indian economy didn't fall during mughal times, get your facts right. The indian economy's share of the global gdp started to fall for good.
First, the chinese economic growth was so great, and china reached its peak at the time with 35 percent of world's gdp.
Then, Europe, which was experiencing renaissance, then enlightenment, then industrial revolution, and let's not forget the colonisation of the Americas, which boosted their economies tremendously
And others, such as the Russian Empire, the ottoman empire, the persian empire, Africa's new empires rising, and so on and so forth.
So, the indian economy was doing great under muslim rule until the Europeans came, and the world was growing, which is a good thing. You want other peoples to starve?
