Muslim Woman

In accordance with the Holy Quran, all land is a gift of Allah Almighty, just as are air and sunshine, and should not be owned by any individual any more than air and sunshine should; it ought merely to be made available to everybody in accordance with his needs. Your must understand that Islam is concerned not only with the future bliss of the believers, but also with their present earthly requirements. In accordance with the Holy Koran, it is the responsibility of the state to see that every citizen has all his basic needs: food, clothing, shelter, medicines, and education. Yes: the responsibility of the state! That is a tremendous task, and can be realized only if all the means of production are owned by the state

Certainly a good many things demanded by the Holy Koran resemble the ideals of Communism. But the really essential thing—the ultimate aim—is fundamentally different. For if our state provides for each citizen all his basic needs, then this is not an end in itself: this liberation from hardship is designed to give him, his whole personality. Communism, on the other hand, thinks only of the satisfaction of a man’s physical needs at the expense of human individuality. But it is this fully developed individuality, made possible by the social order of the Quran, that survives death and marches forward to bring all latent possibilities to full fruition.
