Muslim Woman - Islamic concept of Socio Economic Exploitation
Is poverty an essential part of system of life? Is there not a permanent solution to the pathetic cries of the poor people in the streets? Should the poverty not be erased from the surface of the earth like a wrongly written word? He dived into Quran with these burning questions and learned that the cause of all the miseries and hardships of life, is the exploitation of man by man, under the wrong system, and solution is not to throw few bread crumbs in the begging bowl of the poor, but the solution is to replace the wrong system with the fair and just socioeconomic and political system of Islam.
The History of the world bears witness to the fact, that war or peace depends on, weather people go to bed with an empty stomach or full. If people sleep with food in their belly, there will be peace and if they are hungry, because of exploitation, they will not sleep for long and expect no peace; Nature will join the people in overthrowing the wrong system. This is not the philosophy of Carl Marx, Lenin, Stalin or Mao; this is the decision of Quran.
If we seriously think about what we eat, drink, wear, our places of rest and our modes of transportation, all come from Earth. In other words our existence depends on Earth and its resources. Under the system of exploitation, the exploiters, with their surplus wealth, control the land and its resources. The rich people then hire the labor to tap the resources of earth. Labor force is given a small portion of the generated wealth, in the form of wages and rest is taken away by the Capitalists, in the form of profit on their investment. The Capitalists generate wealth with wealth, without moving their finger. This is against the principal of Islam, where reward is for the labor, not for the capital.
