hostility among its classes and communities. Individuals of such a
society feel secure concerning their present and future.
Social justice can be realized through a nationalistic view and a
system of a mixed economy with a greater emphasis on its
liberalistic component.
Nationalism is the zeal used to improve a nation. Nationalism
means to love the nation one belongs to, to work for its progress,
to defend and maintain its national values, institutions, religion
and traditions. The system that produces the best and the most
fruitful form of social justice is the religion of Islam. Muslims
believe that they are brothers to one another and love one
another as such. They do not even attack non-Muslims’ property,
life and chastity. The religion of Islam provides mutual love and
help among people, prevents disunion, commands working and
earning money in a halâl way, gives every working person his due
and protects everybody’s property. Every Muslim, being
contented with his earnings, lives in comfort and peace. Nobody
harms others’ property and lands. Those who know what social
justice is and who are sincere in their cause must revere and
support Islam.
Socialism does not mean social justice. Despite their common
nomenclature, they are different and even quite opposite. They
are like îmân and kufr (unbelief), that is, one of them cannot exist
where the other is.
Socialism defends enmity against individual ownership,
centralized state control of all the means of production and trade,
establishment of a dictatorship, enmity against religion, turning all
the working people into labourers, and annihilating the ideas of
religion, history, nation, country and state. Except for very little
food, clothing, essentials of a home life and one or two rooms,
which can only keep a person alive, all the income and earnings of
an individual are taken away from him. Thus, people are deprived
of every kind of enterprise, competition, exploration, belief and
improvement. All their talents and personalities are done away
with. Like slaves or robots controlled with severe oppression and
torture by a single, cruel and merciless center, they are employed
until exhausted of all their energy.
Today, socialism has become a mask and a tool for the
dictatorship of red and yellow imperialisms. If one or more of the
above-mentioned principles of socialism are applied mildly or not
applied at all, it is called national socialism. If all of them are
applied with torture and murder, it is called revolutionary
