I agree with you fully:
"Khud badalte nahi, Quran badal daitain hain
huwey kis darje fiqhan harm bey tawfeeq"
Skiwa ba az gardishe taqdeer kerd
kare khud ra muhkam az tadbeer kerd
"ger toh mi khuwahi Musleman zeestan
neest mumkin juzweh ba Quran zeestan
We have to look at no one else but at the life of Prophet Mohammed(SAW), the Greatest Human being that ever lived on this Earth and was sent by Allah as the "Rahmet-ul-Almeen" for the mankind until the eternity. Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) was the most pious, truthful, honest, loving and humble man that has ever lived. The ultimate aim of Allah's creation of the universe was the birth of our beloved Prophet Mohammed (SAW). At the end of his, he was the ruler of whole of the Saudi Arabia, Yemen, parts of Syria and Philistine but lived on his meager state salary in a small rented house with no servants, helped his wives with domestic chores and never knew if he would have the next meal. He had no assest of his own at the end of his life to have left to his family.
Islamic view is that unless equality(masawat) in all spheres of life is not practiced, a society will remain unjust and it is the duty of the state to provide and look after the needs and comforts of its subjects. The Sermon of Last Hajj, All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white - except by piety and good action. He explicitly mentioned the rights of men, women, and all groups of the society. Islam provides guidance to its adherents in all phases and activities of life, material as well as spiritual. The economic policy of Islam has been explained in most unequivocal terms: so that this (wealth) may not circulate solely among the rich from among you, (59/7).
Communism was bound to fail as it crushed human aspirations, freedom, liberty, disallowed possession of personal assets and made people just mechanical robots, mean for production for the communist state. The godless state-run ideology is anti-thesis of western capricious capitalism, competition and prohibits amassing wealth, which is a natural desire of a normal human being. Equality of all men in wealth and comfort, even if it is ideal, does not promise to be of unmixed good to humanity. First because natural talents are not equal amongst different men, so much so that even one if one were to start a group of person with complete equality, soon the spendthrift will fall into difficulties and will again look on the fortune of his comrades with greed and envy. Further, on philosophical and psychological grounds, it seems that in the every interest of human society, it is desirable that there should be grades in wealth; the poor having the desire and incentive to work harder.
On the other hand if it is asked of men to work harder than their capacity without a reward, then everyone will become lazy and careless would be tremendous waste of peoples talent and loss to humanity. Everyone knows that livelihood is in constant progress, though the domination and exploitation one after the other of all things that God has created, whereas one sees that the rest of animals have changed nothing in their livelihood ever since God has created their spices. The cause of this difference as discovered by the biologist is simultaneous existence of a society, a cooperation, and a liberty of competition inside the members of the society, i.e., human beings, whereas other animals suffer from the lack of some or all these requisite conditions. Dogs, cats, rats, monkeys, snakes, etc for instance do not even create a family; they perpetuate their race by means of free and momentarily, love, rutting instinct. Other such as crows, pigeons do create a family in the form of couples yet even if the male helps in the nest building, every member of the couple depends on its own for livelihood.
Perhaps the most developed social cooperation is found among bees, ants and termites: they live in a collective way with the complete equality in livelihood, yet without any competition among its members and consequently it is not possible for the more intelligent or more industrious bee to live more comfortably than others. For this reason, there is neither evolution nor change, much less progress in any of these species as against the human race. The past history of man shows that every advance and every discovery of the means of comfort came into existence through competition and desire for amelioration, and also through the existence of grades of wealth or poverty among men, one above the other. Yes, the absolute liberty as in liberal democracy would lead to devilish men exploit the needy and ooze them out gradually. So, it was necessary for every progressive civilization and every healthy culture to impose certain duties on its members(such as to pay the taxes), the interdiction of having recourse and cheating etc, and recommend certain supererogatory acts like charity and expenditure for the sake of God., yet nevertheless to have a great deal of liberty of thought and action to its members, so that each one benefits himself, his exigency, his friends and the society at large. This is exigency of Islam and its also conforms to nature. It tolerates the minority of the rich and accumulation of wealth but imposes upon them heavier obligations: prevents immoral means of exploitation, hoarding and accumulation of wealth. Further, it makes injunctions and also some recommendations for charity and sacrifice with promise of spiritual and eschatological rewards.
Allah: As in the Quran Allah says : "O Mankind! Reverence your Guardian- Lord Who created you from a single person; created, of like nature, his mate, from them twain scattered countless men and Women". ( An-Nisa 4:1) "It is He Who has created you for all things that are on earth; moreover His design comprehended the heavens, for He gave order and perfection to the seven firmaments; and of all things He has perfrct knowledge." (Al Baqarah 2.29)Surah Al-alaq verse 2 : Created man out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood.". It describes embryo formation at the earliest stage resembling a clot of blood.
"Amal sey zindgi benti ha, Janat bih janham bih". I wish that our Muslim brothers and sisters realize this fact while they breathe.
