It is a well-known fact that human beings do not exist among the cogwheels of the exploiting, suffocating, brutality of capitalism. This is a fact, but people are not trying to get rid of it. Good to stay with that, it is also left without options. The fact that Muslims surrender to this wheel is an issue that needs to be considered.
Everything that is forbidden according to Islam is legitimate in this system. The most important thing for Muslims to think about is their willingness to live in this system. Moreover, beyond consent to this system, making it operative.
Being Muslim, performing prayers and doing some good deeds does not absolve him of responsibility. Moreover, it is pushed under a heavier responsibility. The characteristic of capitalism; Causing the wealth of individuals and institutions unjustly or favorably, regardless of its legitimacy.
The widening gaps between people are making the problems worse. Imbalance and inequality are the main features of this structure. The abundance of banks, moneylenders, interest, credit cards, and addictions that make life compulsory make this clamp even more inextricable.
The system surrounds it from all sides like an octopus, seizes it and directs it as it wishes.
Capitalism is the main reason why concrete buildings in a city like Istanbul rise, huge structures, the city and the region under its influence, and make people breathe. When greed becomes blind, it deprives people of air, water and land. Everything is for them. This is one of the concrete examples.
The gulf of people becomes more apparent here. People looking for bread around garbage containers stand like makeshift insects in front of these buildings. They are deprived of being human. It is not enough to limit it to just them.
Those who swim in extremes and abundance live as they please, while those who are below are advised to make do with what is thrown in front of them. "Look at your face, isn't that enough for you?" it is called. The reason is ignorance. There is no sign of conviction or warning about the insatiability of the superiors. Because those in this second group have every right.
Being content with this, the fact that they do some good deeds or be forced out of their earnings does not make them true Muslims. They get out of this business with model mosques tucked into the shadows of huge buildings.
The highest place of a place in our civilization is minarets. It was like that in the past. It shows the spiritual spirit of a city. In a sense, they are indicators that determine the height limits of the city. Another meaning is that it shows the dominance of belief and thought over a town. People are given the opportunity to live in equality.
Of course, it is not possible to expect full equality between people due to their nature and creation. The main factors that prevent the growth of the gaps between them are decisive. This balance can be achieved by prohibiting interest and excessive earnings and preventing consumption and waste. It is also provided. A state is obliged to meet the basic needs of its people. While doing this, it is to ensure that people are in a viable state.
The good that will come from those whose souls are full of concrete, excessive earnings, and greed is cruelty to humanity. Unfair gain is carrying water to the mill of overgrowth capitalism.
Even if they make fifty pilgrimages, build gigantic mosques, even if they do not get up from prostration, their deeds will not save them, since they are the ones who exploit people's labor, sweat and rights. Good deeds from haram are not good. Those good deeds do not justify their dirt.
Those responsible for the interest that our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) trampled underfoot can only satisfy themselves. Validation and legitimation of haram stands on their foreheads as a black mark. Humanity, not Islam, suffers from their actions.
