Capitalism is intended to serve the interests of the few Always


Capitalism will Always be Elite
Working within the failing capitalist system, we see numerous voices calling for awareness and equity. Seeing the ascent of neediness in developed nations as well as the less developed implies that nobody is uninformed of the desperate requirement for action. There are political and religious activists who are growing in their numbers with both feedback and advice.

The stark without a doubt one can't alter the system on the grounds that it is defective from its basis, being manmade it is inclined to make disparity and inequality. Business and finance leaders are roused by an ideology that makes man look for the material gains over the ethical every time.

Whilst the congregation is pointing to the moral aspect that people ought to look for in their financial dealings, businesses will just feel obliged to do something if there is a reasonable criteria on activities. Christianity is constrained in its guidelines to give a reasonable solution, so the expressions of the Pope can just give a reminder with no genuine points of interest or authority. Arab rulers contirbutes to the suffering of Muslims.

News:
Pope Francis urged top business and finance leaders meeting in London to address the “scandal of global inequality” and bring economic development and benefit to all people. In a message to the second Inclusive Capitalism Conference he said he prayed that participants would recognize their efforts as a service to global society, especially to the poor who are most often excluded from the benefits of economic growth and investment.” The message, read out by Westminster Cardinal Vincent Nichols, called for fruitful dialogue with local communities, “by listening and responding to their needs and aspirations”. (Source: The Tablet, 29/6/15)

There is only a trust of pricking somebody's cognizant. To take care of the issue of inequality from its root we need a system that is clear and detailed and not leave man at all without direction.

Islam allows trade and economic development and from its basis, the divine writings, it has given clear direction on the best way to prevent economic inequality. These tenets are part of a complete system that should be actualized by means of the Khilafah State, which has genuine authority to establish the principles, as opposed to simply giving individuals general direction to follow in the event that they see fit.

Firstly, the Ahkam Shari'ah have secured the fulfillment of the greater part of the basic needs (nourishment, clothing and housing) totally, for each citizen of the Khilafah. The Prophet ﷺ said,


«لَيْسَ لابْن آدَمَ حَقٌّ في سِوى هَذِهِ الخِصَال: بَيْتٌ يَسْكُنُهُ، وَثَوْبٌ يُوَارِي عَوْرَتَهُ وَجِلْفُ الخُبز، وَالمَاءِ»

“The Son of Adam has no better right than that he would have a house wherein he may live, a piece of clothing whereby he may hide his nakedness and a piece of bread and some water [Tirmidhi].

The State is mindful and responsible for destitution and can't wash its hands and trust in individuals to feel bad and act.

Islam obliges man to work, the kids or the beneficiaries to support the parents in the event that they are not ready to work, or obliges the State Treasury (Bait al-Mal) to do as such, if there is no one to support them.

Furthermore, Islam additionally gave the obligation of the group to help individuals in financial trouble. Allah سبحانه وتعالى said:


وَأَطْعِمُوا الْبَائِسَ الْفَقِيرَ

“And feed the wretched poor (person).” (Qur'an Surat Al-Hajj:28)

Also, thirdly, Islam has made the course of riches between all natives an obligation, and has prohibited the confinement of such dissemination (hoarding) to a certain group of individuals to the rejection of others. Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:


كَيْ لَا يَكُونَ دُولَةً بَيْنَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ مِنْكُمْ

 “Lest it circulates solely among the wealthy from amongst you” (Qur'an Surat al Hashr:7)

Using the divine writings, Muslims had the capacity contend in economic action, thrive in their material gains and the general public all in all did not suffer but rather was prosperous as well. Capitalism can't be settled by an injection of morals or a call of inclusivity as it is intended to serve the interests of the few and will always remain selective.
