Shadee Elmasry – Ownership & Wealth Distribution in Islam

Number one is that it says Melilla, it's Allah's wealth. He

owns it, however, he gave it to you, and let the attack come.

Alright, so we, unlike capitalism, and unlike socialism, socialism,

almost wants to take away a lot of elements besides consumer goods of

human ownership of wealth. Capitalism observes an absolute

ownership. Whereas Islam, the truth, it finds itself actually,

right in the middle, where you're not the owner, but you're allowed

to utilize it and exploit it. But how you have to remember that the

rights of wealth, the true heirs of wealth, are not just the

producers of the wealth, but also those whom Allah has commanded you

from. And we can glean that from the word where to whom he's

telling you

give them right. And so the two themes here is that it's a manner

that Allah is giving us ownership, we're allowed to have ownership.

It's not ours, but we're allowed to have ownership. And because

it's not ours, it makes sense in my mind, that I can be told what

to do with it by the real owner. And it's fair. So the second point

being that

who has the right to wealth, and both socialism and capitalism,

they're both actually in the same set here is that they are only

talk about the producers of wealth. Okay, so cap, capitalism

is capital, its labor, its land, and it's the entrepreneurs in

socialism, it's the labor and the other three are the collective.

But Islam comes and says, no, no, no. There's a second category of a

rightful owner of wealth, which is namely that the rightful owner of

wealth is the producer and those who have been assigned the

obligation to receive that wealth, which is the recipients of Zika

NEFA. And we can I want to get to that point later.
