You believe in a society that combines Islamic principles with socialist policies to achieve economic equality, social justice, and spiritual fulfillment for all.
Islamic Socialism is a political ideology that blends the principles of socialism with the teachings and values of Islam. It emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to both Western capitalist and Eastern socialist models, aiming to provide a third way that was more in line with Islamic principles. The ideology seeks to address social inequality and economic disparity, advocating for wealth redistribution, social justice, and public ownership of resources, all within the framework of Islamic law and ethics.
Islamic Socialism's roots can be traced back to the early Islamic…

If you had to choose between a higher personal income and a more equitable society, which would you choose and why?
@9HZFDZS5mos5MO
I think education, access to healthcare, and fair economic policies are key. Also, fostering empathy and understanding can help us respect and value our differences.
@9HZFMY75mos5MO
higher personal income and a more equitable society
@9HZFMWD5mos5MO
I would choose a more equitable society as I feel that everyone deserves to have the proper experiences in life such as education, healthcare, and opportunites.
@9HZKF2P5mos5MO
A more equitable society does not guarantee "the proper experiences in life such as education, healthcare, and opportunities."
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Imagine a society where wealth is shared according to need; do you feel this is fair, and why?
@9H7Q5SQ6mos6MO
It depends on the situation. If I am working extremely hard and not getting the money I deserve whereas someone else has a lot of money and not doing anything, then no
@9H7PZYB6mos6MO
No, this is not fair to the people that have worked hard in order to accumulate their wealth and it should not be taken from the hard workers and given to those which are not willing to put in the effort to work.
@9H7PH2Y6mos6MO
No, because wealth a lot of times is earned and if people just get money for doing nothing all day then they are getting paid for the wrong reasons.
@9H7PHCH6mos6MO
Hell no, If I work hard then i'm going to get my pay for it. I don't want to share it with anyone else besides my family.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What impact do you think eliminating interest on loans would have on your family and community?
@9HTGLZFLibertarian 5mos5MO
Eliminating interest with certainly help a lot of people, but it would also make banks and financial institutions. Not want to make loans, so you'll be out of stalemate.
@9J59XK2Republican5mos5MO
I dont think it would have a good impact. I think the change is unnecessary. The line between good and bad is flexible and ever-shifting. It sounds very appealing to not have to worry about interest, but I believe that it would devistate our current economy. We romanticize the idea of change, not quite realizing that the real issue may be our refusal to be ok with what we already have.
@9J59BGZ5mos5MO
Interest on loans is how banks make money and people just shouldn't take out loans. If you take one you take the risk of paying it off for years.
@9J594C4Independent 5mos5MO
stuff like car and health loans are good since we're getting insurance on that stuff but student loans shouldn't be a thing.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Imagine that your ideal job pays less but contributes more to society. Would you still pursue it, and why?
@9KW979D3mos3MO
I would likely not take this job because personally I want to be comfortable and prioritize my freedom from financial stress over the potential contributions.
@9KW4SR4 3mos3MO
I would still pursue it because my ideal job isn't based on how much money I make. Its based on what I wouldn't dread waking up in the morning for, so as long as I could make a comfortable living I would be fine.
@9KVYT8Z3mos3MO
I would still pursue it because it's what I enjoy and it's a bonus that I'm getting paid for it.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Should personal success be measured by material wealth or contributions to societal welfare? What would be your ideal metric?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Would you be willing to trade some personal luxuries for a society with reduced economic inequality?
@9JT2WT4Republican4mos4MO
God no, I believe a person should work for the wealth. I do not believe in sharing the wealth you have made.
@VulcanMan6 4mos4MO
So like, all workers should have direct ownership over the profits of their own labor, right?
@9CJ6CB64mos4MO
Seriously, people gotta understand what they’re actually advocating for. It’s amazing how often people accidentally support socialism, especially whenever they claim to hate it.
@9JVFHVB4mos4MO
it depends, but overall yes because if we create/keep an allie with people and trade stuff with them, then they may help us out if we need them
@9JT2Q654mos4MO
No I work hard for my things you aint takin nothin from me
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you feel about eliminating interest-based transactions in favor of Islamic socialist economic systems?
@9H7PPF66mos6MO
I do not know enough to be educated on this decision.
@9H7PNW26mos6MO
I think that the current system would be much better than islamic socialism
@9H7PHCH6mos6MO
**** Islamic Socialism. Socialism doesn't work. Look at venezuela.
@9H7PW8L6mos6MO
there is no need for a new economic system, let alone one that only works in a few much smaller countries
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
Can you see a place for spiritual values in the economic systems that govern society?
t depends on the country and the population and beliefs of said country really. In a country like America it would never work, but the idea isn’t necessarily a bad one depending on the human rights aspect of the government.

If the acquisition of wealth was less of a focus in society, how do you think that would change interpersonal relationships?
@9HXXD6FWomen’s Equality5mos5MO
People wouldn't be struggling financially as much as they do now.
@9HTGLZFLibertarian 5mos5MO
If the acquisition of wealth was not a major fact when people's lives. I think the world would be a calmer place to live.
