Why capitalism is fundementally immoral in Islamic perspective — a thread 
"Part of the reason why capitalism is a fundementally immoral system is that it can only exist by inciting a never-ending desire for consumption. When people exist in a state of contentment they don't buy new things. The ordering of this value system causes you to believe (cont)
that by acquiring more created things that you'll become happier and a better person, that your ultimate transcendent value is to be measured in the number and the nature of the possesions you gather. That's fundementally incompetible with Islam's view -
that your fundemental value as a humanbeing has to do with 2 things and 2 things alone: faith & charackter.
The attractions of the Dunya at a material level in a capitalist society are overwhelming. The cure for that attack from the Dunya that's recomended in Massalikul Jinaan is khalwa. If the world is your problem then you withdraw from the world in spiritual retreat.
One day, two days, eightd days, forty days of Moses... Unplug from all human connections...
What was the solution the messenger of God, Muhammad saw when he looked the rampant materialism and immorality of Meccan society? Unplug.
Go to a cave, look inward... Find the riches that are there.

It's difficult to do when we have our families, our jobs but it's a necessity -to periodically take one day or three days, where you just simply withdraw — where you don't check your email, where you don't check ig stories, where you're not on fb, where you're just unplugged.
That spiritual retreat is that place what allows for contemplative reflection - that was the space where Ibrahim (Abraham) AS was in when he watched the stars, the sun, and the moon and he knew at the end, with certainty he had -yaqeen- who his Lord was."
