Abstract

socialism is the term used in many countries. This word has come from the word society. Some Muslims think that the socialism is fundamentally the same as islam. They say it is just another name of social justice. They have this opinion on the basis of the fact that: it stands for the responsibility of the state to provide the basic needs of citizens and so, they say, it can not be opposed to islam. This is their contention. But great Muslims scholars say that it is totally wrong to say that socialism is the same as islam. In the history of Muslims scholars there were so many personalities who proved the fact that: islam is totally different from socialism.

In this assignment I have tried my best to prove the fact that islam is not as socialism .I have given many references from the Holy Quran and from the life of the Holy prophet (PBUH) to prove this concept.
