Do you know what the flaw in this system is? Anyone who has wealth, power, or influence ends up oppressing others, humiliating them, and violating their rights. Why? Because he knows he is above the law because of his wealth.  He commits injustice openly, causing society to fall into a state of imbalance.

This is not theoretical; this is the reality of modern Western society. The root cause of this is that they have built their civilisation upon permanence.  Whoever believes he is untouchable becomes rebellious and tyrannical. The truth is that this principle is fundamentally flawed; nothing is everlasting in this world. Everything here is temporary, destined to perish, as stated in the Quran:

كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَیْهَا فَانٍۚۖ(۲۶)

All residing upon it will perish.^[1]

In contrast to Western civilization, behold the beauty of Islam, which laid the foundation of civilisation, morality, character, and everything else, upon seeking the pleasure of Allah Almighty.

A true Muslim does not do good to others with the expectation of receiving a favour in return. Instead, his purpose is to please Allah Almighty. A true Muslim refrains from harming others not to protect himself from harm. We do not greet others with a smile so that they smile back at us. We do not provide financial assistance to someone so we receive help in the future.

Rather, Islam teaches us that whatever we do in this world should be done solely for the sake of Allah Almighty.

Allah says:

قُلْ اِنَّ صَلَاتِیْ وَ نُسُكِیْ وَ مَحْیَایَ وَ مَمَاتِیْ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَۙ(۱۶۲)

Say, “Indeed, my prayer, and my sacrifices, and my living, and my dying are all for Allah alone; Lord of all the worlds.^[2]
