If the Property Is Made to Serve the Whim, Misery Will Be Inevitable

News:

"Fluctuations in global markets are continuing," President Erdogan said at a group meeting of his party. All economies are grappling with levels of inflation they haven't been seen in 40 years. Rising energy prices are deepening uncertainty in the production and supply chain. The increase in prices in all energy sources has disrupted the balances. We are aware of the increase in prices for seeds, diesel fuel, fertilizers of our farmers. We're taking a lot of precautions. Increasing and continuing production is our top priority. I wish we could avoid this situation byfinding our own oil sources local."

Comment:

None of the societies living under the capitalist order and its rule, which continues to dominate the entire earth today, have been able to experience spiritual, moral, human and material well-being as a whole. Only a certain group of people seek happiness by establishing domination over material wealth with an endless ambition far from morality and humanity. Of course, this is not off the table in Turkey.

Although President Erdogan attributes the main cause of the poverty and crisis to developments occurring globally, the truth is not so. Although inflation and the price increase have increased at a certain level on a global scale, this situation is too exorbitant to be explained by any statistical data in Turkey. So much so, let's remind Erdogan and his advisers, who set an example of European countries in every speech, that inflation there is 8-9%. With all kinds of deceptions, inflation is shown at 73.5%. In fact, there are almost no products whose price has not increased by less than 200% in the last year. Despite this, inflation is shown as 73.5%!

Again, when we look at energy on a global scale, the price of a barrel of oil in June 2021 was around $72, while the increase to $120 is currently around 70%. In our country, the increase compared to last year has withstood 300%. These exorbitant price increases, of course, are not limited to just the energy item. Different climate, with a wealth in terms of Water Resources, vast farmlands, the team which is highly conducive to the plant, in this land millions of people living under the poverty, and if the staple food products are not accesible anymore, Mr Erdogan, you can't explain that with global developments. This is clearly called incompetence, clairvoyance.

Talking about increasing production and not taking any steps necessary for the farmer to produce is just nonsense. The price of diesel fuel, which has increased by 300%, fertilizer, pharmaceutical prices, which have increased by about 400-500%, again aims not to increase production.

We would like to remind Erdoğan that water is gushing all over the country, but the farmer cannot irrigate because of the costs. The mountains and plains of the country are covered by water, but you have condemned everyone to paid waters because they have not been made suitable for people to drink. The dams are full of water, but you thought it was smart to sell it to the public at high profits. Our agricultural land has the capacity to feed the entire Middle East, but the high cost and the worry of not being able to sell the product for the price it deserves causes the farmer not to produce it. There are millions of young people in the labor force, but they are unemployed. There are all kinds of underground resources, but it has been rent out to someone. There are power plants and resources all over the country, but by privatizing them, you have left the public at the mercy of these companies. So what we are going to say is that even though oil is gushing instead of water in this country today, it will not be a panacea because it will not be enough for you or the gluttons who are nesting around you unless these resources are considered a source of the public and protected.

If you had been really sincere, you would have first questioned the capitalist order, which is the cause of this poverty. You would not have put the resources of the people and the public in the interests of a handful of transgressors. You would not allow the impoverishment of the people in the name of the growth of the companies around you. You would not have overlooked all the corruption, immorality and waste. You would not give the usurers the taxes that you collected wrongfully from the people. You would not have dared to spread interest under the name of currency-protected deposits, income-indexed notes to the base of the people in the name of the so-called correction of the economy. Yes, Mr. Erdogan, the people are doomed to this poverty and misery because you have given up everything for some property. For 20 years, you have been using your property in a superstitious way. This is already a great crime.

Muslims will feel the taste of all moral, spiritual, human and material wealth at the highest level with the Khilafah (Caliphate) that will apply the judgment of Allah at the property of Allah. And this will be as soon as possible InshaAllah.
