Man is
bound by his needs in such a way that living alone becomes impossible, forcing
him to live in society. Aristotle aptly referred to man as a social animal.
Within society, people engage in buying and selling, giving rise to the process
of trade. The advancement of communication media and electronic means of
communication further facilitated this. Small businesses grew into factories,
and groups of industries emerged. Domestic companies expanded internationally,
transforming business into various complex forms. Business gurus have now
become institutes that offer comprehensive business education at affordable
rates.
In the modern era, business has transcended the realm of basic
needs and has become focused on maximizing profit. The sole aim of human life
seems to be achieving maximum financial gain, with success defined by the
extent of profit earned. In pursuit of this goal, individuals create colorful
webs that instill new needs in society. The emphasis shifts to fulfilling these
desires, and new and easier ways to satisfy them are suggested. Can you imagine
what lengths individuals will go to engage in business?
Every human being becomes a customer to another human being for
their needs, thus becoming a potential victim in the eyes of the other, who
aims to maximize profit. When everyone sees others as potential victims, the
level of greed and selfishness in society escalates, leading to a world of
social exploitation and self-centeredness. Such a society teeters on the edge
of civil unrest and is at risk of collapsing at any moment.
The only solution to combat these unnatural thoughts and desires
is to establish a society based on Mustafai consciousness and principles. The
first principle of a Mustafai society is that "a Muslim is one from whom
other Muslims are safe in terms of both their words and actions." The
second principle states that "a person cannot truly have faith until they
wish for their brother what they wish for themselves." Lastly, the third
principle asserts that "the best among people is the one who is most
beneficial to others."
