THE ENLIGHTENED THINKER
The worker suffers in silence. Long
hours, low wages,Wages endless disputes while rulers side with the powerful. Mothers
sacrifice their health, fathers lose jobs to foreign labour, and families are
trapped in poverty. This pain is not random, it is the direct outcome of
rejecting Allah swt's Laws.
Man-made systems promise
"rights" but deliver betrayal. In Mauritius, disputes drag on for
years while families struggle. Minimum wages are legislated while executives
hoard wealth. Unions cry for justice yet the State protects employers. Workers
are even forbidden to strike, their voices silenced by the very laws meant to
protect them.
What is this but oppression? Capitalism
reduces human beings to commodities. Labour is bought and sold like merchandise.
Workers are exploited, divided, and discarded when no longer useful.The
framework is built not for justice, but for profit.
Local workers vs foreign workers. Public
sector privileges vs private sector neglect. Endless legal processes that serve
the rich. No reform, no 'assises", no roundtable can fix what is corrupt
at its root. A rotten tree cannot bear just fruit.
Islam revealed a clear and
uncompromising system. The Prophet s.a.w commanded: "Pay the worker his
wages before his sweat has dried." (Ibn Majah). Wages are a right, not a
gift. Delay is oppression, a crime before Allah swt. Exploitation is forbidden,
contracts must be fair.
The ruler is responsible to secure
justice, not protect the rich. Allah swt says: "O you who have believed,
do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by
mutual consent." (TMQ S4V29). This standard exposes the hypocrisy of
secular law, which legalises oppression under contracts and policies. We must
stop believing in secular illusions.
We must stop hoping that man-made law
will deliver justice. Real dignity for workers can never come from capitalism,
it comes only when Allah (swt)'s Laws govern life. The choice is clear: submission
to man-made oppression or submission to Allah (swt)'s Justice. Which will we
choose?
