Communism did not penetrate the Islamic East as deeply as the West did. Perhaps this is because the latter came earlier and established a firmer foothold, or because it understood the nature of the East in time and refrained from openly waging war against its beliefs. Instead, it disguised itself under the names of civilization, modernity, Westernization, and social change to spread secularism, women's liberation, and the weakening of religion—without most Muslims even realizing it.

However, Marxism is more dangerous to the Islamic East than the West because of the deceptive tactics it employs, which easily mislead the general public—especially those it initially targets, the so-called “proletariat,” or the working class. It sedates them with promises that power will eventually fall into their hands and that they alone will reap the benefits, excluding all other classes.

Furthermore, its ultimate goal is the destruction of this Ummah’s belief system and the eradication of its religion. From its inception to its end, Marxism is founded upon disbelief in Allah, denial of His names, and rejection of all religions. Even when it employs a staged strategy of avoiding direct attacks on religions, or claims to allow religions to exist, or deceptively argues that religions themselves are socialist and leftist in nature, its true intentions remain the same.

Whenever victory or power seems within reach, Marxism crushes everything in its path. It destroys lands and people, drenching nations in bloodbaths to eliminate all opposition, ensuring that the fear of punishment remains as a deterrent to anyone who dares to challenge it.

Since Marxism established its own state, it has invested heavily in spreading its ideology. Initially, it followed a strategy of influencing societies through grassroots movements, rallying the working class to initiate change from the bottom up. However, in recent years, it has experimented with the tactics of the United States—seeking to enact change from the top down through military coups. Some of these coups have successfully seized power in various countries. But will they succeed in transforming the foundations of these societies?

Marxism is preparing to inherit the civilization of the Arabs—a possibility that cannot be ignored.

First, because it is currently in its youth, while Western civilization is experiencing its decline.

Second, because it possesses a level of deception and manipulation—especially over the working class—that other Western ideologies do not.

Third, because the West is currently experiencing moral decay and religious detachment, making it vulnerable to outright atheism.

Lastly, as we have pointed out (and will continue to elaborate on, in Allah’s will), the two civilizations share the same foundation. It is not surprising, therefore, that one would inherit the other. Hence, despite the objectivity and scholarly basis of our discussion, our words serve as a warning to our Ummah.

The ground is being pulled from beneath its feet, and destruction and extinction await if it continues to remain heedless—if it neglects even for a moment, or if it compromises even slightly.

We believe that the natural starting point in confronting such deceptive ideologies is to examine their origins, for every container spills forth what it holds within. We must understand the environment in which it was nurtured, the man who championed it, and then analyze its core tenets, as well as its attempts at self-correction to address its own flaws.

Finally, we must examine what Marxism has done to the Muslims—starting from Crimea and the Caucasus, all the way to Yemen and Somalia.

Allah is our helper, upon Him we rely, and there is no power or strength except through Allah, the Most High, the Almighty.

And the rulers bear the greatest responsibility—not only those who knowingly allowed Marxism to take root in Muslim lands, for they will carry their sins in full on the Day of Judgment, along with the burden of those whom they misled without knowledge—but also those who, out of ignorance, have paved the way for it. By this, we mean the faction drowning in its own desires, recklessly squandering its wealth and the wealth of Muslims without upholding Islam’s social justice for the poor and the deprived.
