Islam teaches that building the foundations of community life on faith, spirituality, purification of the soul and morality is essential to ensure people remain upright, just, peaceful, and conscious of their social obligations.
With these foundations, people find purpose and meaning, become motivated to live a moral life, take care of others, and promote peace, respect, and dignity for all people. A society in which citizens live in dignity encourages a fair and just distribution of wealth.
This consequently stimulates material and economic development, prosperity, development and growth of knowledge and wisdom, and hence human progress.
Islam teaches that a society in which people are driven by self-worship, material goals alone, arrogance, selfish objectives, short-term gains, greed for power and wealth, will lead to the eventual social disintegration and weakening of society
