Islam and Socialism
Dr Syed Hussein Alatas
Sharifah Afra Alatas (translation)
Paperback

Ā
The meaning of the phrase āIslam is socialist in natureā merely acts as a categorisation into a particular system of society based on the features that characterise it as socialist. Those who are against Islam being considered as socialist either do not understand the meaning of certain words or want to uphold the current capitalist system.
Ā
This book, by the preeminent Malaysian sociologist, Professor Dr Syed Hussein Alatas, is the translation of the Islam dan Sosialisme, which first appeared in 1976 as Islam dan Sosialisma. Despite its size, the book covers important and critical issues, including the relationship between religion and socialism, the different types of socialism, as well as the publicās unease about the similarities and differences between socialism and communism. Most importantly, Professor Alatas calls upon us to fight the injustices of capitalism. More than 40 years after its original publication, his ideas are still relevant today.
