Social System, The Khilafah

Only the Khilafah State will put an End to Women’s Desertion

Tanzania and international media outlets recently reported on hundreds of women thronged the Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner’s Office with claims against their negligent partners in the upkeep of children. On March 8, RC Paul Makonda invited all women in the region who have been deserted by their parental partners to report to his office for legal assistance. Also Mr Makonda invited men believing that they were raising children who are not their biological offspring to report at his office for support.

Comment:

Women’s desertion is one among the tragedies of capitalism. A host of various causes are responsible, including democratic sexual freedom, anti-polygamy and economic hardships are the results of implementing capitalist economic system.

This man-made system concentrates wealth in the hands of few elites and that causes selfishness and economic hardships that force some men to desert their partners as they fail to carry the burden of up keeping children. This detrimental system does not satisfy itself with economic exploitation of masses; rather, it destroys their moral action, honesty, integrity, and accountability.

People are prompting to satisfy their whims freely like fornication while fighting polygamy by all possible means despite the fact that men are outnumbered by women. These shameful acts will never exist in the future Khilafah (Caliphate) as it had never existed in the past.

In Islam, which is Allah’s system, fornication is haram, polygamy – is not frowned upon and economic misery will be tackled in a brilliant way, as the Khilafah will make fair and just distribution of all resources.

Furthermore, Khilafah will shape citizens’ thoughts and actions through the criteria of halal and haram and not profits and whims like in the capitalism system.
