Because of this point of view, Marxists claim that the course of his-
tory's only determinant is the "means of production." Marx's famous Das
Kapital tries to interpret history in terms of means of production.
According to Marx, "primitive society" was a group of hunter-gatherers.
With the switch to agriculture, a society of "serfs" was born. Later "feu-
dal society" developed, along with new changes in the kind of produc-
tion. When machines were invented, a new kind of production called
industry came to be. With it came "capitalist society." According to
Marx, such concepts as religion, state, law, family and morality all arose
and developed from differences in the kinds of production.
Marxism's narrow view of history has been disproved by the expla-
nations of many thinkers, to say nothing of concrete experience.
Therefore, there's no reason to demonstrate that invalidity here, only to
focus on the conservative, dull, rigid, colorless society that a materialist
enterprise produces.
Contrary to the Marxist belief, the human spirit or soul isn't a mate-
rial product. On the contrary, what we call matter is seen, heard and felt
by spirit. Therefore, it's not possible to define the human spirit in terms
of the material conditions in which it finds itself. God created the human
spirit with various aspects and tendencies, such as intelligence, imagina-
tion, feelings and desires. No matter what circumstances a person finds
himself in, these tendencies will not change; they will only be expressed
in a different way.
God created the first man and gave him the same qualities and
skills as today's human beings. For this reason, our level consciousness
does not differ according to the place or time we live in. The will, feel-
ings, thoughts and mind of the very first human being in history are the
same as for anyone living today. The only difference is the means he
uses to express them. An individual's level of consciousness varies ac-
cording to how he uses the mental skills he has been given and the urg-
ings of his conscience. Muslims, who are conscious of this, are not
limited by time, location, environment or particular ideological ideas.
As God has commanded them in the Qur'an, they ponder everything
that happens to them, trying to grasp its subtleties and see its beauty. In
