This is their contention. But great Muslims scholars say that it is totally wrong to say that Socialism is the same as Islam. In the history of Muslims scholars there were so many personalities who proved the fact that: Islam is totally different from Socialism.

[...] ANALYSIS POINTS OF DIFFERENCE On analysis we find that socialism and Islam are diametrically opposed to each other while the chief function of socialism is to crush the individuality of man and abolish the very institution of private ownership, Islam approves of them under restrictions .The points of difference are as follows: .PRIVATE OWNERSHIP Islam admits the private ownership of property but holds it as trust in the hands of the owner in order to provide for the needy and poor while giving to the owner the right of its use for his own wants not for luxuries as there is no room for luxuries in Islam.
