资本主义独特的根本基础，是对私有财产自由这一理念的接受。这种接受本身又源于对个人自由理念的接受。由于资本主义意识形态建立在自由理念之上，并带有其个人主义，个人自由中最重要的方面，就是随心所欲地拥有任何他想要之物的自由。财产自由是资本主义的神圣原则之一。依其观点，因此必须通过限制国家干预、制定保护自由所必需的法律，为个人占有和发展财富打开大门。西方法律的立法，其本源在于承认个人对一切生产资料的私人所有权，并使国家负有保护这一自由的责任。国家不得制定任何会废除这一自由的法律，而只能在保护他人自由所必需的范围内限制自由。

The distinct foundational basis of capitalism is the adoption of the idea of freedom of private ownership. That adoption is itself the result of the adoption of the idea of individual freedom. Since the capitalist ideology is based on the idea of freedom, with its individualism, the most important aspect of freedom of the individual is the freedom to possess whatever he wants, however he desires. Freedom of ownership is amongst the sanctities of Capitalism. According to their view, it is therefore mandatory to open the doors to possessing and developing wealth for individuals, by limiting state intervention, formulating laws that are mandatory in the protection of freedom. The legislation of Western laws is in origin to recognize individual private ownership of all the means of production, making the state responsible for protecting that freedom. The state is not to legislate any laws that would nullify that freedom, whilst restricting freedom only to the extent necessary to protect the freedom of others.

这是资本主义对私有财产的原有哲学立场。然而现实是，私有财产已经随时间发展，从单纯的个人财产，演变为个人和群体的财产，即他们所称的"有限财产"。这一转变源于资本家对利润、生产和资本财富发展的激烈追逐。资本主义不再仅仅将个人的所有权自由作为其定义，而是转而保障个人和群体或集体拥有财产的自由。这是因为工业和技术的发展强加了一种新的竞争性经济模式，使资本财富和投资的规模成倍增长，进而迫使人们必须由群体（如股份公司等公司）而非单一个人来拥有大型项目和巨额资本投资。资本主义还促使国家进行干预，扩大其角色，在许多资本主义国家中为所谓的福利国家目标提供资金和投资。这一发展表明资本主义经济的虚构性和不成立性，因为它与其所建立的根基相矛盾，而这一根基正是资本主义的鲜明特征。

This is the original capitalist philosophy towards private property. However, the reality is that private property has developed over time from individual property alone, to the property of both individuals and groups, as limited property, in their words. This transformation occurred as a result of capitalists scrambling for profit, production and development of capital wealth. Capitalism is no longer defining the freedom of individuals in ownership alone. Instead, Capitalism now ensures freedom of both the individual and a group or collective to possess. This is because industrial and technological developments imposed a new model of competitive economy. It led to multiplication in the volume of capital wealth and investment. This in turn imposed the necessity of owning the megaprojects, of huge capital investment by groups, as companies, such as joint stock companies, rather than a single individual. Capitalism also imposed state intervention, extending its role to fund and invest in many capitalist nations, to serve the goals of the so-called welfare state. This development indicates the fictional vision and invalidity of the capitalist economy. This is due to its contradiction to the origins upon which it was built, whose characteristic was the distinct characteristic of capitalism.

这种认为一切事物都可以自由私有的观点本身就是无效的，原因有两点：

The idea of freedom of private ownership of all things is invalid in itself for two reasons:

首先，私有财产的自由必然导致生产资料集中到少数个人和群体手中。私有财产的自由确保了财富集中在一小撮资本家阶层手中。正是这个资本家阶层支配着国家经济，成为一种力量，使政治权威屈从于它的意志，把国家变成仅仅服务于其利益的工具。

Firstly, freedom of private ownership will inevitably lead to the concentration of the means of production, in the hands of a few individuals and groups. Freedom of private ownership ensures the concentration of wealth in the hands of a small capitalist class. It is this capitalist class which dominates the nation’s economy, by becoming the authority working to subjugate the political authority to its will, making the state a mere tool to serve its interests.

这就是资本主义国家中实际所见证的现实。

This is the reality of what is actually witnessed in capitalist nations.

其次，所有制的类型与经济资源本身以及经济制度对财富分配的看法有关。这是因为财富既包括应当私有化的部分，也包括不应私有化的部分。由于资本主义基本上意味着财富的增长与发展，而不是财富的分配，资本主义主张所有经济资源都应当私有化。这种观点是错误的，因为任何社会的经济公平都需要所有制类型的区分，从而分配财富，防止财富集中于某些群体之中。此外，照顾群体的权利要求对矿产和能源等公共事业实行某种特定的所有制。因此，事实是财产不能仅限于私有财产，而应当实际区分为私有财产、公有财产和国家财产。这三类划分在伊斯兰教中各自分明，这与资本主义和社会主义不同，足以见证伊斯兰经济制度的伟大。它是唯一能够组织人类事务、保障其基本需求、实现其真正福祉的制度。

Secondly, determining the type of ownership is related to the economic resources themselves and the economic system’s view towards the distribution of wealth. This is because wealth includes what is, and what is not, to be privatized. Since capitalism basically means the increase and development of wealth, it does not mean the distribution of wealth. Capitalism asserts that all economic resources are to be privatized. This is wrong, because economic equity in any of the societies necessitates differentiation in types of ownership, thereby distributing wealth and preventing the concentration of wealth within groups. Moreover, taking care of the rights of groups mandates a certain type of ownership of public utilities, such as minerals and energy. Accordingly, the fact is that properties must not to be limited to private property alone. Instead, they are to be actually differentiated into private property, public property and state property. Each of these three divisions are distinct in Islam, unlike Capitalism and Socialism, which testifies to the greatness of the Islamic economic system. It is the only system that is capable of organizing the affairs of humans to ensure their basic needs, achieving their true well-being.
