A ƙarni na ashirin, akidar gurguzu ta shahara sosai a wurin wasu malaman jami'a Musulmai. Ga waɗannan Musulmai, gurguzu tana wakiltar kololuwar adalci. Tana wakiltar kololuwar wayewar duniya, domin Tarayyar Soviet a lokacin tana kan ganiya. Don haka waɗannan malaman jami'a Musulmai suka rubuta da himma game da yadda Musulmai suke buƙatar karɓar gurguzu, da kuma yadda Musulunci na gaskiya a cikin zurfinsa gurguzu ne. Suka fassara Alƙur'ani da Hadisi ta wannan fuska, suna nuna ayoyin da suka shafi zakka da sadaka a matsayin umarni daga Allah na hana mallakar dukiya ta kashin kai.

In the twentieth century, communism was very popular with a group of academic Muslims. For these Muslims, communism represented the peak of justice. It represented the peak of worldly civilization, as the USSR at that time was ascendant. So these Muslim academics wrote fervently about how Muslims needed to adopt communism and how true Islam was communist at its heart. They interpreted the Quran and hadith in that light, pointing to verses about zakat and sadaqa as divine directives against private property.

Tabbas, akwai sassa da dama na dokar Musulunci (fiqh) da ke ɗaukar wasu alaƙoƙin dukiya a matsayin abin da aka riga aka yarda da shi, amma saboda waɗannan sun saɓa wa gurguzanci, Musulmi masu gurguzanci sun kai wa fiqh hari, suka ce ta koma baya, rashin adalci ce, kuma babu komai a cikinta face karkatar da addinin Allah na gaskiya zuwa ga tsarin jari-hujja. A cewarsu, malaman farko (ulama) a fili suke kare muradun kansu a matsayinsu na masu mallakar dukiya, don haka suka ƙirƙiri fiqh domin ciyar da manufar masu jari (bourgeois) gaba, da kuma danne ma'aikata.

Of course, there were many parts of Islamic law that take certain property relations for granted, but since these conflicted with communism, the Muslim communists attacked the fiqh, called it backwards, unjust, and nothing but a capitalistic distortion of God’s true religion. According to them, the classical ulama were obviously just serving their own interests as property owners, so they created fiqh to advance their bourgeois agenda and oppress the working class.

Sauran Musulmai na zamanin sun yi tsayayya da wannan, suka nuna raunin hujjojinsu, kuma suka kare malamai daga zarge-zargen da ake musu. Bayan an ki su da hujja da kuma a cikin al'umma, waɗannan Musulmai sun ƙara tsananta kaɗan-kaɗan har suka yanke shawarar barin Musulunci gaba ɗaya. Ashe Marx bai ce addini shi ne maganin barci na talakawa ba? Ashe waɗannan Musulmai na gargajiya ba su ƙi adalci bayyananne na gurguzanci ba, da fahimtar tarihin abin duniya? Lallai Musulunci kansa ne matsalar.

Other Muslims of the day pushed back against this, poked holes in their arguments, and defended the ulama from their smears. Having been rebuffed intellectually and communally, these Muslims became more extreme little by little until they decided to leave Islam entirely. Didn’t Marx say that religion was the opiate of the people? Didn’t these traditional Muslims reject the clear justice of communism and the insights of historical materialism? It must be Islam itself that is the problem.

Don haka sun zama murtaddai, suka ƙi Musulunci tare da tumakin Musulmi da suka bi shi makaho. Duk da haka, suna da babban fata cewa nan gaba kaɗan hasken gurguzu zai rinjayi duhun al'adar Musulunci, kuma dukkan duniyar Musulmi za ta bi su zuwa wayewa.

So they became apostates and denounced Islam along with the Muslim sheep who followed it blindly. Despite it all, they had high hopes that in the near future the light of communism would overcome the darkness of the Islamic tradition and the entire Muslim world would follow them into enlightenment.

Jim kaɗan bayan haka, akidar gurguzu ta fita daga salo. Tarayyar Soviet ta rushe. Zuwa ƙarshen karni na ashirin, babu wanda ya ƙara tuna komai daga abin da waɗannan mutane suka rubuta ko suka yi kira da shi. Tafiyarsu ta zube a cikin bayan gida na tarihi.

Soon thereafter communism went out of vogue. The USSR fell. By the end of the twentieth century, no one remembered anything these people had written or advocated for. Their movement was flushed down the toilet of history.

Yau, masu tunanin zamantakewar al'umma (social justice) da masu sassaucin ra'ayi a cikin Musulmai — waɗanda a fili, cikin ƙarfin hali, suke kiran mutane zuwa ga fasikanci da rashin biyayya, suke zaginin malamai ba tare da kunya ba, kuma suke shuka rikici a zukatan Musulmai — suna kan hanya guda daidai da wannan. Allah ya hanzarta ƙarshensu!

Today’s social justice, liberal Muslims — openly, militantly calling people to fahisha and disobedience, brazenly slandering the ulama and sowing the seeds of confusion in Muslims’ hearts — are on the exact same path. May Allah expedite their fate!
