For tafsir, see Surah Bani Isra’il (14, 13) and Surah Kahf (49).

The Communist View Regarding Disabled People:

That is, all the deeds a person performed in worldly life and the effects he left behind are included in his striving, and all of these will be weighed in the scale of deeds. Some people with a communist mindset apply ﴿وَاَنْ لَّيْسَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ اِلَّا مَا سَعٰي﴾ to this material world and interpret it to mean that old and disabled people, who cannot work at all, should be killed so that they do not become an economic burden on society. Since they cannot earn, they should not receive anything either. Obviously, this meaning is derived by disregarding the context. Moreover, this view is completely contrary to Islam’s system of charity and zakat. Islam grants such disabled and needy people the right to live by fully supporting them. Therefore, this communist view is, from the Islamic perspective, false, baseless, and tantamount to spreading corruption on earth.
