The Literal Meaning of ﴿انام﴾:
By ﴿انام﴾ is meant every living creature that is found on the face of the earth, whether they are animals or birds, livestock or beasts, humans or jinn. And by ﴿انام﴾, it is more appropriate to take it as referring to humans and jinn, since the mention of these two kinds is coming up ahead. The meaning is that the sustenance of all creatures living on the earth has been made dependent on the earth itself. This is their place of birth, their dwelling, and their burial ground.
Refutation of the Communist Ideology:
From this verse, the proponents of communism have tried to derive their ideology that the land should be taken into the possession of the government, and then it should provide sustenance to all individuals. For the refutation of this ideology, it is sufficient to note that the meaning of ﴿انام﴾ is not just humans, but all living creatures. Then, several objections also arise regarding this: for example, will all the produce of the land be distributed, or manufactured goods? And is it even possible for every individual to be given an equal share in the state? And today, this ideology has in practice also been declared invalid.
