| '''Communism is Islam''' is a thesis developed by Haz Al-Din across Infrared lectures (notably the three-part series on Islam and dialectical materialism, October–November 2021): that communism, correctly understood, is not a Western secular import alien to Muslim societies but the political actuality of Islam's own social teachings.

| == Argument sketch ==
| |
| * Islam's core socio-economic prescriptions — zakat, prohibition of riba (usury), the unity of the ummah — constitute a real social program against usury-finance capital.
| |
| * The history of anti-colonial struggle in the Muslim world was simultaneously religious and social-revolutionary; secularism was imposed by colonial powers to fragment it.
| |
| * Dialectical materialism and tawhidic monotheism are compatible: matter's self-development reflects the rational order of creation (see [[Tawhid]]).
| |
| * Hence "communism" as a name for the classless community of believers and workers is a translation, not a betrayal, of Islamic eschatology into political economy.
