Materialism has become a defining feature of modern society. The relentless pursuit of material wealth and possessions has resulted in a society that values possessions over people, and materialistic ideals over spiritual ones. In "Materialism: The Downfall of Society," we explore the Islamic philosophical approach to materialism and its effects on society. Drawing from the literature of Shaheed Murtaza Mutahhari, an influential Islamic scholar, we examine the underlying causes of materialism and its negative impact on society.

We begin by examining the historical approach to materialism, delving into the story of Korah and early Islamic history, particularly the events of Karbala. Through this lens, we gain a deeper understanding of the roots of materialism and the ways in which it has been perpetuated throughout history.
