Man is bound by his needs in such a way that living alone becomes impossible, forcing him to live in society. Aristotle aptly referred to man as a social animal. Within society, people engage in buying and selling, giving rise to the process of trade. The advancement of communication media and electronic means of communication further facilitated this. Small businesses grew into factories, and groups of industries emerged. Domestic companies expanded internationally, transforming business into various complex forms. Business gurus have now become institutes that offer comprehensive business education at affordable rates.

Every human being becomes a customer to another human being for their needs, thus becoming a potential victim in the eyes of the other, who aims to maximize profit. When everyone sees others as potential victims, the level of greed and selfishness in society escalates, leading to a world of social exploitation and self-centeredness. Such a society teeters on the edge of civil unrest and is at risk of collapsing at any moment.
The only solution to combat these unnatural thoughts and desires is to establish a society based on Mustafai consciousness and principles. The first principle of a Mustafai society is that "a Muslim is one from whom other Muslims are safe in terms of both their words and actions." The second principle states that "a person cannot truly have faith until they wish for their brother what they wish for themselves." Lastly, the third principle asserts that "the best among people is the one who is most beneficial to others."
