The working class serves as the foundation of any society. It is this class that transforms ideas and concepts into tangible reality through their labor and technical skills. However, it is often the case that only the dreamer and designer of these ideas receive recognition, while the builders remain anonymous. Countless wonders on Earth, such as skyscrapers, expansive highways, factories emitting vibrant smoke, and colossal machines, are the products of the tireless efforts of the working class. The beautiful homes, places of worship, and peaceful destinations that surround us are all fruits of their labor.

Every individual must engage in some form of work for their survival. However, there are those who work solely for their own self-interest, while others work for the betterment of others. Those who work for the welfare of others receive compensation for their hard work, known as wages. In the eyes of the capitalist, the worker becomes a mere tool, devoid of feelings and emotions, treated as a means to maximize production alongside materials and machines. This creates a conflict between the worker and the capitalist, leading to protests, strikes, and rebellions. As a consequence, society falls prey to expediency, self-interest, and selfishness, paving the way for hypocrisy, anxiety, and inequality. If this situation remains unresolved, conflict and civil unrest become inevitable.

The conflict between capitalists and workers has persisted since ancient times, but it reached its pinnacle during the Industrial Revolution. In response, numerous labor movements emerged, demanding an end to exploitation. Human rights organizations became active, and global discussions on workers' rights gained momentum. Charters were drafted, and "May 1" was recognized as Labor Day by the United Nations. However, exploitation continues to persist, and it will persist until there is a fundamental shift in the capitalist mindset and a generous acknowledgment of the rights of laborers.

Action plan

The livelihood earned through manual labor is highly valued, and those who engage in such work are beloved by Allah. However, it is unfortunate that throughout history, workers have often been treated as third-class citizens and subjected to inhumane treatment. Yet, it is an undeniable truth that the flow of business and life itself is impossible without the labor of workers. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that workers are granted their rights. At the same time, it is important to address the concerns of the capitalists, as both parties play an essential role in the functioning of society. To achieve this, the following steps can be taken:

1 Eliminating misunderstandings and transforming antagonism into harmony: Intellectual discussions and workshops should be organized to promote mutual understanding and cooperation between employers and workers.

 2 Giving special attention to the professional development of workers: Efforts should be made to enhance the skills and expertise of workers, enabling them to be more effective and productive in their respective fields. This can be achieved through vocational training, educational programs, and providing opportunities for continuous learning and growth.

By promoting understanding, respect, and professionalism between employers and workers, we can create an environment that values the contributions of all individuals and fosters a harmonious and prosperous society.
