The Role of the Three Creative Principles in the Shaping of Religion 127 doubt that the orthodox clergy would ever desire to be rewarded with such a paradise. With one forlorn woman, one forlorn forbidden tree and a few trees laden with fruit of course, but plenty of snakes around! And the promise of proper clothing is broken, as Adam and Eve open their eyes and find themselves naked. No clothes to be had, no shelter to cover their heads. The nearest thing to clothing are nothing but a few fallen leaves of the tree of paradise. One really wonders as to whether any righteous person would ever crave to be admitted to this glorious paradise! Alas, they do not see! This certainly is not the paradise promised in the Quran to believers as a reward for their sacrifices. This (the paradise of Adam as and Eve) is no more than an image of an economic society based on the philosophy of scientific socialism as presented by Karl Marx. This is the very first promise vouchsafed to man through the story of Adam as and Eve. This can be referred to as the first charter of fundamental human rights and even that is more advanced than the vision of paradise on earth of the scientific socialists. A closer study of socialist philosophy would fully support our view that Marxism/Leninism remains confined to only three fundamental rights and no more. What is beyond is optional, and may or may not be provided. All that is guaranteed by scientific socialism is the right to be fed, the right to be sheltered, and the right to be clothed.
