The Difference Between Communism and Freemasonry

Question:
Another question: What is the difference between communism and Freemasonry?

The Shaykh:
Communism has its own nature, and Freemasonry has its own nature. As for communism: their position is well known. They openly declare that there is no religion, no Lord, no God, no Paradise, no Hell, or anything else. They claim that wealth is shared among people and that women are shared among people.
As for Freemasonry, according to what has been reported: they openly display brotherhood and equality, claiming that a person should be like another person in terms of brotherhood and equality. They deny religion, the Shari'ah, and everything else, advocating only for human brotherhood. This is what has been said and written extensively about Freemasonry: they display brotherhood and equality, which means denying religions and denying everything. They want people to be with one another without religion, without following a Shari'ah, without faith in a Lord, and without anything else, but rather like livestock. We ask Allah for safety from this.
They meet the communists in denying the Hereafter and denying the prophets. However, the communists differ from them in seeking control, superiority among people, oppressing people, monopolizing wealth, and spreading obscenity among people. These people lean toward control, ruling, and oppressing people. The Freemasons, on the other hand, lean toward calming the situation among people. They deny religions and call for them easily, using a soft method without harshness, so that a person is with another person based on nothing, but merely on humanity alone, like an animal.
