The answer

There are books that refuted communism, such as: "Al-Kayd al-Ahmar - Communism" by Al-Maydani, and "The Red Cancer" by Abdullah Azzam.

As for absurdism, it is a literary and intellectual school that does not restrict itself to human values, is influenced by Freud's ideas, and is based on the fear of the universe. Although it attributes the loss of humanity in the West to spiritual emptiness, it does not commit itself to any religious values. Therefore, its intellectual output must be viewed with caution.

Regarding anarchism, it is refuted by clarifying the purpose for which humanity was created: worship, developing the earth, and stewardship therein. This can only be achieved by learning the texts of revelation, the Book and the . Only those with a firm grounding in the knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah should engage in discussions with proponents of deviant ideas.
