Variance of capability

"The Quran accepts that different individuals possess different abilities in earning their livelihood – both in terms of talent type and capacity to work (We will not go into how these differences between individuals develop and how they can be minimised here). At this stage we will accept that these differences exist, so our aim is merely to project the Quranic viewpoint in this regard. The Quran states that due to variations in individuals’ abilities, different affairs of society are accomplished easily (43:32). However it also warns that people must not allow different abilities to create economic inequality in the society. The Quran has therefore explicitly stated in Sura Al Nahl (The Bee) that whilst differences exist in the abilities of individuals, this does not mean that those who possess a higher capability to earn should be allowed to keep their extra earnings as their own property. They must return any surplus earnings to benefit other (less well-off) assisting members of the community without whom they would not have earned a surplus in the first place. Many people oppose this concept and say: ‘How strange is this? This allows superiors and subordinates alike to become equal.’ People who say this are deluded with the notion that the higher capability they have is their own creation (i.e. they fail to see that were endowed with their talents by Allah). However this capability is not their own creation; it is a gift given by Allah, and it is one they receive for free (16:53, 16:71)."
 
I complete agree with what's being said. I have been thinking on similar terms for sometime now. It requires fundamental shift in attitudes and purpose in life.

What do you guys think?
