Abstract
This article discusses the uniqueness of religion among other academic disciplines. Religion is almost exclusively approached as an object of study. This paper presents a descriptive criticism of Islam in Marx's critique of religion. The study then found that Islam and Marxism are essentially a contradiction particularly striking in view of the unity (tauhid). Marx said, based on the philosophy of Marxism; man makes religion and religion does not make the man. However, Islam believes in the spiritual concept of the infinite in which Islam describes the man as the ground; land; ground, or it can be said that religion, in this case, God created man, not vice versa.
