Means Justifies End
This phrase means that the channel to achieve certain target has more importance than the target itself. It is prophetic idea and was also propagated by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Perhaps, Islamic principles are based on this ideology; where good-working-intentions has more value than the material gain. Accordingly the pious and the rational ways and means to accomplish a target enhance the health of the target. Moreover, the application of this theory disregards the culture of materialism in the society. Correspondingly the justice and peace prevails in the society.
Similarly, the pious ways and means have far reaching sunny ramifications. For instance Abdul Sattar Edhi disregards the worldly gain and helps the humanity through his moral ways and means. indeed he has good intentions to alleviate the suffering of the humanity, surely in doing so he has the overwhelming help of GOD.
On contrary, the consequentialism gave huge blow to the human history. The greediness and lustfulness have stained the annals of human. In this case all the impious means are utilize to get material supremacy over one and other. The two great world wars utter very loudly about the irrational application of this inhuman ideology.
Thus, the given phrase;means justifies end, is counter to the materialism.
