If we could compile a form of Islamic Communism that takes principles from both Prophet Muhammad's teachings/laws in conjunction with certain Communist ones such as Marxism-Leninism or Maoism?
Muhammad himself was very much a revolutionary who fought for the oppressed and poor. Oppression and exploitation as in the manner of Primitive Accumulation is also considered non-halal and strictly forbidden in an Islamic state. Combine this with the political or economic teachings of Communism and you could have the greatest ideology. Even the Soviet Union's collapse would not have happened if it was Islamic.
Take a look at the Islamic Golden Age, greatness achieved with halal methods where exploitation and forced participation was not allowed.
Praise be to Allah and his Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon you Communist friends, I hope you hear his message and that some of you may consider including some of their teachings in your movement. It is bound to help you succeed greatly in crushing this immoral as well as exploitative system.
There is no god but Allah with his messenger Muhammad. Capitalism is the system of the Dajjal and the Jew that forces people to worship the non-existent false god of materialism or money and capital.
Marxism is a science. Islam is a reactionary religion. They are literally polar opposites

You will not find any success here because much of this site is full of islamophobic whitoids/mutts.
That being said, Islam and capitalism cannot co-exist. Capitalism features usury, greed and exploitation. Any truly Islamic economy would have to be based on socialism.

You do know that one of the golden ages of science was heavily linked to and influenced by Islam? Religions and science can co-exist. The metaphysical cannot adequately be explained by science, everything else can. Islamic scholars recognized this and pioneered the fields of mathematics, medicine, chemistry and astronomy. Socialism would allow Islamic people - just like any other people really - to enter a new golden age, based on scientific advancement, progress in society and the promotion of arts and culture.

I think the Soviet Union would have vastly benefited if it had allowed more freedom of religion. I recognize that the churches of old were tied to Czarist oppression, but after a few decades they could have eased it a bit. Strong repressions only cause strong counter-reactions: See how cucked the Falun Dafa have become, allowing themselves to be tools of the US empire. This wouldn't have happened had the Chinese state not cracked down so severly on them.
A too strong break from the past and tradition causes counter-reaction. What is left of Mao's cultural revolution? Not much. What is left of Soviet antitheism? Not much. They would have benefitted from promoting religious tendencies that are aligned with socialism, or mixing these thoughts. Liberation theology, protestant socialism, Islamic socialism and so on.

All religions should be strictly banned in a communist society, that isn't a question. And of course the destruction of every cathedral and Mecca and all the other shit too is a necessity, fucking bourgies burned churches in Belgium and France, anarchists burned churches, Stalin wanted to build that palace, burning down churches is one of the few activities free from sectarianism. I was disgusted at the fact that people were crying over poor Notre Dame, Hugo was just a male hysteric you know. 1793 is his best book btw
The golden age of Islam was due to them taking over what was then the handicraft/preindustrial economic core of the Christian world at the time, the breadbasket of the Mediterranean too, and also getting the Persians and Jews to translate a couple of metaphysix for them, so they could pacify and order their slave society after Poitiers and the failed sieges of Constantinople put an end to the primordial ordering of Islamic society under the purest of teachings, which was just rushing the weird crazy kaffirs who built those strange society things and taking all their shit

People underestimate the material basis and the importance of the roles the economy and technology played in those parts of the world even back then because they fell for the Dark Ages meme back in highschool. Even while Europe was deterritorialized and in a stagnation/ flux, China and Byzantium had actual governments with paper money and transcontinental trade, they also did industrial espionage on the chinks, and the relative stagnation of the West was due to collapsing structures which could only half keep the infrastructure maintained, it's not as if people magically forgot all the math shit and started praying to Jeebus.
People should really start reading the postclassical era materially.
A good point, the bourgeoisie revolutions allowed a variety of religions to exist themselves despite being against the Feudal religious institutions.
I would say about religion in accordance to the O.P that it seems Zoroastrianism is most compatible with Socialism. As it espouses 'good thoughts, actions and words' as first in comparison to 'faith' which plays a secondary role even.
This is in stark contrast to religious right pro-capitalist protestants that say 'only faith matters, work for the capitalist system and its all good'
