I've noticed that there are a lot of people from the so-called right political spectrum around here. Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but I have also come across some extreme opinions. Overall, the tone leans towards "only the fittest survive," and I can understand why this attitude seems attractive to some, especially to those who are actually young, fit, and beautiful. However, one must consider that this is not the survival strategy of our species. We are not a species where the strong (or fit or strongest or whatever superlative) devours the weaker. We are a species that has come this far through cooperation and mutual assistance, if one can even claim that. Otherwise, the unfit genes would have long since become extinct. But they have survived because they filled some other niche that no one else could. And they were helped in all the areas where they apparently were not so fit. The MAGA ideal of muscle-bound, sun-tanned, fit Aryan people does not stand up to reality. There have also been people like Stephen W. Hawking among us who have advanced humanity in some way. Extremism in all political spectrums is unhealthy and unrealistic. Our species is a balanced, harmonious species. And God created us this way so that we can all learn from each other's strengths and learn to tolerate the less favorable aspects.

It's quite arrogant how advanced modern humans see themselves today. In the past, advanced poetry was considered entertainment, which today only literature students can understand. Meanwhile, the dumbest shows and memes flicker across our screens.

To be honest, it feels a bit sparse here compared to other platforms. But there seems to be genuine freedom, which makes up for it. Alhamdulillah.

When you embrace Islam, when you read Allah's word, the Qur'an, your world view changes. In everything. You get an idea of how things are connected and are partly no longer compatible with the worldview of many others. But that is not a reason for feelings of superiority, but for gratitude. Because it has been given to us; we did not deserve it. I know you find us strange, but you would understand if you were to walk the same path. We do not find you strange because we have already been where you are now. We are not against people, whether Muslim or non-Muslim; we are against the one who has sworn to mislead us all.
