Do you find that the world is operating so polarizing different from what Islam teaches us? I’m not talking about working long hours or things like that, but more so from the perspective of focusing on greed, being self centric, and focusing on personal gain instead of service. I worry about the future.

If anything, I find it comforting as it further reinforces that Islam is the truthful path.

All the things that the world is seemingly operating on hasn’t exactly made the world a better place. We are seeing firsthand destruction of basic societal structures and norms

You are right this does reinforce the true path of Islam

I feel this deeply. It’s hard seeing the world prioritize greed and self-interest when Islam teaches us about service, community, and compassion. It can feel isolating, but I remind myself that small acts of kindness and integrity still matter. We can’t control the world, but we can live by our values and make a difference.

This is such a good reminder and makes me think of the Rumi quote - “yesterday I was smart so I tried to change the world, today I am wise so I change myself.”

As a woman and someone with science background, I find some of the “world” views much more liberating than what Islam teaches us. There are lots of views in the world that promote community service, social trust, equality and openness to other cultures.

Greed has always existed in the world. Even the history of Islam was based on conquest and violence which was a result a greed.

P1 - I agree with the examples you provided, and I see those in Islam as well. The opportunities Khadija had (wife of Holy Prophet), the fact that the poor were looked after by the community so directly.

I find lots of parallels between Islam and Buddhism for example you look at Sufi lessons and mysticism.

My view as a Muslim is accepting to cultures and learning from them, but never forgetting my Lord and trusting in HIM, for he is all-knowing, all-wise.

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?
