God is the one who knows like what's going to be best for us, what's going to be most fulfilling for us, and what's most functional for us as individuals and the family and a marriage and society.
So he's given us a template with details and that's been preserved like over 1400 years since it was revealed in the Quran.
And then we want to preserve that.
We want to abide by that.
And we
and feel that that's fulfilling, that's satisfying, that is something that gives us a kind of happiness and self-containment that is not found outside of that.
And if you kind of get into this space where, no, no, no, we have to progress, anything that comes from the past is backwards, like that's from the Stone Ages, like this kind of mentality that only the latest is the greatest, what's fresh is the best, that mentality, then you have to get rid of all religions, you have to get rid of all cultures, you have to get rid of all
traditional ways of life.
And then what do you come away with?
It's like a malaise.
It's like being lost that many people do feel like, I don't really know how to live my life.
I don't see, fine, I just go with what I've known, what I've seen from others, from society.
It's like peer pressure.
But what is actually ultimately the purpose of this?
And a lot of people have this kind of existential dread.
Yeah, it'd be hard to picture a society without religion.
Well, a lot of people have been working towards that.
A lot of people have been working towards society without religion.
There's been more extreme programs for that, like with communism, right?
Communism deliberately viewed religion as something that needs to be eliminated.
