Usually when I have discussions with non Muslims about Islam it’s never academic as it’s almost never about the teachings of the scripture or religion. It’s always country A or person B. When Muslims are 2 billion different people And Muslim majority countries vary economically socially linguistically culturally historically etc.. especially taking into consideration that throughout history some of the “best “ and “advanced “ nations and kingdoms were ruled by Muslims . So “Islam “ making a country backward or less advanced proven by history to be untrue. 🌿 Last but not least, I leave a verse from the Quran i like :
The prosperity / advancement of a land can change with the blink of an eye It’s always what’s in the heart. Hence I don’t really care when a non Muslim shouts how bad the situation is in country A or country B Oh and top of that leaving other normal advanced Muslim countries
I admire Islam but even your own scholars see validity in how Islam doesn’t allow room for change . It has stifled many societies. Any golden age ended with the introduction of Islam . MBS has been admitting it for half a decade while not admitting it . I believe there will be another Islamic revolution , again in Iran. It will be a reformation . It will happen in 2-4 years .
Prophet Mohammed never said you can’t work Friday Just during Friday prayer There wasn’t even the concept of weekend back then So I don’t see a problem with uae making it monday to Friday if it’s better for their economy Just like Saudi shifted it from Thursday-Friday to Saturday -Sunday
Actually the majority support MBS Only the brainwashed ppl from the effect of the movement in 1970 Do not My mom back in Saudi Arabia in her young age she did not wear hijab or Abaya It was not a thing to enforce it , it was a choice which is the real Islam.
But with the extreme movement that suddenly entered saudi , they made it obligatory But for many years now it has become a choice once again Lol so is MBS now going against islam or returning real Islam? See it’s confusing circules judging Islam by how country A or B functions
