    I agree with Abdal Hakim Murad. I have lived in Thailand, Brazil, Dominican Republic and Peru (all poor countries) and I found for myself that the people in these countries were on average much kinder and more generous than in my own wealthy country (Britain). I have come to dislike the company of the rich and the well educated (with few exceptions) because they tend to have harder hearts and more arrogance than the poor and less well educated.

    Some constructive criticism. Please practice your questions before asking. The questions took an age and were incoherent at some points.
    Should have got more out of such a great thinker of our times. I believe the interviewer was trying to ask if Muslims should take a lead in innovation, technology and finance in order to lead the way rather than taking a passive herd following approach.
    Bottom line is, Shaykh leans towards the akhira an not dunya.

And this "wealth" has unfortunately seeped in to imams now and when you challenged shakh by mentioning Abu hanifa and imam Malik may Allah be pleased with them, you were caught out by your lack of understanding of the times. This is not an attack, I appreciate your response but this money disease that everyone seems that inspired by is a real issue amongst Muslims in the west.

    Jordan Peterson and Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad should have a dialogue in Cambridge. Their combined insights would be greatly appreciated by many, similar to the impact of the Hamza Yusuf interview. Discussing the "religion of nature" (dīn al-fiṭrah) with Jordan, especially in relation to our inherent nature and understanding of evolutionary history and archetypes, would be enlightening. They can explore the balance of psychology, spirituality, and philosophy. The points made by Shaykh Murad on 'The Nature of Nature' delving into the philosophical and psychological implications of human understanding of the self from an islamic point of view would resonate with and potentially complement Jordan's expertise, bridging any gaps in his islamic understanding of Fitra and Submission.

    Islamic teachings emphasize balance, ethical progress, and stewardship of the earth. The Quran advocates for sustainable development and warns against corruption and wastefulness. In finance, Islam prohibits usury and promotes fairness and transparency. Regarding technological advancements like the Metaverse, Islam encourages knowledge but stresses ethical use and maintaining human dignity, ensuring that digital progress aligns with real-life responsibilities and moral principles.

    Ill answer the maximization question bro.
    In capitalism the driving principle is to maximize profits for the shareholders (stakeholders) at any cost.
    In Islamic economy the driving principle is to maximize benifit for the citizens.
    For example in an islamic system if govt decided on a project they would take survey and offer companies to propose. Once all the proposals and bids come in the community would choose that project which would most benifit the most number of citizens.

    Amazing by the sheikh everything was very well said.
    However, disagree on the point of creating a new Muslim identity in the west, without the connection back home, Muslims will disintegrate within modern western culture. Also, we have a responsibility to keep the Muslims connected to the Muslim world that needs us spiritually and financially.
    The Muslim world will always be the centre of the rise of a new Islamic civilisation, European Muslims will be followers to the ancient scholars and the wealth of knowledge in the Muslim world, not the other way round.
    Moreover, the abandonment of your native tongue is not a good decision if you’re planning on maintaining a traditional Islam. We need people that will read classical text and be able to bridge that gap with the Muslim world and not limit themselves to western thinkers or orientalists.
    None Muslims have been embracing Islam and falling for the culture of the Muslim world, not the other way round.
    The western world will not consider Islam as a serious contender unless they see countries in the Muslim world developing and producing better models based on Islam.
    Islam will never be included in western governance and the curve is currently dipping in favour of anti Islam sentiment, more rise in right wing and extreme left groups will keep alienating religions even further, not least the most practiced of them.
    We must maintain our heritage and culture in the western world. Nothing wrong with a person adapting themselves when with their family and community and when they’re at work, that does not mean giving up on your Muslim identity, in fact it’s the opposite, if anything, your culture and values will help you in maintaining your religious morals and values. All the evidence suggests that Muslims that live in detached communities are less traditional, more open to liberal ideas and don’t have a true sense of belonging, and feel marginalised and secluded, all you have to do is look at scattered Muslim communities of the USA.
    Who will feel and remember the struggles of the Palestinians? Kashmiris? Uyghurs? Yemenis? And any plight that hits the centre of the Muslim world. The shaikh himself goes to the Muslim world to feel Islam and live Islam, he also mentioned how the western world is so depressed. Helping to establish the Muslim world is much easier than imagining you can change legislation to suit an Islamic narrative in a morally corrupt western society.

    IFG did a great job in interviewing the shayekh, imo. I love the man for his brilliant talks and he just oozes a different class, but it is important to note that even deep philosophical or spiritual knowledge has to be translated into practicalities. Which is why both sufis and businessmen have their places in Islam and you cannot be sufficient with just the sufi anymore than you'd be with just the businessman. I think this is the first interview I've seen where shayekh Murad didn't have the necessary answer, and that in a sense is a credit to him and to Islam imo

      Brother fahim.
      We need only Sufis who renounce the Dunya in their hearts. This is the goal of our religion.
      But in agreement to the spirit of your comment, some Sufis are encouraged to seek the Dunya to help others if they have the capacity/acumen to do so while striving to keep the Dunya away from their hearts. Others who are not suited are limited to what is obligated. Yes we need both, if that what was meant in your first comment.
      Many saints and friends of Allah were rich, but their wealth was truly primarily to help others and the Ummah. They said O Allah make the Dunya in our hands (so it could be an instrument to do good) not in our hearts (so we don't get attached to it).

      Haroon, you are making a very important point. I wish there was a hour long substantive panel discussion just on this point probing it from various angles. There is a statement attributed to Ali(RA) on this (I am paraphrasing) : "as long as wealth is in your hand, and not in your heart, it is ok"
      However, the discussion needs to delve into the tangible realities of today's world, including how much time one should spend daily towards acquiring wealth, to what extent and for what purpose we can depend on the credit mechanism of modern banking system, etc.

    Language is not just language but shapes our way of thinking, in pakistani languages simple things like how you call your elders has a element of reverence and respect attached to it. You see family bonds and parent respect lost more in the gen who are more British. I think another undeniable aspect is modesty, sadly look at a lot of third gen sisters and brothers they have very little concept of modesty because they have very little of their parents culture and are fully adapted to British culture. That's why they struggle with hijab because that socialisation through culture doesn't happen and they have no sense of hayah or shame. That's because the west long ago did away with that. Not saying everything is bad and we can learn and meet half way, but I think lots of important aspects of culture should be preserved especially language which connects to a larger part of the ummah outside of just britian

    A bit surprised that although Zakat was mentioned very briefly, the importance of using wealth to help aid so many millions of Muslims living in poverty. Mothers who see their children crying with hunger daily. The importance for vastly wealthy going behind just Zakat. Instead poverty was talked of as a kind of ascetic ideal😮

    Please do not tell impoverished Umma in Africa and South Asia that a materially rich life is an unhappy life. The whole argument is like false Christian sayings i.e. “The meek shall inherit the earth” (from Mathew 5:5) and “It is easier for camel to pass through eye of needle than a rich man to enter Kingdom of God” (Luke 18:25) which falsely glorify poverty, social injustices and dis-empowerment. Be mindful that Strong family ties, in same geographies, often comprise of extreme patriarchy, nepotism and “Family Honour” interfering with decision making (i.e. about career and partner) that leads to simmering life-long unhappiness.
    Sitting in Cambridge or west, where millions of Muslims migrated and made it good, now telling us it is not worth, sounds shallow and hypocritical. Denouncing Secularism, Democracy and Liberalism, the very things that helped Islam take root in west, and harking back to Khilafat, Islamic Banking, and Sharia penal codes is not the recipe for wellness. Islam needs reforms as much (if not more) as West; particularly those aimed at curtailing intolerance, ignorance of STEM subjects, militant Jihadism, and this "otherness" about other faiths and most critically empowerment of women.
    And Mr. Murad is wrong in saying that Income levels have no correlation with Happiness; just check the rankings of nations in World Happiness Report and Human Development Index (which correlated to per head GDP; very strongly so in poor HDI countries). If rich men are having counselling sessions it is mostly because they can afford one.

Sitting in Cambrifge or west where millions of Muslms migrated and made it good, some of them telling us it is not worth sounds shallow and akin to "Munafiqat".

    Reading the description of the video about 'Who we are' and what Shaykh Hakim Murad has been saying.... there obviously is a huge disconnect. While IFG tries to empower muslims to be better off with physical wealth, the answer given by the Shaykh is that wealth in essence is the state of the heart, not physical cash or assets.
    Looks like its time for IFG to go back to the drawing board 🤭😁 The sufis have the answer all along.

    I would have preferred a more optimistic outlook. There are many people who are positively influencing the world and are making great progress in curbing harmful technologies and helping to improve the environment. There are also quite a lot of scientists who don't believe that global warming is caused by men but rather cyclical. I would've preferred if Mr. Murad went a bit more into the positives and spoke about a lot of people actually wanting to go back to traditions and seeking connection with nature and mankind. A lot of the doom and gloom by western politicians, public figures, and globalists is meant to keep people in a state of angst and separation. Only Allah knows best.
