Muslims in an Age of Crisis with Ahmed Paul Keeler and Imam Tom Facchine

The Thinking Muslim

NOTE

Questioning the Pursuit of Prestige and Materialism

The speaker questions the obsession with the lives of celebrities and public figures, as well as the pursuit of cultural forms and strategies of soft power. Drawing parallels to the story of Qaroon from the Quran, the speaker criticizes the desire for treasures and baubles at the expense of morality and humanity. The call to reflect on the values being pursued and to strive for a change in societal systems is emphasized.
