Salam aalaykum! I really appreciate the lecture. I have noticed that our ummah lacks figures like you, figures that not only paves the path , but also carry students, like me, and next generation Muslim for a better future. I will highly support similar interventions 😁

Hello, enjoyed your talk, although just one fact check…you had mentioned that the average lawyer, etc would or should have savings or net worth anywhere between 10m and 30m by the time they reach 60. I find this highly unlikely taking into account that the median salary for a lawyer outside the big 4 is 100k

Ray Dalio's done loads of research into how empires started, grew and waned. Suggest that is read also. TLDR it starts with education.

@fesall323 Месяц назад

I think this sort of stuff is very beneficial and I really think you brothers are doing a lot of good, may you be rewarded immensely for it. I do have some criticism, I'd love a response or directions to responses. First I'd just like to ask is the average income really a meaningful metric? I ask because by most accounts, the gap between rich and poor has been increasing now for decades around the globe. Even in America, the gap between the ultra rich and poor is huge. This difference in wealth between people's is unprecedented in human history. If we're taking all such peoples wealth into account, how is that average meaningful when some are absurdly rich? I've no doubt non muslims are richer than Muslims, just as I have no doubt Westerners on average are richer than most non westerners bar a few exceptions. There's a lot there that has to do with colonialism and a world order emerging from it that is biased to favour its rulers (US Empire currently). Nobel prize isn't a good measure of how good things are or intellectual capabilities of a people. In fact, like many other institutions, this is an institution set up by Western powers, which no doubt is baised to it. You said things start with education, but isn't it wealth really? Western Europe enriched itself through colonialism and to this day have had the ability to invest in universities and research. Ofcourse poorer countries might not necessarily have had the luxury to do this in the same manner. But another point here is the importance of something being "Nobel prize" worthy is somewhat subjective and baised to the culture it was born from. How can it be a measure of success for the ummah when it is tied to a set of values, not necessarily instep with ours? Because who decides what is a great discovery depends on their vision for society and how they define human flourishing or their beliefs in the future. Alot of the physics research went into producing nuclear warheads. Those scientists won the prize including one pakistani. But are humans now better off with this technology than not? Has humanity and nature benefited and will they only continue to benefit from this? If a chemistry breakthrough increases battery capacity significantly or revolutionises how many transistors we can have on a cpu chip, that will surely win the Nobel prize. But that's only because this society and its culture inherently views technological progress as a positive thing, rather than a neutral thing with both negative and positive potentialities. That's because it's tied to their post enlightenment era doctrine of progress, a doctrine I might add, which had dire consequences for the rest of the world and for nature, yet served a good justification for them. The point is we don't necessarily need to win awards from institutions set up by a world order that function on our exploitation and opression. Further more it doesn't measure contribution to society. Ask the descendants of black slaves about their contribution to making US what it is. Or the millions of slave labourers without whom, the absurd profit margins of the world's largest companies and brands would not be a thing.

@fesall323 Месяц назад

Add to that, how many blacks people have a Nobel prize, compared to Jews or Europeans? How many east Asians in comparison to US and western europe? You'll find that the west far outperforms the east but I don't think this is something that can be read into too much. Japan has 29 laureates, whereas Korea and China have 1 and 13 respectively. The point of the Jews is interesting because how much of those Jews actually were historically and culturally and (probably to a significant extent ethnically) ties to western europe, its money and institutions. Asking why so many failed to achieve this award from non western countries from regions directly or indirectly suffering at the hands of a opressive hegemonic order is a bit ridiculous in my eyes.

@fesall323 Месяц назад

This is a bit long, but the last point is about technology solving problems. That is something I'm sceptical about. I don't think tech companies solves real world problems any more than I think McDonald's solves food problems. Ie, I think technology and business in general in this society is more and more detached from any ethical grounds and is more about increasing material gain and exploiting the people in someway to extract resources from them. McDonald's successfully exploited human weakness and urges for fatty food and made a whole load of money while ruining peoples health (as did coke). Facebook and twitter did the same thing while exploiting the human psyche to increase rention in order to sell advertisers eyes and consumer data. But I think the end net effect on human society is not necessarily positive. I'd argue Facebook did more harm to society than good, and there were some non muslim whistle blowers who worked there who thought the exact same thing. Muslims need to understand how exploitative big business is and the dystopian realities that tech can and is enabling. This will allow us to step back, connect with divine guidance and enter in a more aware manner. Lastly some things I thing need addressing, bayt al hikmah is still debated exactly what it was or the nature of what happened their, weather it was a library, for translations or actual place of learning. I just thought you may wish to know this. Second thing is that twitter and companies like it are built by riba, how can we Muslims get such success while not falling into riba? Twitter despite the investments and riba based loans, has for most of its existence not turned profit and even now I doubt it is. Lastly Muslims need to invest and build infrastructure even in tech but the capital required can only come from goverments. Unfortunately muslim goverments are shortsighted and perfectly happy to be dependent. This comes to the last issue, which is that you can't speak on economics without politics, a United middle East as it was in all its peak eras would control the route from east to west, would have a lot of manpower and wealth. The problem there is imply politically the Muslim world is still under th3 boot of neocolonials and their puppet masters

@IFGuru Месяц назад

These are all fair points well articulated. The point of this talk is not to necessarily opine on the "yardstick" of success it is to show provactively and clearly that according to conventional yardsticks we are way off. Clearly money is a means to an end. And the end is the thing that really matters.

@AMokeddem-wf2sx Месяц назад

I have an answer for the noble prize point because i got this question from my own younger brother who is much more religious than i am; you can forget about the existence noble prize and ask yourself how many research papers and innovations and discoveries the muslim people living in the west have contributed to , you will still discover that it is way much more less than the jews and asians ( who aren't european ) that had technically the same opportunities as our people.
