    Once one of my sons said Islam is complicated. I then answered, "Without Islam life is complicated. Islam makes life simple." Of course I explained little by little the concrete examples of how Islam simplifies life. It is practical and beautiful. I am blessed to live in a time where I can see the consequenses when society isn't following Islam. I can give real incidents in society which happen because they don't know Islam.

    As someone who grew up in the East (Muslim world), I have noted that we have this inferiority complex when referring to anything pertaining to western values, unfortunately. The more I learn, I have come to realise that it's nothing but a bogus perspective we have, perhaps as a consequence of British colonialism. Your videos are a breath of fresh air brother Shahid.

    I'm Scottish and think everything about Italians is wonderful - wish I were Italian! Generally speaking I think many British people admire Europeans and other nations of the world but I can't speak for everyone obviously. Our political system and people operating it often have delusions of adequacy and are a constant source of embarrassment. Probably this is because Britain has been a vassal state of the USA since WW2 and isn't a real independent state! Our politicians main tactic is divide and rule at home and abroad to deflect from their bad management. Shahid's observation that western politicians don't think elections should ever change anything is so true.

    Could you make a video sharing how you research a topic and verify credibility of sources ?
    I hate having to need people to learn history for me and explain it to me but don't know how to go about studying it and knowing which documentation of history is 'true'.
    Jazakhallah for the videos.

      All historical documentation is false to some extent, history is always written by the victors, there are no shortcuts, you'll have to learn it yourself, meticulously and critically assembling pieces

    As Salam A'laykum,
    Can we say that the best definition of the "West" is what it is not?
    I mean :
    after WWI, the West was what was not German.
    After WWII, the West was what was not Soviet.
    Now it is what is not Muslim.
    Or is it too big of a stretch intellectually speaking?

    As Salam A'laykum,
    Other question : Allah Knows Best, but do you see this "civilization" falling anywhere soon or has it still in your opinion some more centuries of tricks in its bag?

    • @MiddleNation

      The civilization has failed, but I assume you are talking about the power and influence of the US (basically). While there are a lot of nuanced details to this discussion (which I hope to explore), the short answer is that they will continue to have power and influence for the foreseeable future.
