On the occasion of Ramadan, while we need to turn to ourselves as Muslims and make an account of ourselves, the fact that there are some negativities in the world, especially towards Muslims, makes this questioning even more necessary. Because, as Muslims, we always prefer to search for the faults of others, instead of trying to find answers to questions such as "What did I do today, which brother's heart did I hurt" and to get rid of those faults?
 
Beyond that, it's as if we have justified ourselves by investigating the faults of others, while we should first get rid of our own mistakes and flaws. However, the faults of others do not eliminate our faults. In particular, we take an approach as if exposing the faults of our brothers justifies us.
 
Instead of investigating the faults of others, when we put our head on the pillow in the evening, when we question ourselves, our mistakes and flaws in our lives will pass before our eyes, and this will give us the opportunity to review ourselves. Instead, we search for the faults of others, as if we were pulling a veil over our own faults. However, this is not possible. If we try to hide our faults, let alone from others, even from ourselves, we should not forget that all of them have a record before Allah.
 
This type of behavior has a social dimension as well as a personal dimension. Since we have to live together as a society, the way to create a peaceful society is that we need to turn towards each other with love and respect, and the provision of social peace is to get rid of our own faults rather than investigating the faults of others.
 
The month of Ramadan also lays the groundwork for us to do this internal reasoning. Making this internal accounting is a natural result of Muslims being brothers. However, considering the European Union membership as a target that still needs to be reached for our people, which has been under the influence of some cultures that have been imposed for many years and which have nothing to do with us, from this point of view, not forgetting this fact while making our internal reasoning, and that Muslims are now certain fake and unsuitable for us. He must give up on unrealistic goals.
 
When we can abandon the idealization of such goals to our people for the sake of some political calculations, we will be able to ensure peace not only in our own country, but also in the world, and a significant distance will be achieved in the establishment of Islamic Union. It is obvious that without the establishment of the Islamic Union, without taking the decisive role in the world, no result can be obtained other than surrender to the Westerners and pain, tears and conflicts.
 
In this respect, we need to review this month of Ramadan first in terms of an internal accounting and then the future of Muslims. Otherwise, it is not possible for the blood and tears to end in the Islamic world by surrendering to the Crusader-Zionist alliance. Our experience over the centuries clearly demonstrates this. In short, without the unity of Muslims, it is not possible for peace to come to them or to the world.
