A Muslim is special and chosen in the sight of Allah with the belief he chooses. It is distinguished among the billions of people on earth. In terms of preference.
 
The characteristic of a Muslim is the way of life, principles, suggestions and morality of the Prophet to whom he is attached. A Muslim cares that his way of life is in accordance with both the divine and the Prophet's sunnah. He tries to live it in the same way.
 
Making politics also forms the way of life of a Muslim. This, in particular, identifies him with the principles and morals of the Prophet.
 
When today's political attitude becomes an area that detaches people from their essence, thinks about their own interests, and makes only politics for themselves, it moves away from the belief and morality of Islam. He would have made his choice in favor of that interest.
 
A Muslim is what he is with his morals, attitude and behavior. Only by being on a trusting understanding can one have the quality of being a true Muslim. A Muslim cannot be a pragmatist, he cannot act in the direction of his interests. If he has an understanding of life that will not harm both himself and Muslims, he will find a response in people.
 
We have published a series of articles on how Muslims can transition from the past to the present, how to establish a new language bond, and how today's Muslims can be an example for today's people.
 
People who do not give moral trust among futuwwa, guild and ahi brothers are excluded from their environment. Our aim in this series of articles was to show that those who do not comply with Islamic morality with an ethical stance should be excluded from society in a way.
 
Muslims have to sort through their priorities. Liar, pragmatist, self-interested, selfish people and environments, first of all, one's own dilemma is that one should get away. Today, however, political pragmatism has made people multifaceted like themselves. A leader should be true to the essence of Islam in the context of his moral attitude, behavior and principles, love and compassion, and patronage. According to the circumstances, the thought that I will be like this yesterday, like this today, and be like that tomorrow makes one unconvincing.
 
Leaders are pioneers. They look at the kits at their behavior, words and actions, they are affected. Both positive and negative.
 
It is obvious that people are greatly affected by today's political environment. They turn into aggressive, insulting, humiliating, proud and arrogant types. They can easily slander and insult those they see as rivals or opponents. Those who saw what was done yesterday as right for them can see the opposite today. They think that they have never done anything wrong in the past, when these mistakes come to the surface or when the politicians take a different attitude than them, they can turn from side to side like windmills.
 
There is only one example of Muslims, and that is the Prophet. Our Prophet never compromised on his principles throughout his life. He has always been about what is right, good and beautiful. Because he is a messenger who "come to complete good morals".
 
When will Muslims identify with the Prophet's morality and lifestyle?
 
Who and how can set an example for them at this time when people are being thrown away. With their hateful language and attitudes, or their distrust of their words and actions? With their quarrels and quarrels that drive people away from Muslims?
 
Then Muslims have to make a choice. He should equip himself with the morality of the Prophet and the Islamic faith. This is his duty.
 
The greatest jihad of a Muslim is moral. One cannot speak of the jihad of the immoral. Convincing others to believe is deceptive with today's attitude. If he is not moral, he should not talk about jihad and preaching. Jihad must first start from his own self and be moral.
