We have our own world, and there are those that develop outside of us. We are always faced with choices in life. We are in a changing and transforming life. This is quickly pulling humanity in one direction.
 
The current state of humanity is entirely based on consumption. A wheel is turning. This impeller works only in one direction. The wheels always flow in one direction. The wheel of truth and thought both take a direction and go. The reality line of humanity is connected with the Truth. We came from Him and we will return to Him. We are between these two lines. Start and finish. Intermediate period is what people will do. Every step, every moment and every action determines his/her state.
 
Nations, like single people, have their own distinctive characters. The Muslim nation or the Christian nation has their own unique character. Beliefs and attachments are more decisive.
 
The living habits, acceptances, prohibitions and freedoms of the Islamic nation from childhood become more decisive. A Muslim knows that even a bite of an apple that does not belong to him is not halal for him. In this sense, in the history of humanity, it is seen as ordinary for Muslims but extraordinary for other nations. The sensitivity, delicacy and attention of the Islamic nation in the protection of harams is much more important in this sense. This is the reason why some situations still hold their position in the Islamic nation. In the global world, it is protective for Muslims even if everything gets mixed up.
 
Human value is a whole. In Islam, it is not determined by races or religions. Even if people are not Muslims, they are valuable as human beings. Since man is the most valuable being, he must be protected in all circumstances. Of course, precautions are taken for every situation that disrupts the order of humanity.
 
Alcohol is harmful to humanity. It's never a defense. This prohibition of Islam allows humanity to live in peace. Few or most of the pest is even indisputable.
 
The beginning is with little. This gradually takes its toll on life. It is not easy to discourage someone who is addicted to alcohol. Special treatment is required, which takes a long time.
 
Lying is not welcome in all nations. In the general perception of the Muslim nation, every evil gains momentum with lies. Or, the faults are either distorted or covered up by lies. In this sense, in the past, the only thing they warned a person to be healthy was the condition not to lie. Then one must necessarily be on righteousness.
 
Characters differ even within families. In some families or environments, heavy and heavy speech is not welcomed at all, while in some families it is flexible.
 
Characters form the general structure of people. Perhaps the most important feature of the Islamic nation is that it is protected from certain behaviors such as lies and reveals its character while avoiding it.
 
Almost everything nowadays is based on lies. Eating interest is an unfair gain, usurping the rights of others. It is to seize wealth with its power. Human characters can no longer be mentioned in political conflicts. There is a popular saying. It's like lying forty on one leg.
 
It's like promising things that won't happen, making things seem like they didn't happen, plotting a lot of tricks with the cunning of a fox.
 
Like talking too much is a waste of words. When speaking, the results are unpredictable. It would not be wrong to say that it is a fact of today's political life.
 
Our characters are formed by feeding from our roots. Our roots are our culture, our civilization, my family relationships. Our religious sensibilities.
 
It is the rules brought by religions rather than the laws that determine the borders. Every religion has a culture and every culture creates the character of its people. When Dostoevsky got to know Muslim Ali and his brothers in prison, that's when he saw the differences with the Russians. He sees that Muslims do not lie, do not steal, do not gamble, do not drink alcohol. His search for human beings also differs from now on. We are talking about the true Muslim. More than today's people.
