Why does a Muslim fight with another Muslim brother? Why does a group of Muslims quarrel with another group of Muslims who do not think like them? If those who insult each other stop and think for a while, maybe they can realize some truths. What do they think is the reason for this fight and polarization? Are there some factors that affect the behavior of Muslims? Are Muslims really in chaos in line with their own thoughts and ideas? Or do some people, institutions, media, social media demons play an active role in the creation of this mess? It seems that it is hardly possible to understand the truth of the matter without answering the questions of why and why.
 
If we at least take a glance at the basic principles of our belief, we will see how meaningless, wrong and filled up our attitude and actions are today. At least we can try to see the facts. Because in the life we live in, an incurable crowd will always continue to exist. Forget about them, let them go, say hi and go.
 
As far as we know, it is one of the Sunnahs of our Prophet for a Muslim to smile and greet his brothers in religion. Being well-intentioned, looking for and finding the good even in the midst of evil are among the Sunnahs of our Prophet.
 
It is one of the Sunnahs of our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) to save one more brother, to win another brother, to convey the message to everyone with sweet language and good words. It is one of the Sunnahs of our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) to be patient, not to get angry, not to break, to be an ointment to wounds, to be thirsty sometimes, to remain calm and to act in peace. Let alone our Muslim brothers, trying to win the hearts of those who are not of our faith, communicating with them with sweet language and good words, and expressing our faith by living are among the Sunnahs of our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). It is one of the Sunnahs of our Prophet to live with the love of bringing another person to heaven, to win another person, to act by seeing a person as a world, instead of rubbing hands so that another brother goes to hell. It is one of the Sunnahs of our Prophet to prevent evil and to work for good deeds. If these facts don't make any sense to you, then we don't have much more to say.
 
And yet, where does the tendency to suffocate election periods with heartbreak, takfir, insults and slanders comes from and why do you think it comes from? How many of us are aware of the danger we are taking because of those who have made lying and slander their profession, who have deified their seats, bank accounts and similar dirty worldly things? Tell me, how many times will we be deceived and drowned in lies?
 
We will all die one day and we will give an account separately. When the day of reckoning comes, none of those with bad character will be with you, who use verses and hadiths as an appetizer in order to gain worldly blessings and not lose what they have earned. What we do today, our own actions and decisions will be with us. We will be alone with us, so try to get out of the mass delusions. Stop and think, make up your mind. Do not shoot at the targets shown to you without thinking or questioning. Both the gun and the trigger are in your hands, so the responsibility is entirely yours. Be you, do not risk your hereafter for the sake of the worldliness of others.
 
The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) passed away, but the religion of Islam will exist until the hereafter, by Allah's leave. Osman Gazi passed away, but later Osman Gazi's principality turned into an empire. Sultan Fatih closed the age, opened the age, passed away, but the Ottoman Empire did not collapse after he passed away. This world, as everyone knows, did not even belong to Sultan Suleiman. The duty of conscious people is not to be someone's man, but to be a man of the system, belief, faith and principles, the rest is the story.
