My daughter was in the fourth grade of primary school, and one day she came home and said she wanted to talk to me about something. I said OK and she said that she hit her friend's foot while she was moving towards her place in the class that day, then the girl said to my daughter; "even a year's salary of your father can not pay this shoe, I do not dress like you guys...", and belittling her classmates. At that time, the lice of the conservatives were not bloody as they are today, they spent most of their time in religious conversations, scientific environments, and at every opportunity expressed that world property was worthless. At that time, the lice of the conservatives were not as blooded as they are today, they spent most of their time in religious conversations, scientific environments, and at every opportunity expressed that world property was worthless. I even had such friends that they would wear their clothes by patching, emphasizing taqwa and humility. That's why my ten-year-old daughter told me that I was quite amazed. Obviously, some people talked about humility in front of the curtain and when they passed behind the curtain, they opened up to a different world and succumbed to their complexes. I talked a long time to calm my daughter and explained that people can get value with their personalities, not with clothing. But the fact that a child leaned against the family's existence and tried to dominate others and regarded it as an arrogant virtue made me think a lot. I was worried about this child who could get everything she wanted, and I saw the dangers awaiting her. A long time passed and the young girl left school at the age of twenty, became addicted to substance, and the blind arrogance of the family ruined her whole life. A young girl who was abandoned to lovelessness and apathy was the victim of their arrogance and grandiose attitude.
 
POVERTY PERCEPTION OF OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD
 
Poor people come to mind in need of people who have difficulty in meeting their basic needs, Isn't it? But global poverty is something very different from the poverty you know. Accordingly, if you do not have access to the possibilities of others, you feel poor and deprived. If your phone's brand is lower than your friend's, if you can't buy branded clothes, your home and car do not attract attention, you start to see yourself in the poor category.
 
I met a lady last week. She told her one-year-old baby that she had to use poor quality diapers and was nervous because she couldn't go on vacation. When the lady spoke, my dreams took me far, thirty years ago. At that time, mothers, if they do not have the power to buy ready-made diapers made of special fabrics and used until the child grows. Families who didn't have the opportunity at that time would take their children to the village once a year instead of a holiday and make silas and make them have a nice time here. But global culture has changed our perceptions so quickly that our needs and aspirations have undergone a major transformation. Parents, who can no longer buy ready-made diapers for their children, take them on holiday and entertain them, send them to private schools or courses, and offer them all the facilities others have, feel themselves deprived and poor.
 
The global economic order supports repressive regimes and creates an elite to lead consumption. This leads to an increase in corruption, an increase in the imbalance in income distribution and a change in perceptions about living standards. Individuals who have previously been complimented with their essential needs now start to talk about new needs, and if these needs are not met, they become deprived. They think that if they do not have the things imposed on them, they cannot be seen as loved and valued in the environment. Unfortunately, the secularized Muslims were also greatly influenced by this situation and began to model the wasteful lives of the Karun (a historical character who is known for his wasteful and rich life), not the exemplary life of the Messenger of Allah. You see, the corruptions start at the top. That is why Islamic societies became the passengers of a sinking ship. Those who consider themselves a pioneer rescuer continue to sink the ship instead of saving it.
