The universe is an uninterrupted exchange. However, people who are confined to solitary cells refuse to be involved in this exchange and become selfish. When he hears the concepts of sharing, generosity and altruism, he thinks that he will lose something, that he will become poor and clings to the walls of the cell where he is imprisoned. So, is giving to someone else or to nature to release what doesn't work? Is it to impoverish? Does the hand you extend to a poor person, the love you offer to a child impoverish you? Of course not… But human beings like to receive rather than give, and they think that the more they receive, the richer they get, and the more they give, the poorer they get.
 
It is not possible for selfish and pleasure-oriented individuals to grasp the inner peace that comes from sharing love and bread. As a matter of fact, at the last point of feelings, thoughts and actions, one sees giving as really giving up and releasing the devalued into nature. And the actions of these people, who are not involved in the uninterrupted shopping in the universe, cause tragic results and great destruction.
 
According to positivist, pragmatist, determinist and rationalist mentalities, good things shared can only be in return and everything is shaped around interests. You cannot tell these mindsets that everything you offer with love has turned into an investment in your spiritual and emotional space.
 
Sharing in Islamic culture is to participate in the natural flow of life, according to which nothing you give will be lost, on the contrary, it will return to its owner.
 
There are also those who reduce sharing to only material things and give credit to themselves by sharing what they have sacrificed...
 
These people give something free of charge when they can get benefit or profit. Or they give it in order to give themselves an artificial power and to gain an overwhelming advantage by humiliating the other party.
 
For them, sharing is done to get a monetary reward, so they think about what they can get even by giving.
 
When buying, they take the most valuable, and when giving, they give the least valuable, they deem it worthy. This is a parallel thought, that is, a way of life, which is reflected in their entire lives. These people internalize this contradictory distorted understanding and turn it into a habit. Because they consider themselves worthy of the best of everything. Only they should have the rank, life, taste and wealth in life because everything has been prepared for them.
 
As for the others, they are just “necessary-unnecessary consumers”.
 
These people become stingy when taking handfuls and giving. Their passions are endless, they focus on what they don't have, not what they don't have.
 
Their hearts are barren, their arrogance is over the top, they are sensitive to criticism, they like to be praised.
 
Although self-centered individuals who have turned human relations into benefits and designed to take their lives see themselves on the summit of Mount Kaf, they are unhappy and lonely in real life. These people, living in solitary cells, are being dragged into a specter with no end. Since they are not involved in the uninterrupted shopping in the universe, they cannot escape the specter they have fallen into.
