What does Islam say to us Muslims, how does it want us to behave, and how much do we Muslims do what Islam wants from us?
 
It is not possible to give the answer, "We behave exactly as Islam says and how it wants us to behave"!
 
We are faced with a situation where many demands of Islam seem to be "ignored".
 
Let's say we pretend we didn't hear if "ignore" is going to be a heavy definition.
 
Islam expects us Muslims not to lie.
 
We cannot purify our language from lies. Islam tells us Muslims to stay away from the trouble of interest.
 
We, on the other hand, make a thousand and one excuses and continue to live with interest.
 
Islam expects us to master our language in matters such as adultery and prostitution.
 
It orders us to limit our tongue on such an important matter, that is, if we have "unless we have four witnesses" with us, even if we "see it with our own eyes".
 
We, on the other hand, open our mouths as if we have never heard this order, love to those who can close it!
 
When we receive warnings that what we are doing from right to left is not right, we try to put the words "but we have seen" into their mouths.
 
However, no one tells us that we have made such a thing "in our head without seeing it"!
 
They are trying to remind us of the divine warning on this matter. But in vain! We continue to accuse at full speed.
 
Okay, there's a huge moral flaw there.
 
There is a decay, a putrefaction.
 
However, while trying to explain this situation, we must have a good command of our language and keep ourselves away from scribblings that may lead to the "accusation of adultery".
 
For such an accusation, we must keep in mind that only our observations are not sufficient from the Islamic point of view, but that we must have four witnesses.
 
In other words, we should stop talking publicly and not become a prisoner of our emotions.
 
Of course, we do not say that we should remain silent in the face of the great immorality.
 
But even as we raise our voices, let's never forget what Islam wants from us.
 
It is enough that we "don't get hung up on" basic issues that are "framed" about how we should behave.
