True Religiosity...
- Reducing the Higher Objectives of Religion to Minor Details: Igniting endless disputes and futile debates over fine jurisprudential nuances or peripheral recommended acts, while prompt justice, the rights of the vulnerable, mercy toward creation, and confronting the unlawful consumption of people's wealth are squandered.
- Repelling Others Through Excessive Rigidity: Turning religion into a system of impossible burdens and restrictive constraints devoid of the spirit of mercy and ease, which triggers counter-reactions among younger generations and drives them toward disinterest, skepticism, or atheism.
A Final Word: True religiosity is neither a display of status in gatherings nor a posture of moral superiority over side issues. Rather, it is a purification of the soul that cleanses it of the desire for prominence, a guardianship of justice in dealings, and a mercy toward creation that embodies the ultimate objectives of divine messages. Unless religion serves as a drive to establish justice, support the oppressed, and remain conscious of God in private and in public, it turns into a mere superficial facade that hides beneath it a hollow spirit and the ruin of societies.
