Humanity has descended to an animalistic level, disconnecting from its inherent spiritual nature. Individuals have ceased to perceive, reflect, and truly listen, relying instead on base instincts. While endowed with a divine spark and soul, modern humans, particularly influenced by Darwinian thought, now identify solely with their biological existence. This ideology, initially confined to biology and largely discredited there, has permeated the social sciences, leading to a loss of awareness of the divine element within. This lecture explores the consequences of this spiritual decline and the importance of reclaiming our inherent humanity.

Surah Al-Furqan emphasizes the directive to not heed the disbelievers and to wage a great struggle through the Quran. The Quran itself was the greatest sword in the hands of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
