Excellent observations, it's noteworthy that the lecture was given before the world experienced the Covid Pandemic, was it to get rid of the undesirable humans. Has the level of human thinking, reasoning and imagination been hijacked by technology, like Chatgpt. High level of intellectual development indeed. Keep it up!
How do we break down this kind of observations for the consumption of the humans on the streets!

This is so deep in Islam, a Muslim is whom accepts god as his lord, the Muslim is the slave of god and is content with his patronage and protection, the patronage and protection the Caliphs and Sultans never gave neither did the colonists nor the regimes to follow the colonists.
