As an artist, I am in the business of culture, which I understand to be growth and development, not just the business of making money. The key to art is the power of impression, a gift from God to many of us to inspire people with beautiful expressions through music, paintings, dance, or other art forms to serve our cultural progress. Also, I understand that in the beginning, God created this world with many great powers of impression to mold human nature, which is like wet clay for human advancement. Therefore, I strive to serve God by educating and encouraging ethical awareness and peace among all good people of different races, religions, and nationalities. I share my understanding of culture and religion in my art, articles, videos, and my new book, Climbing the Stairway to Culture.Alan Dean Shariff is an artist best known for his Black art prints and reproduction relating to Africa, African Americans, and Caribbean people and culture. “Being an African American myself, I am more comfortable presenting my perspective on Afro-Americana if there is such a word. I respect the artists involved in abstract art, but I prefer to present life without distortion,” said Alan Dean. “Along with aesthetics, I would rather have a message, too. I am unknown to most people as an artist today, but I have been creating my artwork since the mid-1970s. Early in my art career, I had the honor of presenting a drawing I did of Muhammad Ali to him that he hung in his training camp in Deer Lake Pa until it closed. Furthermore, I was fortunate to have visited Muhammed Ali’s training camp on a few occasions, where I had an opportunity to talk privately with him about my art.I am originally from Baltimore, Md., but I have traveled to and lived in several states in the United States over the years. Eventually, I moved to the Caribbean, where I lived for over a decade on several islands. While there, I produced several drawings you see on my website. While in the Caribbean, I was also blessed to pursue my other love, singing. I billed myself as The Soul Singer and entertained tourists visiting the island where I lived. After leaving the Caribbean, I spent a year in Southeast Asia, where I spent time traveling to a few places in the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. I have lived and traveled between Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda in East Africa for the past year and a half.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Today, our society faces many complex social problems that threaten to decay the foundation of the belief in God and the traditional family, known as the Culture War. This is not a war based on clashes between different cultures but a conflict between social groups and their struggle to impose their values, beliefs, and practices on others.

However, righteousness is the common language and understanding needed to solve our nation’s problems with the woke movement, socialist views, and immorality in the Culture War. For righteousness is the only understanding that can bridge the differences between all people’s beliefs, traditions, and customs.

For example, God commanded righteous people to worship Him alone, not to do what He says is wrong, never support anyone or anything doing what is bad, and stand for justice even against themself, rich or poor. Also, God promises He will never allow the unrighteous to triumph over the righteous.

But if this is true, why have immoral people been able to advance their schemes over the rejection of religious people in our society today? I believe they have only made achievements in their struggle because most people who claim to worship God are not righteous. Religious people have disobeyed what God commanded righteous people to do and have divided themselves into divisions and sects, which God also commanded believers not to do.

According to Quran 42:13, God commanded believers not to create religious divisions, and the same religion He gave Noah was sent to all His prophets. Also, Quran 3:19 says that the religion before God is submission to His will, and the people did not dissent from that place except through envy of each other after knowledge had come to them.

Plus, in Quran 6:159, God commands believers to have nothing to do with those who break their religion into sects. I am referring to the Holy Quran because, contrary to popular belief, the Quran is not just the book of Muslims, as most people have been told and believe.

According to the Quran, it is a book for all who believe in God alone, the last day, and work righteousness. It explains that God gave the Quran to the world to eliminate divisions between God-fearing people, not to create another religion.

Therefore, just because God has blessed many people to see that the Quran represents the truth from Him doesn’t mean that we are meant to become Muslims in Islam. According to the Holy Quran, everyone who believes and obeys God belongs to the same religion, regardless of race, nationality, heritage, or what they call themselves.

In this case, the world would only be divided into the righteous and the unrighteous tribes, the believers versus the unbelievers. Instead, good people are separated against each other and forbidden to associate or cooperate with other good people because they belong to another religion or political party.

However, most religious people support and make excuses for people they know are wicked because of their wealth, popularity, or because they belong to the same religious group or political party. Since those claiming to worship God have separated themselves into different sects against each other in disobedience to God, the light of moral intelligence and righteousness has disappeared in the world, for God’s light of understanding can’t shine through religious divisions.

Why continue to grapple with deteriorating social issues when the root cause is religious divisions? As long as the world remains in the darkness of moral ignorance, every attempt to solve problems will only create worse problems. The only solution to successfully end these many social issues is to turn God’s light of understanding on again in the world.

Then, the darkness of moral ignorance and everything that can only exist in it will perish, for when the light comes on, the darkness has no choice but to go away. .
