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. .
