Naming the Condition | The Greater Jihad Tarbiyyah Series | Shahid Bolsen

Added: 2026-05-04

Moral corruption that has metastasized beyond individual sinfulness creates a condition characterized by denial, deceit, argumentativeness, manipulation, and provocation, which requires a clinical diagnostic approach rather than conventional moral persuasion; this condition operates at both individual and civilizational scales, where Western civilization represents a chronic, terminal condition characterized by worship of destructive power, instrumentalization of all things, systematic reframing of atrocity as progress, and a pattern where moral outrage becomes the prelude to normalization. The appropriate response is not to attempt curing such individuals through arguments or naseehah, but to recognize the condition, protect one's fitrah through vigilance, and understand that da'wah is fundamentally conveyance of truth rather than persuasion, with the outcome left to Allah.
