@yabaleftonline Islam means submission to God and calls to peace. If someone finds tranquility in prayer, that’s a positive thing. May our faith make us better and more compassionate.
@instablog9ja Islam is rooted in peace and devotion to one God. When prayer brings someone reassurance and calm, that reflects the spiritual beauty of faith. May we all grow in peace and sincerity.
@markusdeme23@bapphah As for Sharia, it is primarily a legal and moral framework. Legal systems alone do not create economic growth — policy, security, infrastructure, and investment do. Blaming Sharia for economic outcomes oversimplifies complex governance issues.
