They are driven by a constant need to accumulate wealth and are trapped in a cycle of work and consumption, prioritizing worldly achievements over inner peace and fulfillment.

He asserts that even those hostile to Islam offer freedoms that are denied to Muslims due to the absence of an Islamic system. The core argument is that Islam, as a complete code of conduct, has been relegated to mere ritual in the minds of the vast majority of the populace.
