			you are the best nation ever is to mankind, enjoying the good and forbidding evil, this is Islam. So
we need to be involved in any process that maximizes the good and minimizes the evil things. And
obviously, my dear respect to the brothers and sisters, as many scholars said that the wisdom is to
know what is the most evil out of the number of evil things. And what is the best out of many good
things. Because life is real. The reality is that you cannot find absolute fire, absolute goodness
that has no evil in it, and absolute evil that has no fire in it. And this is a rule that ebenen

democratic process is a process that can be used to increase that what is good and minimize what is
even, of course, it is not the best solution, but it is a good tool that has to be utilized. So
that's why we need to be involved in most of the political process that we see around us. We might
not get 100% of what we wish out of it. But we will be getting something if we are involved. And if
we know how to strategically be involved in that. The mayoral election is coming on fifth of may

constitute almost one fifth of the total number of electorates, which means that we can make a
change. So we need to know how to make that change, how to vote strategically. And we need to
understand what is our role in politics in general in Britain and in Europe.
