Because we have to be very careful about
how political nomenclature has replaced religious nomenclature. Religiously,
it's a it's it it it
it supersedes that. It's bigger than it. It
doesn't allow itself to get stuck in the
muck and mire of political nomenclature. Religious nomenclature
actually should supersede political nomenclature. I am a
prophetic community that may do politics. I'm not
a political community that may do prophecy.
That's a challenge.
So when we talk about following desires,
it doesn't just mean, like, haram.
It could also mean going overboard
in religion like the Hawarij,
the early Muslim group who they actually exceeded
the Sahaba in their worship. They exceeded the
Sahaba in their,
if you will, commitment
to religion.
But the prophet said about them, whom they're
the worst people.
And in their
sort of misplaced religiosity, they actually killed
some of the Sahaba.
They killed Seydn Adi.
