Beyond laziness, the next worst stage after laziness is the level of stupidity or contempt, because the person who's lazy, they know what's right, they know that they should be in the MSG, they know that they should be praying, they know they should wear hijab, they know, they know all of what they should be doing. They just are too lazy to do it. But another level beyond that is to not know or not care, what's the right thing to do in the first place? Right. So, you know, this is a huge problem and cultures that don't value education, and especially Islamic education. And we've talked about this before how the Muslim world we send our best students for to be a doctor to be a lawyer
to be an engineer. And if you're a C student, or a D student, well, maybe you can go be any math, right? That's our attitude.

And at the same time, look, we're putting to study these things, right? So this is about the level of education, okay, somebody who, they're ignorant, it's worse than just not doing the stuff or not finding the motivation. They're ignorant, and they don't care.

What does that tell you right there that tells you that they don't want to know what's right. They don't care. They don't want to be educated. They've turned their back on that and they're content with whatever they've got going on. And unless a major change takes place, that's where they're going to stay
