When we become too detached from reality and immersed in this space, will the real world’s problems be solved all of a sudden? Will widespread disease and starvation stop? Will Israel just stop bombing Palestine? The answer is no, but we will forget about these problems. This is what modernism aims to do. To capitalize on human forgetfulness and desire to escape harsh truths, and it aims to provide the best in escapism. To hide the truth while we indulge in denial created by our desires. Should we as Muslims accept the rejection of truth? Aren’t we, instead, ordered to uphold it by Allah?
“O believers! Be mindful of Allah, and say what is right.” (33:70)
“O believers! Stand firm for justice as witnesses for Allah even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or close relatives. Be they rich or poor, Allah is best to ensure their interests. So do not let your desires cause you to deviate ˹from justice˺. If you distort the testimony or refuse to give it, then ˹know that˺ Allah is certainly All-Aware of what you do.” (4:135)
And this is just the tip of the problems Metaverse presents to the Muslim Ummah and all of society as a whole. May Allah protect us from such Fitnah and give us the ability to distinguish right from wrong. The belief of modernism is that the wheels of humanity must always progress. Always keep increasing our velocity, without regard for the vector. But what if that vector leads us over the cliff?
