Interesting comment on Turkish economy from Cübbeli Ahmet Hoca.

He says, the economy was never so broken as it is today and that there is also a spiritual dimension to it. That the more we sin as a population, the more sickness, poverty and problems afflict us.

And he adds that things are going downhill in Turkish society, worse than they have been in over 100 years, since the end of the Ottoman Empire. He says that the sins of this people have reached a peak in the last 150-200 years, and their worship has reached a low point. That's why inflation and devaluation have also reached a peak.

And he believes that it's not the fault of the state leaders. Because a people get the leaders they deserve. If you mess up as a society, you get a messed up leadership, so to speak.

He says that the average rate of Muslims who regularly perform all five daily prayers is currently around 5% in Turkey. Those who pray in congregation are even less, 0.0xx% among men.

Even those who fast during Ramadan, who were way over 50% in his early years, even if they didn't pray otherwise, are now just over 30%.
