PPS. Actually this is where we can gain momentum, modern civilization has exhausted its potential, increasingly finding itself in a cul de sac, one of the biggest indications being the drying up of creativity and genius.
PS. I am not saying that we need those changes in the Islamic world enacted in the same exact way, we have our own and superior ways of solving problems, which ofc doesn’t mean that we can’t appropriate some things for our purposes.
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%.

New paradigms and narratives need to be crafted, 20th century Islamism nearing its end and the younger generations of Turks, especially in the metropolitan regions like Istanbul and Ankara, have been captivated by the wests ways and as usual they don’t adopt the positive traits instead opting for the negative ones.
Which in itself is an interesting phenomenon, we see it all over the Islamicate. Charles Taylor’s “A secular age” maybe offers one angle from which to analyze this, to keep it short, the western populace over the centuries has been socially engineered to exemplify discipline even in the absence of religion, Cartesian civitas “the virtue of self discipline”, Lockean mutual benefit “the notion of an interdependent society where each individual contributes and benefits from societies wider works”, synthetic identities popping up after the formation of nation states which instilled a higher purpose in the individual, transcending mere everyday concerns, this and many more influences may have led to westerners being disciplined, forming high-trust societies, being productive etc.
In contrast non-western societies never underwent these changes in this specific manner, they see only the sweet fruits not the hard work behind it.
Hopefully I will find the time to write something longer on this.
Increasingly of the opinion that decentralization is a Fugazi, and the only think really happening here is a muddling of the waters.
Muslims have been pushed towards the edges,to eke out an existence as passive particles with no agency, ultimately leading to a (false) disassociation from this world.
“The gloomy hare-brained enthusiast, after his death , may have a place in a calendar; but will scarcely ever be admitted, when alive, into intimacy and society, except by those who are delirious and dismal as himself.”

It’s the same with almost any topic, constant yapping about the symptoms while the underlying cause is neglected, does it surprise one, actually no; people are the byproduct of the system they inhabit, so naturally they are taught it’s logic, as to be of service to it, that’s why the system gave them the gift of education in the first place.
Carcinisation & The Forbidden City
Polar opposites of the Forum. 
The forum/marketplace/mall embodies, in its essence, the makan of democracy, free floating particles, being drawn from the alleys towards an all consuming whirl, where they clash and fusion with others, a cacophony it seems, unbeknownst to them they are steered in a particular direction by increasingly non-human forces.
Disharmony still reigns but complete arbitrariness never existed. A Kafkaesque feeling of a swindling center sets in, the grey eminences of our time getting ever more abstruse. A few pierce through this charade most are sucked in.
Don’t forget Plotinus, Guenons definition of matter heavily depends on (Neo-)platonic teachings, cross reading the Enneads and TRoQaTSoT personally clarified a lot in this regard.
So the or one of the questions, if we want to restore our might and power-and this doesn’t only pertain to the societal but also to the individual domain, is, what do we, as Muslims, offer the world?
What we give is important not what we take, and exactly therein lies power; in the gift-giving and not in the gift-receiving.
The platitude of “be a producer not a consumer” is true, even if it is parroted by people who don’t know the deeper implications and meanings behind it.
“With the growing atheism, death gains in horror, as the annihilation seems complete and irrevocable. Death is overestimated, both by the one who suffers it and by the one who orders it” ~ “Eumeswill”, Ernst Jünger
How can you deny Allah? You were lifeless and He gave you life, then He will cause you to die and again bring you to life, and then to Him you will ˹all˺ be returned Al Baqarah 28
Are you ˹O Prophet˺ not aware of the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord because Allah had granted him kingship? ˹Remember˺ when Abraham said, “My Lord is the One Who has power to give life and cause death.” He argued, “I too have the power to give life and cause death.” Abraham challenged ˹him˺, “Allah causes the sun to rise from the east. So make it rise from the west.” And so the disbeliever was dumbstruck. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. Al Baqarah, 258
We ordered, “O fire! Be cool and safe for Abraham!” Al Anbya, 69
That the economic system seeks to erase contingencies, for example poverty, unemployment or even war, is naught but a fallacy; it strives on them, utilizing everything the positive as well as the negative, to ensure its survival, it is a parasite on everything. Once we understand this, and that many systems are designed along the same lines, we can be the tick on the tick, ride the tiger, become the Jünger’ian anarch, whatever one wants to call it.

Same goal different methods, traditional media was vertical, top-down, you had four or five big media houses and they in-orchestra with the state, controlled the larger narrative. Elon on the other hand, as clearly expressed by himself multiple times, seeks to make us all nodes in this propaganda machine, every individual is the media, serving under and for the Algorithm.
Musk tryin to destabilize the U.K even further, making, this now semi failed state, even more available for power grabs by GAE? Or has he just completely lost it? 
Definitely, but as you may have noticed, 99% of people, which by now I think is hardly an exaggerated number, are more interested in comfort than the benefits FOS(S) products would bring them. We can see it right in front our eyes, how millions of Muslims, populate the next WeChat, whose Lahabite founder is constantly stirring up hatred against Muslims, and is a known stooge for Z!0’s. That said competent brothers, for example in the tech sphere, should still push for it, developing new ideas and implementing them, utilizing all resources of the milieu they are situated in, regardless if the overall milieu is indifferent or even hostile to the vision.
As for societal dynamics and conditions, they can, to some degree, be manipulated, not in a Machiavellian way ofc, but that requires a very long term game plan.
