Aqli-Thos on Instagram: "Context: There’s a difference between honoring the pious and turning religion into a system of income. Dr. Israr raises a serious question: When money starts flowing at shrines in the name of devotion… who is it really for? Historically, even the tribe of Quraysh used religious structures around the Kaaba as a source of economic benefit. Offerings placed for idols became part of a financial system. Now ask yourself— When offerings, donations, and “nazrana” become routine at shrines… 👉 Is it purely spiritual? 👉 Or has it quietly become an economic structure? Islam came to purify Tawheed—to remove all intermediaries between الإنسان and Allah. The danger begins when practices shift from remembrance… to reliance… to ritualized giving tied to personalities. This isn’t about disrespecting anyone. This is about questioning practices that may blur the line between faith and system. Because once الدين becomes a source of income… It stops being pure. And the real question is: Are we protecting the message… or monetizing it? #drisrarahmed #drisrar #islam #deen #ummah"
