For us Muslims, Bitcoin was never about saving our money from inflation or getting rich. These are only natural and welcome consequences of the right intentions.
For us it's about success in this life and in the afterlife.
Muslims should live on the Bitcoin standard completely. This happens in small steps, it's a development. But don't stop at and hodling. Hodl to be able to use it as a MoE. Don't hodl to get rich one day. We don't know whether we will live to see another day.

quoting note1l6r…hy48Why is the Muslim Ummah so powerless although we make up a fifth of the world's population?
We're not on the right track. We don't follow our agenda given by Allah ﷻ to us.
We are content to raise our voices instead of doing the right thing. Which gets us off track.
- Inward development: Gain more taqwa..
- Unify with other Muslims on the agenda
- Calling to good as a unified ummah and with the power to do so.
About the inward development:
Observe taqwa and come to Islam completely. Meaning applying the book of Allah in our personal lifes.
And a huge chunk of the Qur'an is about financial regulations (mahr, child support, zakat, giving loans back, staying away from riba etc.). So the first easy litmus test is to check our money matters.
We need to observe taqwa in our financial dealings.
When we don't abide by Allah's laws we will be humiliated, powerless and receive the rage from Allah.
So we need to start at step 1 at least. To get our financial dealings right. Bitcoin can play a fundamental role here. Not just saving wealth in Bitcoin but also using it as a currency (medium of exchange, MoE) in daily life. And keeping as little fiat money as possible.
We must try everything to not get involved in riba and the modern banking system. No riba loans, not using fiat currencies, not leaving money on our checking accounts and thus enabling and supporting this system.
The second step would be observing the hudud of Allah in family life.
So are we living taqwa in our financial matters and in our family matters?
Watch the full khutba as it provides a better and more complex solution than just the "raise your voice!" you hear from everywhere. ⬇️
