But in these cases, the situation is clear. We know who we're talking about. But there is a category who are supposed to have consciousness, i.e. free will, yet they do not belong here or there. The Quran writes about them as deaf, dumb, and blind:

Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path). (Quran 2:18)

I hope that all of us can realize that we're not talking about physical illnesses right now, can't we?

Who are they, the deaf, dumb, and blind in a figurative sense? They are drifting with the flow and have no opinion of their own. They don’t pick up the news of the outside world with any of their senses, so those don’t get into the brain, which withers away due to the absence of work. There is no room for debate with them not because they categorically reject it or they represent a radically different opinion, but because they have no opinion. Nothing can convince them because their brains are not functioning. Animals at least have excuses because they have instincts and no consciousness.

However, these people are created as humans and exactly the function is not used that makes them human. The worst news is that they make up the crowd! They are listed by the polling surveys as a hesitating majority who don't belong neither here nor there that the parties have to convince. And parties deploy the most primitive means in their arsenal affecting the instincts, because sacrificing more for that crowd in order to get their votes is unnecessary. After all, they will forget everything, they will not keep in mind the election promises, don't even know what country they live in. They are kept on their track by the genetically encoded tradition they faced in their childhood. As children, they have not yet been fallen out of thinking, while strict and old attitudes have been absorbed by their blood, which was outdated even five generations ago and they are unable to modify their careers in a changed world.

Their manipulation is the most efficient. Large crowd and cheap. So, it is worth producing them. This is what we experience. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is there not only at the level of politics, but also at the level of religions. Only there the crowd is cheaper, even a catharsis is enough for payment. The Quran, right in the first pages deals with this issue, deeply condemning it. There is no need for such crowds in Islam, even though they are produced massively by means affecting on instincts.

The point of my article is not only to draw attention to this phenomenon, but also to the fact that the institution of slavery was not abolished in 1833. I was asked why the Quran writes about improving the situation of slaves and liberating them, why it doesn’t condemn the institution of slavery categorically? The answer: because this institution will never cease to exist. Even if Allah would prohibit it, people will restore it, so it is only reasonable to talk about the ways of liberation and relief. Are the tax offices and banks today not slave keeping institutions? Is it not slavery what is established by the imposed taxes and debt traps? In fact, those are much worse! We are part of a process that leaves the body alive but kills the soul. Islam draws attention to this phenomenon and recommends regulation here. And if regulations cannot be executed, it prescribes donation and helping people who have fallen into various traps in these fields. I then ask: which secular system will respect Saria? Of course, none of them. It will be put always in a negative approach until the end of the world.

And the thought now meets the deaf, dumb, and blind masses. This population provides the base for the current slave-keeping institutions and traders. The system is built on them. And in this respect doesn't exist Muslim and non-Muslim deaf, dumb and blind. Such masses are needed both inside and outside the Umma.
