The Qur'an is the best tool for analysis

Honestly, if you're not familiar with, and if you don't believe in the Quran, the hadiths, if you don't know the seerah, in my opinion, you are at a tremendous disadvantage in understanding and analyzing the world. Because Allah and his messenger explained every type of person we see today, every personality type, every type of character, and every type of behavior. Just like how the hypocrites would ride out with the Muslims to battle only to then pull back, you know, how they would support and abandon Islam just to demoralize the Muslims. Well, that's George Galloway. How Shaytan would inflate the power of your enemy in your minds to make you think that defeat is certain.

Well, that's all the people who talk about how Israel is so powerful or America is so powerful, and how they can never be put in check, even while objective observation and analysis actually shows that US power is in steep decline over the past decade. Every type of trick that the enemies use has been exposed and explained by Allah and his messenger. Either we read it in the Quran or in the hadith or we learn about it from the seerah. These are absolutely the best sources for understanding human behavior, the behavior of those who have power and the behavior of those who don't have power.
