The promise is in the Qur’an: obedience to Allah will bring worldly success: “Allah has promised those of you who believe and do good works that he will surely make them succeed on the earth even as he caused those who were before them to succeed, and that he will surely establish for them their religion which he has approved for them, and will give them in exchange safety after their fear.” (24:55)
Yet Hibatullah Akhundzada is wrong. This promise has not been kept. The believers in Allah have not succeeded on this earth, nor has their failure been disconnected from their religion. Islam is responsible for the economic failure of majority Muslim states, and for the lowly status of women and non-Muslims within them. Historian and sociologist Hugh Fitzgerald has noted that their “inshallah-fatalism” and lack of a work ethic condemn Islamic societies to poverty everywhere, for the jizya is not currently collected, even in countries where non-Muslim communities suffer considerable institutionalized discrimination and harassment, such as Pakistan, Indonesia, and Egypt. Find out more about this in The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses.
Note also that Akhundzada assumes that what the Taliban are implementing is indeed Sharia. Many non-Muslim politicians in the West would deny that, and insist that Sharia is benign, and has nothing to do with what the Taliban are doing. Yet none of these politicians have produced an actual version of Sharia that teaches differently from what the Taliban are implementing. Nor can they do so, for no such version of Sharia exists. Yet they persist in demanding that everyone assume that Sharia is harmless and cuddly, and that anyone who thinks otherwise is an “Islamophobe.”
“Hibatullah in Eid message asks people to make ‘sacrifices’ for Taliban rule,” by Habib Mohammadi, Amu.tv, May 24, 2026:
In an Eid message focused on preserving the Taliban rule and adherence to the Sharia law, Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada called on the people to make sacrifices to sustain the Taliban administration and to be grateful for the “peaceful” life they have attained under the “Islamic system.”
In his message, he addressed the people as “faithful and mujahid brothers” and “honorable Afghan brothers,” and devoted much of the statement to preserving Taliban rule and promoting obedience to religious decrees. The statement made no reference to women, girls or their rights….
“Let us all endure more hardships and make sacrifices to protect it,” Akhundzada said, describing the preservation of the Taliban’s Islamic system as a “shared responsibility” and calling on Afghans to stand together to thwart what he called the “malicious intentions of enemies.”
As in previous Eid messages, Akhundzada urged the people to follow religious rulings without hesitation, describing adherence to Sharia as the path to prosperity and success.
He claimed that under Taliban rule the Islamic rights of all citizens are protected and that injustice is prevented.
“In this system, the Sharia rights of all citizens are protected and preserved,” he said, adding that no one should be subjected to oppression and that the rights of the oppressed would be upheld….
The Eid message also highlighted the implementation of the Taliban’s Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice laws. Akhundzada said efforts to reform society in accordance with Islamic principles would continue and called on religious scholars to encourage people to pray and strengthen their religious beliefs.
He urged Taliban officials to avoid mistreating citizens and to carry out their duties according to Islamic law….
The Taliban leader briefly addressed foreign relations, saying his administration seeks political and economic ties with all countries, particularly Muslim nations, on the basis of Islamic principles….

Re the photo above, imagine if America’s Founding Fathers were such.
Yeah, imagine this one.
Walter Sieruk says
About the actual origin of Islamic law [sharia] of the Taliban , which is the foundation for the brutal cruel malicious and deadly misogyny of Islam. It should be made known that the actual origin of Sharia law is revealed in a Time –Life book with the title MESOPOTAMIA: THE MIGHTY KINGS copyright 1995. The point is this history book about the ancient pagan world of Mesopotamia informs the reader that “many Islamic laws resemble the Babylon and Assyrian forebears.” .page 150.
There is the above and other references imply that such pagan teachings were incorporated into the religion that Muhammad manufactured and then started.
Thus this further reveals that a lot of ancient paganism is part of the whole religion of Islam.
In other words, ancient paganism makes up much of Islam. Therefore Islam with its Sharia are a hoax .
Islam is bad says
“…obedience to Allah will bring worldly success…”
Is that why so many immigrants seek to move to countries practising Sharia law?
Oh, wait: they aren’t

Except for Western morons who embrace islam and travel to the Middle East to join ISIS
OLD GUY says
Only these islamic leaders benefit from islam, everybody else bends over and kiss their ass.
Rob Porter says
OLD GUY, we should thank Robert for not pulling punches in this piece on Muslim lies and drivel. It never ends. There is no intelligent discussion and dialogue with such mentally cramped people. In their incredible ignorance there cannot be any free flow of ideas. They are simply brained-washed morons. No wonder they in ignorance think that the Qur’an and Sunnah contain everything that humans need to know. It’s not lost on me that after moving to Western countries Muslims rank poorly in becoming gainfully employed and that most live off government hand-outs. Which sane country would take in. such largely useless people? Oh yes we have Britain, Canada, Australia, France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden.
OLD GUY says
You left out America, we have a lot of islamic followers also.
David Grisez says
When one looks at the reality of Sharia Law the big question that needs to be asked is if Sharia Law is the path to prosperity and success, then why is it that there is so much poverty in Islamic countries that are not oil rich and do not have huge deposits of petroleum in the ground?
Oli says
What do you guys think. If you are a Catholic and the pope and your church leaders are coming strong for Islamic migration in Europe. How do we handle that?
We had Islamic students in private Catholic school too. But I never met them. Our family is conservative and we kid of know what’s going on. But I don’t understand why’s going on. It’s uncomfortable. I thought being Catholic means focusing on Catholics, not Muslims.
My dad says they don’t allow Catholic in Afghanistan at all. And Africa they chase them out. And it’s Muslims. So what are we doing? Why is everybody screaming abotj Gaza . What about the Catholics? Why is our church not saying that stuff but only Gaza and Islam migrants. I don’t want to speak up. Maybe people will dislike us. Our country looks like Syria now. They are very mean people. Why should I hear about this garage. They are garbage not people.
Rob Porter says
Oli, Why is your church not telling the truth about Islam and Muslims? Because they are cowardly, politically correct and hate the truth and facts regarding Islam. The Pope is simply a liar and fool. I’ve read numbers of his idiotic statements and to me he doesn’t seem like a Christian. Maybe you should try a good Protestant church that emphasizes Bible teaching. Maybe Baptists. No proper Christian would advocate Muslim immigration, not least because they hate our guts and are encouraged to murder us for not believing their utter crap.
Beans🫘 says
I thought Germany does not allow religious schools? Are you from Germany?
Someone has to break it to you. The church wants to Islamize your nation, and they not only support Islamic illegal immigration, but they support UNLIMITED. All comers. And they finance illegal immigration, they want it to be UNLIMITED. They want everybody to come to Germany, and the pope wants you to share all of your wealth with Muslims, and take care of them, first class of course.
Yes christians are being whipped all over the world by Muslims. And your pope will only secretly back it. He is cheering for the Nigerian terrroist right now. He refuses even to acknowledge the crimes. He says it’s “communal disagreement”.
BUT if a Christian like Trump, so much as takes out an Islamic Iranian nuke facility, or Israel bombs a Hamas depot, the pope will be up in arms condemning us.
The pope is an Islamic terrorist leader in my eyes. He is basically in disguise Bin Laden. And he knows the limits he can push to in his pro Islamic geo political moves. He is constantly pushing the boundary to see what he can get away with, pro Islamic goals of course.
In your case, what’s happening is that they are pushing the boundary to new churches slowly. To praise sharia and Islam and illegal Islamic invasion. From church to church, it’s a growing metastasis. They want to see the crowd reaction. Maybe they can pull some money out of you to hand right over to Muslims. They’re testing your church.
DAVE says
Adherence to sharia will drag you back about 1400 to 1500 years. No civilized country, where the population believes in God and freedom, can or will progress by following islam or sharia.
Islam is like the camel who stuck its nose in the tent. Before long, the camel owns the tent.
All you have to do is look at the UK and a few of the countries in the EU to see this.
Arabia and the Mideast used to be a beautiful place with advances in mathematics and medicine until…islam was invented by ‘Big Mo’.
abu taleb says
I think 9:28-29 is more suitable for getting rich by implementing the shariah which is attacking non muslims, robbing and extorting the non muslims, thus muslims will be rich easily.
Muhammad and his companions got rich by attacking non muslims, not by working hard and honest.
Sahih International
9:28 O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram after this, their [final] year. And if you fear privation, Allah will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Wise.

They sure do look well fed. They should make a sacrifice and not eat that third burger.
somehistory says
Just as the abusive, psychopathic husband and father makes all kinds and manner of rules for his family, the taliban, made up of abusive psychopaths, make all kinds and manner of rules for their slaves.
The abusive husband and father serves himself and his family serve him…or else.
The muzzie taliban terrorists serve themselves and their slaves serve them…or else. No muzzie in the murderous taliban will make any sacrifices, no cutting back, no going without. That will all be on the backs of their slaves….or else.
The photo is a picture of a group of criminal psychopaths. They leech off the lives of others.

Taliban top dog claims adherence to Sharia is the path to prosperity and success
………………………………………………..
Well, let’s see. Per capita GDP in Afghanistan is $448. In the Infidel United States it is $94,430. Compare and contrast…
Tim gallagher says
Spot on, gravenimage. Islam is all about dragging all the human race back to living the 7th century arab life like mo. The way I see it the only Muslim societies that are prosperous are the ones who, through luck, have oil. Sheer dumb luck. The other Muslim countries are basket cases.
