A Psycho-Spiritual perspective of Population Control

12/22/2022

 
Dr Abdallah Rothman was invited as a guest on the Naked Scientists' "Naked Reflections" podcast to discuss a topic he is not usually asked to speak on: population control. With the recent release of the census report documenting the rising population of Muslims in the UK, he was asked to comment from the perspective of a leader in the Muslim community. While the host seemed to be suggesting that leaders should be telling the Muslim community to have less children, Dr Rothman pushed back on this idea and gave a different perspective. He queried the notion of what humans actually have control over, asserting that we only have control over ourselves and not any outcome, as this is in God's hands. He asserts that instead of focusing on the need to "control" the eventual population, our focus should be on the existing population to control itself,  changing the way humans have an impact on the planet, and that this needs to happen on an individual level with self-awareness, self-responsibility, and self-change: the only things we actually have any control over.
