Islam has been right this whole time: Interest, gambling, etc.
When we see the current state of the world, is it anything except proof that the rules Allah decreed upon us was truly for our benefit?
For those who gave up degrees because not wanting to take out a loan can now rejoice at how degrees seem to be losing their value, though the debt has become unbearable for many of their users.
For those who gave up gambling despite its seemingly quick and thrilling riches, can now see the gambling addiction on the rise with multiple platforms which are betting on the smallest things; they protected themselves from platforms who'd love for them to become addicted.
For those who focused on tawakkul and not on their own means (believing that trying their best in whatever they do, will allow whatever is meant for them to come for them from Allah), can now still rejoice as their rizq is with Allah in the heavens, and not dependent on a chaotic and scarce job market.
Islam has always been right, despite oceans of nay-sayers and mockers from the beginning to the end. Remember how in good times to not take out loans, do some 'harmless' gambles, or to just work hard and ignore Allah and his various 'encumbering rulings', was the status quo. To depart from it meant you were totally and utterly foolish and meant for poverty. Yet now those who disbelieve might say "ah, it's all become so obvious. Of course you never should've gambled or taken loans, look at the state of the world. This is just common sense." Yet, when good times hit them, they return back to their ways.
Now, who is rich? Allah truly loves us more than ourselves, and wants ease for us in this life: hence his rules, and his constant emphasis to not let your joy die with what happens in this dunya, an inherently unreliable and painful place.
The day of judgment will be an even greater exposer of who the winners are, and aren't. #religion
