The Glib Muslim World

 



As a believer and trying each day to practice my faith , I will say this with a heavy heart and a disappointed sigh that the muslim world is not devoid of racism and hatred , xenophobia is spread like wildlife on lands where they took refugees. We might preach others , claim to be the custodian of high values or recite verses of Quran, proving our religious-ness, and quoting sayings of the Prophet PBUH,  but the amount of hatred, prejudice, materialism that has crawled inside of us through conspicuous nationalism and the idea of identification based on our cultures and the colours of our skin is appalling.Actions speaks louder than words.

One can deny as much they want , but we are not the saints as we claim to be. One can hear the so called muslims swearing on the highest name of the creator of heaven and earth, and lying and spewing hatred right away with the same mouth.Unfortunately worldly desires,success and materialism is the only God left for many.Furthermore ,we want to create such an unachievable image of piety and religiousness , regardless of our own weaknesses , we expect to see the Sufi (saint) garbed in monks and nuns attires , an unattainable expectation from our ownselves and those around us. We have set our own standards of calculating others devotion to their faith.

We refuse to realise that our negativity and lack of knowledge regarding our religion is pushing people towards disbelief. As the youth is looking up to the elders ,following their examples, and all they can witness is extremism,  lack of acceptance,  if you are slightly different from others , you’re considered a persona non grata.Another irony is when the self appointed “saint muslims” point fingers at nonbelievers and their Injustices ,trying to blame others ,regardless of our shallow practices. The non Muslim west dislike us or treat us wrongly due to their ignorance,in present times they are brainwashed by the media and their politicians,  how can we blame them ? When we are doing worst to each other. Travel from one part of eastern Muslim lands to another and if the colour of your skin, language, ethnicity or the way you offer prayer is different for them they’ll make you feel unwelcomed swiftly , at the rate of knots.

Buckle Up for The Bumpy Road Of Marriage

  To be in a relationship is a huge commitment , to fight monotony,  differences,  difference of opinions , habits,  thoughts, ideas and embracing your partner with all of the challenges is not a piece of cake. Although it seems like super easy in the beginning,  when we are living it half in reality and the other half in the world of dreams. However when you take your vows and begin to live a routine together , with all it's realities and responsibilities,  it might turn into a challenge at some point , for every couples, although it's intensity might be different.  It won't be wrong to say that the biggest challenge of present times is boredom and the distractions we find to overcome that makes it even worse .In the past human beings were generally suffice with whatever they had , they were grateful for everything in their lives ,perhaps due to the fact that they were able to achieve those things after a great struggle,  Nowadays it's the opposi...

The Magical Beans Of Al Mokha In Yemen

  There are a huge number of people in every corner of the world who are addicted to coffee, from opening their eyes and crawling out of bed for a hot cuppa to drinking this beverage whole day till they hit the sack again .The legend has it that the magical beans were discovered by the Sufi mystics in  the vibrant and warm land of Yemen.
