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.

Pearls of Wisdom by Luqman a.s To his Son

we  humans are born with flaws ,imperfections, habits and natures of our own , pride,anger,lying,selfishness,arrogance are a part of us ,some admit them and have the abundance of one of these mentioned cruel attitudes in them ,others refrain to see their flaws and end up hurting others with their attitude and behaviors . while reciting Quran i am always amazed by the simple daily life matters and human faults and weaknesses it is addressing to ,the issues of this generation and showing them the rite path.  like today i was reciting surah al-Luqman and when i reached the verses where Luqman a.s who was a wise man of his time , his wisdom impressed the angles and Allah showered him with more light of guidance and praised him , he gave few very important advice's to his son with such polite and loving words that we can feel them . 1:                                     ...

Change The Way They Look At You

  Life is always developing,  growing and evolving,  from human bodies to their internal growth it’s a journey,  where almost nothing is static , when we are little we might have held a certain toy tigher to ourselves,  after few years we completely ignore it like it was worthless , or during our teens the activities and adventures we try despite all the  opposition & disapproval for that certain thing ,but we still eagerly try it ,because at that time it seems the most exciting thing to us, though after few years when we look back it seems utterly foolish , a lover, for whom we might be willing to die for cried rivers and buckets of tears, missed many heart beats in our twenties, turns into out most awaful crush of the past when we are more mature and get some perspective on life,  we laugh at those times of childishness. It’s not just an individual going through this process of change but everyone around that individual has their opinions develop...
