wa alaykum us-Salaam
in short we have sold our 3izzah for the dunya. we were only truly successful-in everything-when we adhered to our deen. when we didnt, things started going haywire.
but dont forget the small minority of muslims who are sincere towards thier deen are the exact muslims who you will find successful...even by thier own brethren in faith, they will be called by "extremists."
mean why aren’t Muslims prepared to go out of their way to support other Muslims.
becuase then we would be locked up and jailed!
For example why are Jews so successful in everything they do even though they are small in number, yet Muslims are greater in number but suffer from lack of success.
becuase we do things sincerely and honestly. we would get more money too if we stole peoples wealth and claimed it as our own.
Could it be that the Jews have held on the Muslim belief of brotherhood better than Muslims? They must’ve because you don’t have to look hard at them to realise that Jews put the benefit of their fellow brethren before the benefit of others.
And that is reflected in their successful businesses wherever they go all over the world.
other than their help from the US, their stealing of Palestinian wealth and lands, i fail to see where the success comes from. :hmm: is that what we want?
If only us Muslims are able to apply such discipline in the way we benefit others we would truly gain independence economically and socially.
we do. we just gave to adhere to the quran and sunnah.
Why can’t Muslims be like the Jews?
no, dont say "why cant Muslims be more like Jews" (or chritians, etc), say "why cant Muslims be like Rasoolullah!"everything you have mentioned of brotherhood, etc is found in the way of your Prophet, sallalahu aleyhi wa sallam...
no-one is (or atleast shouldnt be) our qudwah (example) other than rasoolullah, and that's what we should aim to be like...looking at other people and longing for what they have is useful and makes matters worse, especially when we have everything we need within our our faith.
