I'm wondering if this is wrong
the thing is.. I'm a sunni-muslim Saudi arab and I can't help it, but see other muslims as inferiors, people below me. I see myself as the the one who made them muslim
whenever I meet a muslim that's not saudi, I feel like he is following my religion and that he is my slave making the religion us Saudis started (Islam) bigger and bigger. they are just adding numbers to our religion
I feel like that because I'm saudi arab and that is where Islam started. I feel like us Saudi Arabs are the originals and everyone else who follows Islam is just a copy
it was the Saudi Arabs that made the world muslim through slaughter and war and rape
saudi arab warriors fought berbers of north africa and conquered it and made it muslim
saudi arab warriors fought against persia and destroyed it and made iran muslim. they killed assyrians and made iraq and syria muslim. they fought christians of levantine and made them muslim
saudi arabs made africans muslim through slavery
we conquered spain and made it muslim
we conquered asia
and the list goes on
umar ibn khattab RA, Khalid ibn al walid RA, hamza ibn mutalib RA, Uqba ibn Nadi RA etc. and all other saudi warriors and their soldiers fought against everyone and won and they became muslim
Islam is from Saudi Arabia
Quran was made in Saudi Arabia
our beloved prophet Muhammad Rasul'Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) was from Saudi Arabia
the most holy place on Earth is in Saudi Arabia
I'm very proud of my country and I feel superior to other muslims
I'm not trying to be insulting, but I just wanted to express my feelings. I've tried changing my ways of thinking, but it's always back there in my mind "you are superior because you are saudi etc." how do I change thinking like this?
I've even stopped going to the mosque because there are no saudis in my mosque
is it wrong I feel like this?? if it is, do you have any advice to change how I think/feel?
please
thank you

sorry
Walaikum Hello,
You already have got a very true and good answer above by @
AabiruSabeel already. Whatever the Arabs might be, but you are the worst of Arabs because the Quran has not influenced youر heart, while your thinking is showing that you are very much influenced by Westerner writers about Islam. How can you claim to be better while there is a clear hadith about people like you:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “No one who has an atom’s-weight of Pride in his heart will enter Paradise.” A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, what if a man likes his clothes and his shoes to look good?” He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “Allah is Beautiful and loves beauty, Pride means rejecting the truth and looking down on people.”
[Sahih Muslim]
You are an ignorant person, you have used the words "slaughter, rape and violence" for the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) in your ignorance.
Abu Jehal (Umer bin Hasham) and Abu Lahab etc spent their lives inside Kaa'ba but still they were the worst of the people. So please correct your mind and make repentance to Allah SWT in abundance, maybe Allah SWT will put Hidayah" in your heart.
