What is the solution to the ummah's problems. (OP)
i wanted to start a really active healthy discussion on an important issue, and to do so i would like to ask whoever reads this, 3 questions :
1. Define the problems of the ummah.
2. What are the solutions to the ummah's problems.
3. How do you fit into that solution
It is hypocritical to provide a solution which you do not fit into yourself, i will reply soon inshaAllah im kind of writing this quite lazily (because its day) and maybe at night when i am slightly more philosophical i will come back to reply with my answers.
Hehe! Critique my content sister not the delivery!
(come on, you're a graduate now!)
Al Walaau wal Barah - yes - I have all their records...
If i called you a jaahil fool, and then qouted an ayah, would that not just be moronic? How is anyone going to take anyone's advice if we are rude and have no manners. People would convert after coming to see the Prophet (SAW) before even speaking to him, because of his impeccable manners that they witnessed. It's all part of the baggage, you have to have manners whilst giving Da'wah. Anyway this off-topic so please just remember what i've said!
a reeeeeeaaaaaaally good cure wud b act as tho ALLAH ALONE SEE's you, act as tho nothin matters but what Allah will think!
But i think only the MOST pious can achieve such a feet! (how is that spelt?)
A person cannot achieve greatness unless he prays tahajjud accordin to our nabi saws!

I agree. But what I mean is this: When the Companions were told to do something, they simply said, "We hear and we obey." They didn't sit around and use their own intellect to try and justify to what extent they should or should not do something. If something was doubtful, they stayed away from it in order to safegaurd their deen. But today, Muslims have mixed alot of culture and "modern day thinking" in with the deen. WE are the ones that make things complicated. Following the Sunnah is easy. Remember, Allah gave us the PERFECT example.
Actually, the Prophet's companions and wives did question his orders, when they were not divinely revealed. There are several instances in which the Prophet was redirected by those close to him, which provides an excellent example of what leaders do- they draw from the talents of those who follow them, to everyone's benefit. And that's a fraction of the reason why I love him so.
Actually, the Prophet's companions and wives did question his orders, when they were not divinely revealed.
Never did the companions hesitate to carry out the Prophet's orders. Seeking clarification is a totally different issue. To suggest that Muslims are supposed to subject the Prophet's orders to their own judgement before implementing them is to deny the explicit verses of the Qur'an:
33:36. It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.
24:51. The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allah and His Messenger, to judge between them, is that they say: "We hear and we obey." And such are the prosperous ones.
No doubt the Prophet Muhammad pbuh engaged in Shura (consultation) with his companions even though as a Prophet there was no need for him to do so - and this was to set an example for all Muslims that if the Prophet pbuh consulted and discussed his decisions with others than how can any of us abandon this. But to suggest that the companions only followed the Prophet after his commands had passed through their intellectual filter is completely wrong.
Muslims are to return to Islam as it was revealed by Allah in the Qur'an, explained by the Prophet in the Sunnah, and understood by the early generations of Muslims.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Surely I was sent to perfect the qualities of righteous character" [Musnad Ahmad, Muwatta Mâlik]
This is the reason why the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam) said that the Ummah would split into 73 sects and that the ones who would be sucessful were the ones who did what? Follow what the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhe wa Sallam) and his Companions were on (back then). It really is that plain and simple.
I do not do the things I do because I feel like it, think it is right, or sometimes even want to do it (for selfish reasons). I do them because Allah and His Messenger (Alaye Salatu-wa-Sallam) have told me to. Case in point:
1) I wear a beard because I was told to by the Prophet (Alayhe Salatu-wa-Sallam)
2) He also told me to wear my garments above my ankles.
3) I have been ordered to Maintain my wife by providing food, shelter and clothing. No 50-50 like is common amongst the non-Muslims.
I could give hundreds of other examples, but they were just a few. There are only 2 choices you have - either obey Allah and His Messenger (Alayhe Salatu-wa-Sallam) or disobey and suffer the consequences!
Kemal Attaturk was the one who destroyed the caliphate, so people like him are going to CAUSE EVEN MORE PROBLEMS for the ummah!
I get the impression our little jedi is having a troll-y moment...
Besides Ataturke didn't destroy the Caliphate - the decadent Ottomans who falsely purported to represent Islam destroyed it. Kemal simply kicked a twitching corpse, bloated from the excesses of corruption, decadence and hypocrisy.
Let us not forget, God created Kemal Ataturk and for a very good reason.
We'd like to blame anyone but ourselves as we still do today. The truth is, the finger should be pointed firmly at ourselves for all of our ills. The Ottomans brought about their own ruin.
