The Muslim of Today

[Khalid Saifullah]

Knows how to recite the Kalima
but doesn't care about it's objective.

Can watch vulgar movies with the family, but is too "shy" to expose his ankles/cover his head in public.

If has one degree, will go for another one
but has no idea about the small yet very important day to day duas.

Has memorised all the favorite players of his team,
but doesn't know the names of the prominent sahabas.

Will teach his daughter to cover herself, but will never teach his son to lower his gaze.

Knows everything about the lifestyles of the 'Rich and Famous"
but little does he know about the lifestyle of his Beloved Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

Wants to learn foreign languages for the worldly benefit
but can not recite Surah Fatiha with Tajweed.

Gives the best quality goods and services to his clients,
but does he ever think about the quality of the Namaz that he presents before Allah.

Is up to date with the worldly news
but it won't be surprising if he doesn't know the fardh in Ghusl.

Will always be before or on time to work, but seldom will he get Takbiratul ihram in the Masjid.

Is a slave and follows his Nafs his whole life
and consoles himself by saying Allah is Ghafurrur Rahim.

Believes that being clean shaved is 'cleanliness'
and keeping the sunnah beard is being 'dirty'.

Is worried about the appearance of the body
but doesn't bother about the dirtiness and hardness of the heart.

Is very satisfied with little deen,
but is not satisfied with little duniya.

Loves his Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wasallam very much,
but adores and adopts the lifestyles of his enemies (i.e. the kuffar).

Rushes out of the mosque as soon as the prayer is concluded as if someone is waiting to shoot him if he doesn't.

Practices part time islam
but wants to overpower the full time sheitaan.

Is ready to leave his family and travel for as long as required for worldly benefit but has no time to go out in the path of Allah and learn Deen.

Totally agree but not one point. I don't know many Muslims who tell their daughters to cover up.

It's sad that Muslim girls dress more like tarts and wear more make up than non Muslim girls.

Greetings,

Can watch vulgar movies with the family, but is too "shy" to expose his ankles/cover his head in public.

What is this about exposing ankles? I've never heard of this before.

Peace

It's quite possible that some people are of this kind.
