i think its important we acknowledge and behave as such, that its not just muslims who are "victims" of hate
the victim mentality is unislamic.totally
.i dont need to to tell readers of the history of islam and of the constant trials of our prophets and sahabas and more.
everyone has trials in life,absolutely everyone..the poor,the disabled,the homeless,even the rich,the childless,the ones with cancer,the ones without limbs,without eyes,without hearing,some have parkinsons,autism,polio,spina bifida, leukemia and the list goes on and on.
everyone has some grievance ,a reason to moan,some issue,some test.
.children are bullied to suicide for big ears,a big nose,untrendy trainers,not having the latest phone.
adults are bullied and mocked for their banger of a car,a not so fantastic house,low social status and more
people with stutters,and birthmarks with alopecia,cleft lips,speech impediments,are bullied too.
so who doesnt have problems?
if you cant afford a school trip,your dad drives a banger,you get bullied,again possibly leading to horrible consequences
there is racial,social status,gender,even football team bullying.
ginger hair,no hair,eczema,birthmarks everyone has a story.
i can go on and on some more
but it now appears that some muslim organisations are taking the lead in the "victim industry"..
shall we start to call our prophet s.a.w. a victim
the sahabah r.a. victims?
hazrat bilal r.a. a victim?
and so on and so forth
yet we still whine and complain despite knowing this long history of struggles and trials
have we not learnt anything from the lives of the prophets, the sahabahs, .and others
our dear beloved prophet muhammad s.a.w. was mocked and jeered because all his sons passed away.by allah taalas command.
he was even mocked in front of his wives r.a.
how did he s.a.w. react
.please tell me who on this planet has not been tested.please.
will a muslim not be rewarded for even a thorn prick,a mild headache.have we forgotten that trials are from allah taala to make us travel to allah taala.
no one is saying stop oppression.
just do it like men...like the sahabah r.a.
by returning to allah taala and the sunnah of huzoor s.a.w.
by analysing our own condition
by addressing the rot in our own communities
by self reformation and dealing with our own problems with honesty, effective proactivity and courage.
i read somewhere one sahabah said i fear my sins more than i fear my own enemy.
but we dont want to talk about the sins and crimes and failings of our own community do we?
