How can I make a change to the condition of the ummah?

[transition?]

Sis,

put it this way... u start a khilafah, the kuffar will think u started an army... They will think Islam is spreading by sword... They will believe Islam as a terrorist religion.

It best to clear this negativity images in non-muslim mind and educate how peaceful the religion is before one can think of such movement.

Beside our muslim brothers are too involved into politics and nationalism that they do not have time for a khilafah movement.

Believe me sis, I would love to see a khilafah where we have a leader who can speak behalf of ALL muslims.

Even though we know the khilafah will be very beneficial, it will create unity, it will be fair to all inclusive of non-muslim matters, etc..., u cannot create a khilafah and make more enemies than we have.. We already have enough on the plate.

A khilafah will literally mean war between Muslims and non muslims.

The Muslims are blessed. Don't fear the kuffar! You think that will be a good excuse on the Day of Judgement? How will we confront Allah (swt) on the Day of Judgement with excuses?!
Who cares what they call us, we try and do everything to correct it but the enemies of Allah (swt) are at work.
The enemies plan, but Allah is the Best Planner!


Just think of the Muslimahs, they call us terrorist and backward and when they cover up.... but they know we are only on this Earth to follow the Command of Allah (swt) despite the consequences on this Earth. Life is temporary but our final abode is eternity!

We can live peacefully as another nation. But the enemies of Islam will never rest to misconstrue the image of Islam, but that should not be our excuse. What they do never stops us if we try. Because Allah (swt) is Our Helper.

[Mulk 67:20] Or which army do you have that will help you against the Most Gracious? The disbelievers are in nothing except an illusion.


Not only that is that He blesses us with Sustenance, Knowledge, Imaan !
[Mulk 67:21] Or who is such that will give you sustenance if Allah stops His sustenance? In fact they persist in rebellion and hatred.


Fear the Wrath of Allah (swt) than what the kuffar think and do! For this life is temporary and the Hereafter is for an eternity! Are you ready to risk billions and billions of years in Hellfire


Btw, a Muslim Caliph is not alone. He has the help of the Scholars. He can make mistakes but we have an entire body to govern us and correct the Caliph if needed.

I agree that the Khilafah should be re-established. Unfortunately it was abolished by the westerners many centuries ago. With a Khaleefah we can do wonders insha'Allah.

Since this was how Islam started, we must continue with it.

"O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy." [Surah Al-Baqarah - 2:208]

The condition of the Ummah will never change untill n unless the come back to the Quran n Sunnah n abandon the innovations n shirk n sins.


Allah's help does not come to Ummahs filled with shirk n sins n innovations n far away from the deen



situation of Ummahs do not change unless they change their selfes

unless creeds n aqaidh change

unless quran n sunnah is followed

Only difficult thing is that the police arrests anyone who tries to make a difference.

I think Allah is in control of all that not any one of us. After all it is not in our hands to change people. What is in our hands is changing ourselves though. I think we must focus on what we can do and not what we cannot do.

Spreading awareness of what Islam truly is by being the best representative of Islam is the best place to start. Become as knowledgeable as you can about what Islam is, the Qur'an, sunnah, etc. Work with your local Islamic community and Masjid and do charity events. Many towns and cities may have cultural centers, where activities or presentations of any religion and culture can be done. Even local schools, may be willing to allow a Muslim to speak about Islam to educate children.

Get a group of your brothers or sisters together, brain storm ideals on how to present a better light on Islam to your local communities. Raising public awareness can go a long way to showing what true Islam is. So many people have incorrect information about Islam. Women are oppressed because they are made to cover, they are beaten by their husbands/fathers etc. (maybe this does happen but its not something encouraged or even lawful in Islam itself) Nor are Muslims all terrorists etc. Just informing people they have only ever truly heard one side of the story can go a long way to open their minds to learn more.

Misinformation is a big problem in all aspects of life. Many people just assume what they see on TV or read online is the truth, or what their parents tell them is the truth. Some of it of course is true but often its truth based on incorrect facts, outright lies, rumors etc. Or simply media sensationalizing some minor or totally untrue thing to sell the story. One thing I have noticed in my translation of the Qur'an is the emphasis on learning, of using your reason, to see the truth. So many people don't bother looking for answers..or just accept the first answer they get, even if the source is totally wrong.

Thus, taking the time to have your community or even youth group to work up on presenting the truth of Islam can help your local Muslim and non-Muslim community. Maybe compile the Top 10 Myths people believe about Muslims and explain why they are wrong with good solid facts. Or even conducting a survey, ask random people what they think when they hear Islam or Muslim... things like that.

Or, as mentioned before, could help local charities, raise awareness or funds to give to the poor.
