Suffering Muslims around the world

[anatolian]

You've been proven wrong given the history. How then Ottoman empire vanished and we got divided into nations and states? Didn't you know that the core of sufism is in Turkey (however, it's innovation and we all know that)? How come so much dhikir and everything happened? How come sultans were sufis and did all the dhikir in multiple times, like you suggest and still didn't marry, took women as slaves, didn't follow sunnah and rule was dynasty which is opposite from Sunnah?

States are like human beings. They cant live forever. It is incorrect to relate the fall of the Ottoman state to sufism. Ottomans were sufis when they were ruling three continents as well. The Turkish Islam has always been influenced by the sufi interpretation of Islam. There was always a sufi sheikh praying for the succes of the state and teaching the sultan the taqwa. Several things caused the fall of the Ottoman state. There is not a single reason.

Assalamu alaikum,

What is going on in India? I found some social media posts that a genocide is possible there against our brothers and sisters. Is there anyone from India in this forum?

I've just seen horrible video on reels from Palestine.

Ya Ummah, can we do anything to support and help our brothers and sisters there, in Yemen, China, Ukraine? Can we make congregational prayer simultaneously for them? Anything?

It aches so much to see them suffering and being isolated with no protection and abandoned by us. There are cca 1.8 billions of Muslims, how can we be so weak and fragile? It's all because we're disunited!!! Are we just waiting for Mahdi to come?

Walaikumsalam

I am from India and I feel these are some of the reasons, why Muslims are suffering mainly in India (and also across the world)

1. Insulting Hindu Gods

Allah has clearly prohibited in Quran not to insult other Gods. If you do, then others will also insult Allah out of ignorance (This ayah is in Sur e Anam)

2. Debating with others

Many Muslims don't know what is Islam. They just take Islam for granted and believe, since they are born Muslim, they should support Muslims and Islam. Out of this thought, they start defending everything which comes their way related to Islam. Wheras Prophet Mohammed clearly mentioned in one hadith which says that, previously nations were destroyed because of debates. I was not sent to debate. And debating is wrong. Follow what I command and leave what i stop from. (This hadith is in Sunnah Abu Dawood)

I have read thousands of book. There is one book called as "How to win friends". I read in that book. When you debate with someone, even if you win. You are leaving an enemy behind.

3. Arrogance

Many Muslims believe they are the best chosen one by Allah and see all other people as low class and insult them. This triggers hatred among others.

4. Misinterpretation of Islam

Many Muslims think, debating and insulting others on social media is serving Islam in this era.

5. Selfish & No political knowledge

Muslims don't see political parties as their supporters. Recent case, some Muslim insulted Hindu God. Because of which, one woman insulted Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). Now Muslims want secular Hindu leaders to support Muslims. Why will they support if you insult their God ? But we want him to support, else we will start insulting him too. Basically, Muslims want everyone who claims to be secular, to lick their boots. Because of which, they get no respect from even secular parties.

These are just a few things, which muslims continue to do. And get increasing wrath from even Secular hindu's in India. I personally believe, this wrath is brought by own our hands by leaving the teachings of Islam. Nothing to blame others. Same is the case with other countries.

Frankly, as a true Muslim. I am more afraid of Muslims than Hindus. Because, if you say a good word to a Hindu, he will die for you out of respect. But, if you do a good thing for Muslim, he will cheat you on your face. Unfortunately, this is the status of Muslims and thus the problems and sufferings across the world. There are definitely many good Muslims. And Allah is saving the world because of them.

Some of the above brother wealthbuilder is true, but we should not make bad opinions about others, especially practicing muslims, should have husn al zan and try to correct bad behaviours with allegories, stories etc. in best of ways and in private.

Other what could be prescribed is to increase nawafils, as it is a lot better to recite salawat, kalima tamjid etc. than to argue with hindus, especially low with knowledge or spiritual degrees and cummulative nawafil counts.

Hindus can beidhnillah often harm muslims with their sihr too if not using our time well.

I am from India and I feel these are some of the reasons, why Muslims are suffering mainly in India (and also across the world)

The reasons you list could explain smaller scale attacks, however, they do not account for a genocide against all Muslim men, women and children, as is happening in a number of places around the world. There is clearly hatred for the religion of Islam and its followers, hence we find extreme measures being taken in places like China where Muslims are being forced to change their identity. It is not simply about Muslims insulting other gods or lacking etiquette of debate.

Many Muslims don't know what is Islam. They just take Islam for granted and believe, since they are born Muslim, they should support Muslims and Islam. Out of this thought, they start defending everything which comes their way related to Islam. Wheras Prophet Mohammed clearly mentioned in one hadith which says that, previously nations were destroyed because of debates. I was not sent to debate. And debating is wrong. Follow what I command and leave what i stop from. (This hadith is in Sunnah Abu Dawood)

I am not sure I follow this point. Why would it be wrong to defend everything about Islam, when we know Islam is the only true Religion? I wonder if the Hadith you mean to quote is the following:

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, “What I have forbidden for you, avoid. What I have ordered you [to do], do as much of it as you can. For verily, it was only the excessive questioning and their disagreeing with their Prophets that destroyed [the nations] who were before you.” [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Debating is of different types; debating to show the truth and refute falsehood when it is hoped that this will benefit and it is not feared that this would lead to unfavourable consequences - this is not blameworthy.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:

ٱدۡعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ وَٱلۡمَوۡعِظَةِ ٱلۡحَسَنَةِ-ۖ وَجَـٰدِلۡهُم بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحۡسَنُ-ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ-ۖ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them with that which is best. Truly, your Lord best knows who has strayed from His path, and He best knows those who are guided.

And Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows best.

Walaikumsalam.

There is definitely hatred for Muslims. Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) said, all the other religions are together in showing hatred against Muslims. But because of good behavior taught by Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), many non-muslims have always trusted and respected Muslims. Even today, there are many hindu's I know personally who respect people who have beard and say that these people do not drink alcohol and say the truth. I personally experienced, the police drunk and drive checking. Seeing my beard, they don't even stop.

You can not compare India to china. India unlike china is a democratic and secular country. Muslims have every right to live equally as per other religions. I know many cases, where courts have ruled in favor of Muslims against Hindus. Currently, there is hard-core hindu chief minister ruling one state uttar pradesh in India. Even he many times, allowed Muslims to follow their religion. For example, he banned praying openly but allowed Muslims to register 4 marriages in govt record, which is part of Islam. For this, I saw few Muslim leaders commenting on him like, "even your father will accept Islamic rules". Which will only trigger more hatred.

When Sahaba went to various rulers, they were polite and because of which they were given asylum. If you go to the ruler and start insulting him. He will have you killed.

I am not sure I follow this point. Why would it be wrong to defend everything about Islam, when we know Islam is the only true Religion? I wonder if the Hadith you mean to quote is the following:

Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them with that which is best. Truly, your Lord best knows who has strayed from His path, and He best knows those who are guided.

And Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows best.

I apologize, I was not clear. I know many so called Muslim representatives who abuse hindu's to the extent like "i will f**k your mother" and all this is done in the name of "love for Prophet Mohammed (pbuh)". And few muslims support them openly and see these people as heros.

I am good aware of defending Islam and alhamdulillah have done personally many times. But defending all those things which inislamic in the name of Islam is a serious sin and it will have its side effects.

Brother mohammed, i meant following hadith

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: A group was sitting by the door of the Prophet (صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) and some of them said, “Did Allah not say this?” Others said, “Did Allah not say this?” The Prophet (صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) heard that and he came out, his face red with anger like a pomegranate seed. The Prophet (صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said, “With this I commanded you? Or with this I was sent you? For you to dispute parts of the Book of Allah by others? Verily, the nations before you were led astray by the likes of this. You are doing nothing good here. Look at what I have commanded you and act by it. What you have been prohibited, then do not do it.” (Musnad Aḥmad 6845)

I haven't been around for a long time and now I see my thread is still active.

Yes, it's true many Muslims behave in a wrong way. In Europe, "Muslims" (those with Muslim name and origin, like Turks and Arabs) behave like horrible criminals, driving around in expensive cars with "religious" music and of course the present Islam as a very bad and demonic religion. This, all of course due to ignorance. I understand that Muslims in India do some bad stuff as well like everywhere around the world. Again - those non practicing Muslims only, but they're in majority.

Still, we are not doing much to prevent all this. Dawah should be given to non practicing Muslims as well and not only to non-Muslims. And when we see abuse in Palestine or India on Instagram, we only comment/share or donate and forget about everything and go back to our lives. This is not what Ummah should be. Ummah is like one body and it's sick today.

Let's understand two things

(i) While 95% of the Muslims have emotions for Islam and the Prophet (pbuh), unfortunately they do not have proper leadership. Every one talks of uniting the ummah, but no one comes forward on larger scale. Like building international apolitical organization. It's not easy, it needs lot of funding and coordination. And today, Muslims do not want to invest into any such thing, which won't give them monetary profit.

A simple step to world leadership is fist appointing representatives in every country. Further they will take the cause in their own country and appoint state wise representatives, they will further appoint city wise representatives. If we have proper funds, this work will be done smoothly in just a month or two. Then what ever communication is there it can be easily spread and reach to all Muslims. The initial communication can be like to understand how important it is to work under one platoform

Note: I have taken this initiative and connected with people on lot of platforms. Still trying to enroll, but its very hard to, as I have very limited financial source. Most of the Muslims are busy with their work and on social media, there are many influencers. When we talk to them, all they want is how much money I can pay to them for making a video. However, alhamdulillah there few people who are already helping me in various fields.

Threat: However, though all these things can be done. The main problem here is threat of jealously, competition and leadership. It's hard to find Muslims who solely work for the sake of Allah. Just an another day, I saw some Muslims objecting to construction of Masjid, because they don't like the committee member. So imagine, when Muslims have jealously on these simple things, how they can bear this big task without politics. And this jealousy and hatred is killing the Muslims from inside and interestingly these are all haram in Islam. But still Muslims do.

(ii) Commenting, sharing and donating are not going to solve the problem. Most of the donations made are just being utilized as expenses to solve the current problems like food, shelter etc... We need to donate and build some strong institutions. Especially technical training centers which will train into real skills which will help youngsters to get the job. There is also important need for building entrepreneurs who will create halal business and provide halal employment to Muslims. Only when we have strong economical background. We can achieve all these tasks.

There are many people who have build schools etc.. But the quality of education is just conventional. No much practical knowledge and even after completion of studies, the students have no clear goals. Hence, lot of focus should be put on practical education, which will transform students to game changes like scientists, entrepreneurs, politicians etc..

You said you're from India, right? Do you have a wife, sister or female relative with whom I could talk about all the stuff you posted here? I'm campaigner, professionally, and am excited to explain how this works.

And don't overthink, for in every cause it's all the same: poverty, kids, environment, etc. Only minority are sincere and most of grassroot activism does everything without money.

Important quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." And I'm sure Allah will put barakah in it

Please let me know if I can speak to a female related to the campaign. I don't care about money, I care about Allah and Judgment Day.

I am not married and my mother and sisters feel I am foolish about thinking to unite Ummah. Personally I am engineering graduate with masters plus I read lot of books about Islamic History and many greats rulers and entrepreneurs. Because, they follow this method to keep the people united and execute the task. I feel I have all the skills to implement this cause, but there are some key factors.

People join any cause for two reasons (i) personal benefit (ii) personal attachment

Personal benefit is like getting some money or position. In our case, it should be personal attachment as we are doing this for the sake of Allah. But unfortunately the ummah is not able to see any kind of attachment. Why ? Because as Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) said, there will be time when Muslims will suffer, because they start loving the worldly benefits. So, what happening now is exactly as per hadith.

Now for example, In India the prime minister is core Hindu activist. He promises Hindu's of security from Muslims. Now the prices for gas has gone from Rs. 400 to Rs. 1100. These people don't care, they say we will vote only this Prime Minister. By utilizing this one statement, he sold almost all of the public sector companies to private sector. Everyone knows this, but most Hindus are more loyal to prime minister. Why? Only because he can save them from Muslims.

Unfortunately, we would use Muslim incidents to teach morals to others. But today, it has become vice versa. We are using other peoples examples like Isreal for development and Hindus for unity. Interesting fact here is, Hindus have so many castes, even like they wont allow some caste people (called as untouchables) to walk before them and compare them with pigs. And Islam rejects all these. But still, they are becoming united. And we becoming fools.

Important quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." And I'm sure Allah will put barakah in it

I believe this. Even one person who is determined is enough to change the world. InshaAllah it will happen. We start walking, people will join. But as of now, we don't have any women who understand my concept deeply. There are two females working with us, but they just support in their free time and cant even talk in english. At this time, I request people to give what ever time possible. At least 5 minutes a day is enough to start bringing the change.

 

[Murid]

Some muslim majority countries give recently a lot of good example of advancements in technology (like Dubai, Saudi Arabia), construction of infrastructure (Turkey, Egypt).

Some humanitarian organisations are very good (and you, ummah needs only to donate).

Examples are Muslimcharity, Islamic Aid, Muslim hands, Islamic Relief etc.

Interesting are sadaqah jariya projects.
For example Muslimhands build healthcare, water wells, classrooms, ambulances and other healthcare, mosques with madrasas etc.

It would be great if your community would help build in a village say large solar well, mosque with madrasa, ambulance etc.

What I find is that there lack the projects of wealth and income building like working machines, industry, farming, cattle, maybe services, programming etc.

Say if you build a mosque and madrasa, they will probably lack a lot of money to run, keep clean, buy books and computers, pay the bills, salaries and other running costs.

In general to learm leadership, we need I think some multiple major schooling, say at least an MBA and an additional diploma in the field you are involved, say MD, computers, engineering, islamic sciences and so on.

I know good examples of muslims getting multiple diplomas abd studying for at least a decade at universities.

Good funding and scholatships help a lot.

Everything said is "more dunya" aspect, but we need and the most of improvement will be inshaAllah from better ibadah knowledge and more practice.

Brother, there is lot of difference between looking beautiful and being powerful. Dubai is a beautiful Islamic country, do you think any other country gives importance to it's opinions. No. Whereas to some extent, Qatar at least takes stand on Islamic perspectives. What did it get in return ? Ban from all GCC countries. But still, Qatar is not so powerful. Today to some extent, Turkey takes some stand on Islamic Perspective. We need a country, where it's opinions matter to the world. And that is called as Powerful Country. And today out of about 57 Muslim countries which are part of OIC, there is no such country which we can consider as Powerful.

Coming to mosques. Many of today's Muslims consider it as as sadaqa jariya. It's good and should be done. But unfortunately I see it as a complete change of priorities. Today we are building the most beautiful mosques. I don't know about other countries, but in India, the mosque committee is ready to invest lakhs of rupees on making mosque beautiful. And they are not ready to give more than Rs. 6000/- ($75) to Imams.

I remember of a incident when Uqba bin nafey was conquering Africa, two people came to him in disguise to sell prayer mats. They were actually hiding weapons in it. They some how convinced the guards and reached Uqba. They said, we heard lot about your good mannerisms. You don't hurt people when you win over them. So, we thought to give you a gift. Uqba asked them what is the gift. They said, you pray on ground, so we brought you mats made of best cloth, so they give you comfort while praying. Uqba said to them. We pray on ground and we do not need mats. They insisted alot, but uqba rejects their gifts and send them back. Later on a women from this groups becomes Muslim and reveals this secret to Uqba. ( I read this in a historical book Uqba bin Naafi - Faateh Africa written by Aslam Rahi MA). When this incident happened, he was conquering Africa.

Whether the incident is true or not is a different thing. But everyone of us know, how Sahaba fought to spread Islam without food and shelter. It was their priority, all the money which was collected in baitul mal was used for the security of Muslims. Today, the money of Muslims is distributed and not collective. Hence, no one can make anything productive. And who ever wishes to donate, their only priority is to build mosques and other minor issues. Which is a very good thing and must be done, but it doesn't add to security of Muslims.

Today, the need of the hour is to donate collectively for one cause, that is to empower Muslims. Start businesses which create employment, build organizations which do humanitarian works under one banner, establish technical institutes which give training for employment, train Muslims to become political leaders, get into government positions and work for the welfare of the community. And show the world, that Islam is powerful and peaceful. Then only, people will start taking Muslims seriously and it will stop all the problems faced by Muslims today.

After doing all this, then we pray to Allah to put barakah in our actions. This is what Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) has taught us. When ever, there was a war. The first thing, Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and the Companions did was to enter the battle field and then Pray. No where, you can see that they just sat in Mosque and were praying for some miracle to happen. Mircales happen, when you stand in the field.

Today, there is no need for any kind of wars. All we need to do is build a strong economy and the world will take notice of your importance and dominance. Why did the companions conquered the world ? Only to establish the dominance of Islam. They were not power or money hungry. Today, we need to do the same thing. We don't need to die today, we just need to become a leader.

Assalamualaikum

I am not sure, how to get in touch

 

[Murid]

What is your aim, what are the goals?

Msybe it is better to provide more education, welfare, social security, healthcare throught know how and donations etc., than to set the minds of weak, uneducated muslims against their neighbors power and dominance. As you said India is a secular country and you do not need that, and the best way towards is throught other means like above and espevially throught our increased nearness to Allah, nawafil ibadah, power of duas, karanah etc.

Look for example how was islam brought to Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. There were no wars, but remarkable altruism, donations, healing, karamah.

Msybe it is better to provide more education, welfare, social security, healthcare throught know how and donations etc., than to set the minds of weak, uneducated muslims against their neighbors power and dominance. As you said India is a secular country and you do not need that, and the best way towards is throught other means like above and espevially throught our increased nearness to Allah, nawafil ibadah, power of duas, karanah etc.

Look for example how was islam brought to Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia. There were no wars, but remarkable altruism, donations, healing, karamah.

Walaikumsalam

My aim is to make Muslims advance in everything like emaan, education, technology and politics. I strongly believe doing war is foolish in today's atmosphere and against all forms of terrorism. This is the era of democracy.

Good goals mashaAllah, but you first must put tremendous efforts and show a right example and act throught it along with tremendous altruism, not forgeting zeal and efforts in knowledge of getting closer to Allah, to be helped amd protected along the path.

Your post about copywriting is a good one, but it is not that easy from a non educated muslum view.

Just an example.
They must know how to use computers, they should know how to touch-type, they should probably know at least English as foreign language at CEFR rating of C1 or better C2, they should have faster computers, housing, fast internet.
The whole lifestyle should not be ignored, such as fitnes, nutrition, supplementation, socialising, fardh and nawafil ibada regularly and so on.
A better copywriter should have some formal education majors too.

You want to get a good example of muslims, excelling, not a rookie or mediocore low earning copywriter.

Just examples to think about broader and deeper.

That is what everyone thinks and stay from the simple jobs. A copy writer doesn't need to be a specialist or he needs any degree. He should be someone who knows proper grammar (only basis) and how to make sentences. Applications like grammarly auto suggest good English. So, all he need to do is just select the suggestion and make sure it fits properly into his paragraph.

And you need basic computer, any place (people do writing work by traveling the world) and basic internet. I know few people who just use phones hotspot and some even just use phone to write content. It's all about making a start, if you wish to start and earn. You can do anything. If you wait for something best to happen, it may never happen. You need to start small and reach that stage.

Same things happening with the Ummah today, being united and doing constructive work is very very easy. But everyone thinks, we need lot of resources and just keep quiet. If you want to start, you can start small and gradually grow big. The main thing here is "intention". Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) was made Prophet for whole world and until the day of judgement. And he started dawah with 1-2 persons and gradually built the system.

If you do not want to give a lot of know how (and in person donations/stipends and financing start ups) to underpriviliged uneducated muslims, then it is better to donate to organisations like muslim charity. That is simple.

Everything what you did mention about copywriting seems easy for a say UK or US high school and college graduate, having a PC and internet know-how, but say, as you look the pictures of Bangladeshi, Uganda, Nigeria, Yemeni, India etc. poor muslims, copywriting is almost impossible.

Because of that I wrote the above example.

Maybe you are right in some aspects. Please try to educate towards maintainable work/earnings at least one copywriter.

That will be your start up and you can further improve, say for example as you build baracks or library in Civilisation game.

Maybe it is a lot better to focus into startups, earning and donation towards say madrasa wiyh mashid, community wells, libraries, computers, healthcare and to as wealthy friends to donate.

Maybe to put efforts into both streams amd see what gives more success.
