This is my rant and point of view, I am really disgusted with these so-called oil rich Arab nations. Every other day they invite a worthless cretin from the west like cruise or those wh*res the 'Kardashians' and squander the money of Muslims on these idiots on such frivolity when literally their next door neighbors are dying for any number of reasons. Since when did the wealth that Allah swt bestowed upon us of natural resources to be wasted on the scum of the earth and since is this money a property of a 'royal family' or a singular region?
Shame on you U.A.E for inviting and wasting the wealth of the Muslims on such people.. what ails you that you should spend the money of Muslims for the cause of Allah. They can't even stand looking at you, they walk apart from you, they treat you like uncivilized low life beggars and with every opportunity are glad to squander your money while smearing your religion and prophet and yet you'd follow them to a mouse trap if they decide it is the in thing.
yes these countries have much wrong with them,but did you not know or choose to ignore that they send millions to muslim countries..lebanon palestine somalia lybia etc and are always first to repsond in humanitarian crises
also dubai does much tp promote learning and knowledge for muslims,,,

I thought it was only non-arabs that got those looks... I got plenty at passport control
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com
oyu are so intent on seeing the bad you cant see any good
When I stop seeing Palestinian children searching in the garbage of their already poor neighbors, when I stop seeing demolition of homes in Quds with ancient infrastructure ruined and families displaced and slaughtered daily, when I stop seeing tens die every day in Syria or neighboring countries, when I stop seeing Sikh temples being built in the U.A.E in lieu of Mosques, when I stop seeing foreign bases built on Muslim land, when I stop seeing clubs with liquor, when I stop seeing the export of *****s and homos etc. etc. all of the wealth of Muslims will I desist of making a thread such as this.
It is the duty of the Muslim to enjoin what is good not kowtow to the effete and to frivolity and when a Muslim sees wrong to change it even if it be in ones heart which is considered the lowest form of Iman!

I am speaking of the looks the kaffirs give their 'Muslim' hosts while sucking their wealth. In other words all they want is the money and to mock all in one breath and we should be ok with it, on the account we shouldn't look at the bad alone or I am surprised of 'minding our own business' didn't rear its ugly head here!

yes your right the whole region is indire situation ,which money alone cant solve....its politics...yes arab coutnries helped fund revoultion in lybia and everyone cried out about that
Arab countries are doing all that is in their power to halt the revolutions in the region as it would spill over to their effete and un-Islamic rule. In fact I am told by a Saudi Friend that males have received the equal of $37000 to nip in the bud any sort of youth uprising. It was the Libyans who freed themselves as are the Yemenis and Egyptians etc. KSA is in fact offering a haven for these despots and bribing youth movements to halt their effort for money so we can spend our lives for generations to come kowtowing to christian fundies and Zionists while laying our region to be raped absolutely raped and pillaged by these Satanists whom these ruling classes enable to freely enter and exit our region and do as they please to its citizens.
do ouy know that gulf countries alone gave more to somalia than most of west
It is incumbent upon Muslims to give without expecting a pat on the back and advertisement.. and apparently they're not giving enough since this is the reality for Somalians
while Tom cruise makes zillions sitting a top Burj khalifah
they do not ignore the plight of those suffering
See above!
so tell me how do you feel living in the country that is helping destroy many muslim countries...does that not bother you
It does indeed!
and I give what I can without advertising, I certainly wouldn't waste millions on Tom Cruise or Kardashians if I had them in lieu of where it actually needs to go!
this point is not meaningless you just choose to disregard it
perhaps you can shed on this little mystery then
my point about beiong in a gulf country is you must have beem= looking for baD THINGS to not see anything good
Go ahead and make the thread on the good of the gulf. This my thread is meant to highlight the state of the ummah as a result of the neglect of a large chunk of it!
I have a friend from the U.A.E and she told me how she sees more and more every day non-Arabs get treated better around the region. She told me everyone kisses up to Europeans and treats their own as lesser beings. I don't know about that as I've never been there but it is disheartening to see countries like Somalia suffering in that way and other Muslim countries not doing quite as much to help alleviate the situation.
Giving aid can only do so much. Africa has been receiving aid for the last forty years and the people there are poorer now than they were in the 1970s so obviously passing off some money and walking away is not the solution. And then of course you have people come in from the West and other Christian organizations who do what they can to help but often times the aid money or meals they receive doesn't come without strings attached to get them to convert or any other political agenda. Before I converted to Islam I saw a video of people in Africa who thought all Americans were nice fun loving Christians and converted to Christianity because they gave them food. I thought that was wrong. So now you have these other organizations going in, diverting people from the deen, while other Muslim nations who have the ability to do something about it, don't. Maybe that's for political reasons or whatever but something is very wrong here.
How can charity be one of the main pillars of Islam yet we as Muslims don't do enough to help our own who are suffering in other parts of the world? This is something that needs to be addressed.
did you not know or choose to ignore that they send millions to muslim countries..lebanon palestine somalia lybia etc and are always first to repsond in humanitarian crises
This is great but that isn't enough. In the last 40 years the United States alone has donated $1 trillion dollars to countries in Africa and they're worse off now than they were before all of the money came in. I think this is something that should be discussed. It's not a good situation. Yes, they might be trying but there is obviously more work to be done.

I don't think the money donated goes to the poor at all, the government of the country just uses the money for themselves instead of helping the population.

Watch this excellent lecture by Sheikh Imran Hosein (Theres around 8 9 parts) The Sheikh explains how the Ottaman empire fell. how and WHY the Saudi's came into power and much more. Its an eye opener
Allah al musta'aan. A glimpse of life for the Arab riches.
Then we have our brothers and sisters in need in Gaza being camped in and slowly dying. We have our brothers and sisters in Africa who life off ants and leaves.
For anyone to even think about defending these selfless beings would be absurd. For anyone to say we shouldn't try and stick up for our oppressed brothers and sisters needs a reality check.
Yes, the Arabs have done some good, but that does not mean we over look their weaknesses and selfless actions.
Wow what has our world come to. Insha Allah the poor people suffering all their lives because their greedy neighbours will not help them will meet Allah with no sin on them.
Makes me wonder if the Prophet PBUH was to look at not just the ummah, but the Arabs in particular, how they are acting and how selfish they are. It's as if they're adamant they're never going to stand before Allah swt and be asked what they did with all their wealth.
These few ayahs come to my mind..
Surah 74-Al-Muddathir
41 "About the criminals,"
42 " [And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"
43 "They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,"
44 "Nor did we used to feed the poor."
you know what is worse than not feeding the poor and even hoarding, squandering it on the worst kinds of kaffirs.. The ones who openly promote prostitution, and devil worship...
Indeed I do wonder how our ummah would be viewed and sob7an Allah how the efforts of those standing in the face of this oppression and moral decay are met with such extreme opposition from outside and inside.. Makes you wonder if these people share our same religion, read the same book, suffer the same plight, or are working toward the same goal..

wla 7wala wla qiwta illa billah..
I understand your frustration. I don't get it. These Muslims are so rich and have access to knowledge from Islamic scholars and are able to use it to do good. Keep in mind, I'm talking about all Muslim leaders (not just Arab Muslim leaders). With the U.A.E specifically, the monarchy disgusts me. It is vile and ugly. One of the prince tortured a man and drove a car over him (there is a video online). They support US interests, exploit migrant workers, do nothing to tackle extreme poverty and waste money (e.g. buying stupid fast cars). The monarchy treats their own pets better than the migrant workers.
Ugh...sometimes I wonder, don't these fools realise what will happen when they die? All that wealth and fame will disappear. You will only be taking your good deeds and your bad deeds. That is all.
I'm more annoyed with Muslims that support these monarchies and leaders. They don't give a crap about you. Why support/defend them?
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
You will only be taking your good deeds and your bad deeds. That is all.
While reading this, a hadeeth came to mind..
Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "The deeds of anyone
of you will not save you (from the (Hell) Fire)." They said, "Even you
(will not be saved by your deeds), O Allah's Apostle?" He said, "No, even I
(will not be saved) unless and until Allah bestows His Mercy on me.
Therefore, do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and worship
Allah in the forenoon and in the afternoon and during a part of the night,
and always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course whereby you will reach
your target (Paradise)."
[Bukhari Vol. 8 : No. 470]
"Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).".."[Al Qur'aan 3:2]
I have travelled to UAE a few times and personally know a migrant worker there from Sharjah who employs many other migrant workers in Dubai as he works in construction and he told me first hand many harrowing stories of how cruel and vile so many of the gulf Arabs there are. Of course there is good and bad everywhere but many of these gulf Arabs are utterly arrogant, cruel and selfish for they care not about other human life.
Many of them think they are superiour to others. The way they treat and exploit the poor migrant workers is truly sickening. Much of the time they don't even pay the migrant workers any wages and make them live in terrible conditions.
A migrant worker can ONLY work in UAE by having a Arab sponsor and this puts those migrant workers in a very vulnerable position where they are easily exploited by those Arab sponsors. My friend told me that he is lucky that his sponsor is ok but still randomly asks for money whenever he wants, but he mentioned that there are some Arab sponsors who have taken all of a migrants money and send them back to their country for no reason.
There are also some sponsors who if they demand money and are not given it have got those migrant workers arrested making false allegations about them and then got them sent back to their countrys with nothing. Much of these migrant workers have a lot of resentment for these gulf Arabs for they way they are treated. It hurt me a lot when i heard some of the storys and the way many migrant workers were treated.
The UAE and other Gulf Arab countries waste SO much money. Wealth which Allah has bestowed upon them but they waste and squander it. There is nothing a person spends money on that Allah hates more than money spent on building tall towers and sky scrapers and there is nothing that a person spends money on that Allah loves more than to spend in the path of Allah.
Also another thing i hated there is how much they honour the non believers from the west. They treat them with utmost respect but treat others like second class citizens.
I actually feel sorry for the state of such people on the day of judgement. May Allah guide them.

Do you think that the wealth Allah swt bestowed upon these regions belongs to a ruling class? to a select few or to Muslims far and wide? The wealth of the regions belongs to 'Byet el'mal' and all excess money should go there where a treasurer oversees the conditions of Muslims and spends it accordingly. That is per law of Islam..
Yes the money belongs to the righteous servants of Allah swt.. It is indeed ironic that they treat hard working people of whom the majority are Muslim as second class while giving the wealth of Muslims to those who despise them, despise their religion and openly mock them. You should read the comments about the U.A.E and those Kardashians or that other Scientologist turd Tom Cruise.. 7asbona Allah wa'ni3ma alwakeel.. not to mention the billions the U.S hits the gulf regions for so they can fund their wars against Muslims..
Does this make sense ya naas? Neither the heart nor the mind accepts this. I hope the youth of these countries revolt as their neighbors .. but it is very difficult for some people to feel as others feel when they've lived in decadence and frivolity for so long..

What gives me solace and what should give all of us solace is to know and realise the fact that NO ONE will get away with an atom of injustice in this world for they shall pay severely either in this world, the next or both.
So justice will be done and those who have experienced an atom of injustice will get what was meant for them one way or another.
For Allah is most just and even animals that wronged each other will be able to get justice on that day. What a terrible day that will be for so many of us. Let us hope Allah makes that day easier for us.
