Muslims past & now

As we all know, Islam never spread from sword but because Sahaba (R.A.) acted as role models and excellent human beings as guided by our Holy Prophet(sallal lahu alyhi wasallam). People were astounded how can someone be so modest, good, helpful and pure. They were surprised why Sahabas abstained from evil and always strived to do good. Thus, they were impressed by Islam because they saw the true Islam in our Holy Prophet(Sallal lahu alaihi wasallam) and his followers.

 

Today, Muslims all over the world are cursed, demeaned and looked down upon because most of us are not up to the standards of our deen. Most of us do not try to know Allah, His powers and His mercy and anger. Most of us do not pray. Most of us do not abstain from backbiting, slandering and obscenity. Most of us do not try to study hard and reach good positions where they can implement Islam and help the needy. And those who pray mostly do out of ritual or habit and still think that they done enough.

 

Friends, Let us all unite together in goodness and create a world where people look at Muslims and are impressed. Let us promise ourselves that we will pray our namaz, work hard to earn a halal livelihood, refrain from backbiting, obscenity and indecency, help each other and exert to be good in character, manner, intentions and actions.

Let us all show the world, what really Islam is.

Not just a religion but a way of life and a way to be good and an way to be succesful, here and hereafter.
