Brother, I have a question regarding a comment you wrote on sidi Salman’s blog. Please contact me, as I don’t think it is a question to be read by everybody.

what you mean by accidentally ? 11 year old girl not a child she know’s every thing…

On the topic, you are right of course. Islam is a religion that provides answers and not questions and in this situation if we Muslims look into our amazing deen the answer is there. So, a good Muslim will always be a co-operative Muslim, an asset to his society.

‘The Muslim world on the other had can’t come to terms with the fact they suck at almost everything. Plus, they’re in such a terrible state of identity crisis that they act irrationally(that is, un-islamically) when they are confronted by problems. Hence, we see that the common mode of discourse in the Muslim world is that of an evil western empire that is out to get them and we can only be worth anything if we act like westerners and respond in the same profane framework of thought.’

You are right about the identity crisis and we must understand that all things West are not evil. The good infrastructure, welfare, education, technological advances should all be emulated, Islam seeks advancement for its followers. We simply draw the line at the un-Islamic practices which, I always find, are never helpful towards intellectual and cultural progress anyway.

Instead the Muslims are doing the opposite, taking up the obscene fashions, junk food addictions, superficiality and useless past-times espoused by these societies whilst completely ignoring their fastidiousness, organisation, integrity in dealings. It is exasperating.

An example of Muslims working how they should be is the booming market in Islamic Finance and riba-free banking. People like Mufti Taqi Usmani were proactive, not compromising their deen and inviting others to mould their way around it, resulting in great success.
