Dear Queen, in my posts I usually talk in general terms assuming people are aware of what is going on in ummah and pakistan. If you watch news there are killings going on everyday. Muslims are killing other muslims and of course nonmuslims too are at our throats.
Coming to this forum, we are having discussions and peaceful as well but are they really helpful or are we simply passing time? The situation on the ground demands that we put some effort into explaining things to each other so that we may learn something new from each whereby we may be able to benefit. As we are all trapped from all sides perhaps some of us can figure out how to get out of this situation and help others understand. Unless we do something of this nature things are likely to remain as they are or get worse day by day.
I see in most of the posts people discuss things that seem to matter to them most but should they be seen as pressing necessity when our real problems as a people are of very different nature that we are ignoring.
We are not realising that islam is a deen and if it is a deen then there are implications for us who claim to be muslims. The question is, what are we doing to deal with islam as a deen.
It seems we are not much concerned if many of our own people are suffering and are being destroyed systematically throughout the world and not only that but even rest of humanity is in terrible state of existence.
Our concerns are namaaz roza and the related private masaail and we think so long as we are doing all that we are ok. That is the main problem that we have become ritualistic muslims paying only lip service to islam and humanity at large.
So you can see how I look at things but I do not mean any disrespect to any brother or sister here. What I am looking at is our mindsets and attitudes or practices.
For me the question is, if I was one of those unfortunate people suffering in pain, would anyone come to my aid out of sense of responsibility? If you were of those unfortunate people, would you be happy if no one was bothered with your plight?
Since I do not want to live in the world without sharing my concerns for others, hence it is possible that people who have not reached my level of realising of things may not have thought about serious issues that they should be thinking about. It is for me to bring to peoples’ attention things that they must come to know because without their help and participation things are not going to go in the direction that they should.
Today I have some leverage so I am helping others to realise what I have realised so that together we could bring about more people. No one wants to think about things that upset us but if that is how it is going to be, what will be the society like if no one cared for anyone else?
This is why islam must be understood as a deen and those who understand it must help others do the same otherwise islam will be useless and irrelevant for mankind as it has been for centuries. After all what is the point of having a medicine but never taking it to get well?
regards and all the best.
