Re: Same day in 1974
Some might agree with the decision, others might not agree, some might criticize, others might make fun of them, some might try to prove others wrong, other might try to say all are good.......
BUT very few would sincerely try to spark the light from within by starting from common grounds and showing a practical example of a true muslim through love, sacrifice and sincerity.
As I said before, it is easy to degrade people whom you don't agree to,(and think that you are doing a great service to Islam by hurting their feelings through criticism, but it is very difficult to discuss logic with them through polite and effective ways, to cry for them at night and sincerely pray to Allah to guide them towards the right path.
Islam has never spread through criticism but through good manners and practical examples. You can't convince a person by telling him that YOU ARE WRONG, but you can do it by following the manners of the Prophet (saw) and leave the judgement to the person to himself decide.
p.s. Having said the above, I confess that sometimes I myself make the above mistakes and am struggling to develop those qualities in me and have yet to go a long way to even become an ordinary practicing muslim.
