najma82 Posted May 9, 2005 The Condition of the Muslim Ummah The condition of the muslim ummah Is a reality that I cannot bear It’s the reality of wars It’s the reality of oppression It’s the reality of Injustice But Why O my Muslim Ummah Why are we in this condition? Even though I, as well as you Would want to blame on the enemy But the truth reality is that Its us who’s to be blamed It all Started when we stopped working for the Akhirah And Started preffereing this Dunya When we stopped struggling for Allah’s cause But started struggling for power and fame When we stopped feeding the poor But Started eating into our content When we stopped enjoining good But Started enjoining evil When we stopped considering other races As our brethren in Islam But started being the worst racist you can ever imagine I see no brotherhood of faith In the hearts of my Muslim Ummah But all I see Is the brotherhood of nationalism The brotherhood of racism The brotherhood of tribilism O my Muslim Ummah the reality of our condition Started when we crossed the limits set by Allah The Most High When we abandoned the deen When we abandoned the sunnah of our prophet We see much talk but no action And I ask why As allah has already asked us In his glorious quran “O ye who believe! Why say ye that which ye do not? Grievously odious is it in the sight of Allah Is that ye say that which ye do not.†Don’t you know that O my muslim brothers and Sisters That action speaks louder than words? O My Muslim Brothers and Sisters This Ummah of ours needs your help It needs you to put your trust in Allah The most High It needs you to practice Islam as a way of Life Instead of being part time muslims. Bcause this Ummah has a promise from allah That which He has promised in his Holy Book “Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion – the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: 'They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. 'If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.†Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
