The Malaise of Muslims

Since the collapse of Ottoman empire in 1924, Muslims in this world are facing the most challenging trial yet by Allah s.w.t. Muslims in any part of the world are facing problems after problems on the day by day basis.

Just watch the news. If it's not the Middle East, for sure it will be the Africans. On the same time those Muslims in other part of the world (Europe, America, Asia) also love to make the headlines too (the rights to wear Burka?). It seems like there will never be shortage of news regarding the Muslim world. Right now we can see other civilizations are thriving with their modern and discovery of new technology almost like everyday. I don't know how long will it takes the Muslims to be on par with the "infidels" in term of Allah's ways knowledge (science), economy, etc or in other word civilization.

It's Allah's knowledge they are researching with but yet they are yet to be Muslims. We are the ones who should be in that field of life but we are still here quarreling about nothing. But we have the same creed to Allah S.W.T. In fact in Quran Allah S.W.T has warn us not to be like the earlier communities who had been given the divine writs but yet they still quarrel among each other even after the evidence of truth already in front of their eyes.

I don't know when will our Ummah realizes that the biggest mistakes they are doing now is abandoning the Quran. The Quran is Allah's words and He can't be wrong on what He wants us to do and not to do. And He already warns in the Quran against adding or deducing further unnecessary laws that will make their life difficult. But this is exactly what the Muslims are doing. They are restricting their life with unnecessary laws, rituals, and deemphasizes on thinking. Allah tells us to think but some "religious bigots" tells us not to think and just to follow whatever they tell us to do. And to make thing worst, they are non-reading Muslims who blindly follow these religious bigots thinking that they will go to heaven. And this seems goodly to them even though it will only just make them further away from the right way of Allah's.

And writing this I make no claim that I am a good Muslims. Far from it I am still searching a right way to Allah. But doesn't stop me from observing and stating what is wrong so that it will be a reminder to me and those who want to be reminded.

I rest my case.

Would like to write more but being lazy which is the main problem with me, I will just stop here and left it open to the readers for their discussions or else imaginations.
