Alhamdulilah for your posting – I too feel/felt this way for many years – even now as I type, I’m getting teary-eyed – it is so frustrating sometimes knowing that we Muslims could/can be so much more!!! Can you/others please provide more sources for reading/support for why it is so hard to work with Muslims on a daily basis? I love being Muslim, but some days all I see are the problems and fitnah and not the blessings – too many times I have been turned off by the actions of the members of my community, but I still keep coming back because of the few brothers and sisters who really are genuine. Shuk’ron and please make dua’ for me and our communities, we need to be more united not divided by culture or race or income.

Masha’Allah this was a great read. I completely related to this post and am now rethinking the way I’ve approached community, the status of Muslims today, and my role in the ummah these past few months. Insha’Allah I hope to change for the better asap. Jazakallah khair for this article!

SubhanAllah, you summed up my past life nicely which InshaAllah won’t repeat itself.
Allah Almighty made me learn that there is no use in lamenting your fate, instead, one should strive to better self first than to bother about other’s mistakes and shortcomings.
JazakAllah for the nice and touching post:)

MashAllah this is a really enlightening article! Sub7anAllah, the last part gave me a real sense of comfort: “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.”

This makes me reflect on the atrocities that are occurring in the Muslim world today and think they must be a wake up call to the Muslimeen living in those lands (wAllahu a3lam). If this is indeed the case, it is a blessing in disguise. May God guide us all to the right path so that we may strengthen our ummah, and so that we may find peace & happiness in this world and in the hereafter. Ameen.

Jazaka Allahu Khairun for sharing!
