Religous character and results on society

[sidqi]

We believe that our biggest problem is either West, or Kashmir, or Palestine, or any miserably occupied Muslim nation like Iraq and Afghan, or girls education or tv society. Every cleric in every sermon will declare that all our problems are from Yahood, Hanood, and Nisara as a memorized tape. Then he will get busy with his routine.


I strongly believe that our biggest problem is our morally bankrupt religiosity which is all the time eager to wage a jihad on others to implement Islam but it is never able to see the worst kind of moral evils in their own ranks. It is able to see the conspiracies hatched against Islam by the Jews and Christians, but it is never able to see the deceptions of Satan playing havoc with their own souls even in the light of the Qur’an and the model of the prophet. It has guns in its hands, religious slogans on tongues, hate in eyes, hearts are devoid of God’s fear and characters are uninfluenced by the grace of the prophet’s personality.


Quite often I think that if Muslims are facing God’s wrath and punishments, there was nothing else causing it to happen save the manifestation of the Almighty’s justice. If people of such character are representing the leadership of Islam and the common man is happy with following them in large hoards, the Almighty, it seems, is content with the destruction of Muslims. God has no blood relations with any nation. He deals with all peoples on merit. If the torch-bearers of Islam and the representatives of the prophet(pbuh), are people of such low character, then be sure that the decline of Muslims is not coming to an end as yet. As long as the character of Muslims in general and their leadership in particular would not change, neither their present nor their future would ever change.
