Brother Serhan,

Your concern is understandable.

Pray - you say, - in this way, we have to be praying all the time for all the countries in this world where there is calamity, but they are NOT praying for themselves.!

SEE:-

6:164 - Say: "Shall I seek for (my) Cherisher other than Allah when He is the Cherisher of all things (that exist)?" Every soul draws the meed of its acts on none but itself: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is toward Allah: He will tell you the truth of the things wherein ye disputed. 987

987 The doctrine of personal responsiblility again. We are fully responsible for our acts ourselves: we cannot transfer the consequences to someone else. Nor can anyone vicariously atone for our sins. If people have honest doubts or differences about important questions of religion, they should not start futile disputes. All will be clear in the end. Our duty here is to maintain unity and discipline, and do the duty that comes to us. (6.164)

There is no other remedy for these ailments, what is required is to follow the Quran and the Sunnah to one's best of ability and seek Allah's help.

29:6 - And if any strive (with might and main) they do so for their own souls:

Adhere strictly to the Sunnah and follow not vainglorious boasters.

Even in the matter of Greetings - try to do this in the correct way, otherwise it becomes useless.

Assalamualaikum - and not salamun Alaykum

May Allah lead us on the straightpath.

abdeen

Salamun Alayqum!

These days the only thing we as muslims are doing is to

watch what is going on in Gazze with enormous bombs

and armies on one side and the weak resistance on the

other side. We surely knew that the Ýsrail did not step

back from Gazze for peacefull purposes and now it is

quite clear what they are trying to do. It is almost

Ramadan, the holiest month, but things do not seem

to get better in Filistin.

At least we must pray for our brothers and sisters there.

Salamun aleyqum

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
