[IslamCity] Muslims - the current scenario

[Abdeen]

THE CURRENT SCENARIO 1)           "     THE PLIGHT OF MUSLIMS: Muslims throughout the world are suffering in various forms and degrees of oppression and hardship. Many hundreds of thousands of Muslims have died as a result of being innocent bystanders in military conflict. Furthermore, many millions of Muslims throughout the world are suffering from sanctions, boycotts, starvation & a slow death." You said this very rightly.But this is going on from ancient times todate. See below what transpired even after Prophet Noah's preaching for his people for almost a 1000 years.!   [Yusufali 71:1] We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty."  71:2 He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open:  71:3] "That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me: 71:5] He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day: 71:6] "But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).  71:7] "And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.  71:8] "So I have called to them aloud;  71:9] "Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,  71:10] "Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving;  71:11] "'He will send rain to you in abundance;  71:12] "'Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water). 71:21] Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss.  71:22 "And they have devised a tremendous Plot.  71:24] "They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong-doers but in straying (from their mark)."  71:25 Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found- in lieu of Allah- none to help them.  71:26] And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!  71:27] "For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.   abdeen __._,_.___ *************************************************************************** {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."
