Disturbing facts.

Assalaamun Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, brothers and sisters.

This article is about the disturbing things that I've come to notice from the people and from myself. So there are very disturbing things, ways of communicating and thinking, among every people without a doubt.
One of these things is that some Muslims, who have born into Islam regard themselves as somehow better Muslims than those who have converted to Islam. This fact could be branded as one of the brands of pride, or arrogance. As people claim something that really has no foothold in the religion of Islam. People who have educated themselves and have studied about Islam can know that the Muslims in the times of the prophet, salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, were mostly what we call converts. Because in those days before Islam, it was normal thing for most of the Arabs to worship idols and when prophet started to receive the message from Allah, people started to convert or revert back to Islam. Again uneducated and unknowing persons who have born into Islam make things from somewhere which really don't belong to Islam. It's very dire and not good for such words to go around as they are not from Islam, from where they are? I don't know completely but one of the reasons, may be that these kinds of things go around because of the ignorance about Islamic knowledge.

Then there's a thing that can be called "Islamophobia", which is mainly and mostly for people who don't know a thing about Islam. Yet the come to believe that this what is told to them, by media is fully true. It's easy to mislead people who don't know a thing about the subject that you're talking about. Mostly these people who spread Islamophobia don't themselves know anything about Islam, they have just heard from somewhere that "Islam is this and Islam is that" and they come to believe that it's the truth. But in the end these people shouldn't be taken as bad people, it's the same as children. When they don't know anything about a subject they come to assume things, but when they get the knowledge about the fact they either accept it and find it as truth or find it as truth yet deny it. Either way we're not the ones losing, we should try to inform them about the facts but if they come to deny them who're we to blame ourselves? People who are arrogant and uneducated can easily be mislead, but if we have done our part then there's their part and only if Allah wills it to be so, they will find the truth.
So the most disturbing fact (among us as Muslims) could be the ignorance of our own religion, or ignorance (for Muslims and for those who aren't Muslims) about the things that there are. As ignorance in any form is quite bad thing, it leads to many things and none of them are good. Except if we start to inform ourselves when we find ourselves to be ignorant about something. Education is needed in everywhere, not only the education that is available at schools but education that can be acquired on our own private time.
We as humans should notice one great fact and that is, that nothing has ever been accomplished if people are but ignorant. It's like a circle where people accuse each others about things that they really don't know, the ones who know, may stay quiet as they know that words without meaning are of nothing. As it's told to us we should remain quiet if we don't have anything worthy or truthful to say, it's better to stay quiet than to speak words of falsehood or just to blabber.

When I write this, I inform and remind myself and at the same time I try to remind and inform you.

JazakAllah Khair.
Thank you for reading this.

Everything that was in error, came completely from me. And everything that came as truth, is completely from Allah. InshAllah we would live this life as it's meant to be lived, so that we could achieve the best of hereafter.
