re Islam vs. Muslims

Submitted by Arslan (United Kingdom), Sep 13, 2007 at 00:33

Thanks for writing...

Muslims have lacked behind now days because they have lost the grip of the religion...They dont follow it properly..if you look back at history, muslims have been pioneer of science (worth mentioning alkhwarzimi and ibn ul haitham)...they have been fathers of physics, chemistry, maths, trigonometry, astronomy etc....they were at their glory when they were following islam properly....now because they have left their roots, they are suffering.....

Allah does justice and He has told a way to follow...if you follow that way, you will succeed....A muslim is asked to trade honestly and do business with hardwork and honesty rather using shortcuts and frauds...If some non-muslim adopts that way and a muslim doesnt, ofcourse a non-muslim is going to the right path and a muslim is not....Allah wont bless His blessing to those who dont follow the right path defined by Him and claim themselves muslims as they were born in a muslim home....

I would recommend everyone to study "islam" instead of "muslims".....If i keep a chrisitian name and go out kill people, would you blame christianity for that?

Muslims are lacking behind but not that much....this is just a part of propoganda created by media...look at Pakistan and Iran...they are developing themselves...Malaysia and Indonesia are quite good....I dont find them poor or suffering.....

Regards
