Believe in Allah

I wish the Muslims wouldn't get up in arms. I want them to spend the time thinking what is it that WE are doing wrong for whch all this flak is coming our way. Are we praying 5 times daily for which we are promised success? Are we bettering our characters so that we are helping others in their time of need, speaking well of others instead of backbiting?

We must remember our duty to Allah. Why would someone who is ignored help us?? Do we think WE can do anything? Just pray and ask Him for help. Look around you - natural disasters, at least not yet, cannot be pinned on the Muslims. They are His warnings to His creation to desist and refrain from inviting His full wrath.

Lets leave retribution for insults to the one person who can mete it out as is deserved. Remember if we punish more than the crime we will have to give account for hurting His creation. Let's pray for Hidaayat.
