Salam sister Laila,

The american statitics are telling that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Mainly in the west in America and England but NOT the fastest growing religion in the east. There are some kufars in the east that have become mulims.

But the question is what are the muslims in the west doing to help the muslims in the East. Thousands of people, muslims and non-muslims are all running to the western world. Why are muslims lacking help in helping the muslims of the east. Sister look carefully at the east and it's suffering that a muslim families goes through.

there are milliions and millions of muslim in the West which is excellent news. but why are we ignoring those who are killed, opressed, lifes with are destroyed. which we muslims should be helping. the people in the east are fighting while the people of the west live in luxerie.
There are verese in the Qur'an and Sunnah about the right way of doing Jihad but those people don't want to it and they sit home and eat. So the brothers family is killed in front of him in the eastern world and he is wating for the muslims to help, he is praying to Allah and the muslims is the west are looking at girls what chose does he have if the muslims of the west aren't doing nothing. The only thing he can do is blow him-self up.

As salaamu Alaikoum,

First of all, this is NOT a political forum. This is a Question Board for the asking of questions pertaining to Islam not politics or opinions.

Secondly how do you know the good deeds that anyone does? How can you sit and make a judgement saying that Muslims in the West are not doing anything for others???

The Prophet(saw) said good deeds are to be done for the approval and acceptance of Allah... not for anyone else [Bukhari]

We need to spend less time as Muslims worrying about what some one else is doing and instead worry about what we ourselfs are doing.

We also need to spend more time learning the basics of our religion instead of debating and arguing East verses West and politics...All the earth belongs to Allah.. no matter what direction you turn... and all Muslims are supposed to be ONE UMMAH..not divided East verses West.

Whatever happens in this life has already been decreed by Allah to be and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to change it... Worry about your own soul.

Please do not waste our time with anymore questions of politics...

Laila Nasheeba
