WHO ARE WE ? ARABS ? OR MUSLIMS ? BOTH ? OR NEITHER ?
CAN WE CALL OURSELVES HONESTLY ARABS ? OR MUSLIMS LIKE THE ARABS WHO BUILT THE ARAB CIVILIZATION WITH MORALS AND VIRTUES ? AND IF THAT IS THE CASE AND SO WE CAN BE SURE THAT WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACT IN FULLFILING OUR OBLIGATIONS AND PAY OUR DUES IN THIS LIFE . OR ARE WE THE KIND OF ARABS MUSLIMS TO CALL OURSELVES THE FOLLOWERS OF THE ONLY TRUE RELIGION ON THE PLANET EARTH ! EVENTHOUGH WE ARE NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING AND FOLLOWING THE RIGHT PATH ? AND AT THE SAME TIME WE WANT TO BE CALLED SAINTS ? !!
YES THE BIAS IS CLEAR BECAUSE EVERYBODY BELIEVES HE / SHE IS DOING OK AND DOING THE RIGHT THING AND HE / SHE DESERVES TO GO TO JANNAT .. IT IS DIFFICULT TO ADMIT THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM... BECAUSE IF WE DO WE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT.. AND THATS BY ITSELF A PROOF THAT WE DECEIVE OURSELVES IN SO MANY WAYS.AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT WE ACCEPT WHAT WE DO AND WHAT IS DONE TO US IN THE PROCESS .
WE DECEIVE OURSELVES IN A WAY THAT WE CAN NOT ADMIT THAT WE ARE NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING AND WE ARE GOING NOWHERE.
THERE IS THE BIAS AND THE PROBLEM RUNS DEEP IN THE SOCIETY AT EVERY INDIVIDUAL LEVEL , IN HIS /HER THOUGHTS , ACTIONS AND WHAT HE BELIEVES ... AND ITS THE CONTENT OF HIS OR HER REACTION AND ACTION TO MOST IF NOT ALL AND EVERYTHING IN THE DAILY LIFE OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF US ... AND THATS WHAT THE CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS ALL OF (THE ARAB GOVERNMENTS) INCLUDING THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY WANTS FROM ITS SUBJECTS.
ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR THAT IS THE TOTAL NEGLECT OF THE ARAB INDIVIDUAL SADLY SPEAKING , ITS THE MISERY (THE LES MISERABLES OF ARABS),IT IS THE MAKING OF IGNORANCE THAT IS GOING ON IN THE ARAB WORLD AND THE MUSLIM WORLD , IT IS THE BAD QUALITY EDUCATION , SERVICES , AND CARE FOR THE HUMAN INDIVIDUAL AND THE TOTAL NEGLECT OF THE HUMAN.IT IS THE DEMOLITION OF ENLIGHTENMENT AND REVIVING THE DARK AGES IN THE 21ST CENTURY AMONG THE ARAB YOUTH (THE BOYS AND THE GIRLS ) THE HOLDERS OF THE FLAGS IN THE FUTURE ( THE NEAR FUTURE ).
IT IS THE TOTAL PROCESS OF UPBRINGING OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND DIRECTING HIM OR HER TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION IN A RIGHT ( RIGHTOUS ) WAY , AND BUILDING UP INDIVIDUALS WITH STRONG PERSONALITIES THAT SHOULD BE INTEGRATED IN AND ENLIGHTENED OF OUR FAITH AND TEACHINGS OF BEING MODERN MUSLIMS AND GOOD CITIZENS , THAT IS WHY CARELESSNESS OF GOVERNMENTS AND IGNORING THE WELL BEING OF CITIZENS IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY .
AND THATS WHY MATERIAL LIFE HAS RULED THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MOST PEOPLE , BECAUSE THE UPBRINGING DOES NOT STEM FROM VALUES AND VIRTUES AND FAITH AND ISLAMIC TEACHINGS . AND THATS WHY MOST PEOPLE ARE OCCUPIED IN THEIR MINDS BY FEAR , DOUBT , ENVY , WASTA , AND ANGER.THIS IS THE RESULT WHEN SELFISHNESS SETS IN AND MATERIAL LIFE RULES THE HUMAN DISTINY.
THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON FOR THAT IS THAT OUR CULTURE STRUGGLES WITH HONESTY , THATS A HUGE PROBLEM BECAUSE WE KNOW THE WORD BUT IT SEAMS THAT WE DONT KNOW THE MEANING OF IT , AND IT SEAMS WE REALLY NEED RE-EDUCATION OF THE REAL MEANINGS OF THE WORDS IN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE .AND ADD TO THAT , THAT THE SOCIETY EVEN HARDLY ADMITS THAT PROBLEM ( O BOY !), BECAUSE SO MUCH AND MUCH OF THINGS AROUND US THAT INVITES US TO RATIONALIZE AND TO MAKE US DECEIVE OURSELVES , AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR OUR ACTIONS AND REACTIONS , AND TO SOME EXTEND IN SOME ARAB AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES DEMAND THAT STANDARDS TO BE CHANGED OR EVEN SOME PEOPLE EVEN ATTACK THE RELIGION BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT LIVE UP TO ITS STANDARDS AND OBLIGATIONS ! , AND EVEN WE CAN SEE THIS AND FEEL IT AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL THAT SOME NOT ALL IN THE PRAYER WE SELDOM FIND THE REAL HONESTY AND SINCERITY FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WORSHIPER... EVETHOUGH WE ARE PRETTY SURE THAT OUR FAITH AND RELIGION IS A REAL GOLD MINE IF AND ONLY IF WE BELIEVED IN IT.
THIS VISCIOUS CIRCLE OF ONGOING DECEIVE TO ONE'S SELF AND RATIONALIZATION AND NOT ADMITTING OUR WEAKNESSES AND SINS THAT WE DO ALL THE TIME IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND DEADLY THING THAT FACES EACH AND EVERYONE OF US . AND THIS FAILURE AND WEAKNESS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADMIT IT IS FATAL AND THE WRONG DOINGS DEFINITLY MORE AND MORE DAMAGING THAN WEAKNESS AND SIN ITSELF. THAT IS HOW THE ONE LIES TO HIMSELF UNTIL SUCH A TIME HE OR SHE WILL BE ENGULFED AND WRAPED WITH LIES AND UNTIL A TIME THAT HE WILL BELIEVE HIS OWN LIES TO BECOME HIS WAY OF LIFE AND INFECT HIS CHILDREN AND OTHERS AROUND HIM OR HER TO CREAT A BIG PILE OF DIRT IN ORDER FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL IN THE SOCIETY STRUGGLES WITHIN IT !!! , AND THATS WHAT WE SEE NOWADAYS AND THATS WHAT PROPHIT MOHAMMAD TALKED ABOUT THESE TIMES NOWADAYS WHEN AND HOW THE FALSEHOOD BECOMES TRUTH , AND THATS HOW THE DISHONEST BECOMES TO BE KNOWN AS THE HONEST! AND SO ON AND SO FORTH . IT IS THE SOCIETY THAT LIVES IN TOTAL DARKNESS AND BELIEVES THAT IT LIVES IN THE LIGHT . IN THAT SOCIETY THE SIN IS CONSIDERED GRACE AND VIRTUE ! AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT ... THE WORLD IS FULL OF THINGS , IDEAS , TECHNOLOGY AND BELIEFS THAT ENCOURAGES THIS WAY OF LIFE AND KIND OF THINKING ... WHY NOT AS LONG AS THAT INDIVIDUAL LIVES AND OTHERS DIE OF HUNGER FOR EXAMPLE !!!! WHY NOT WHEN THERE IS MA7SOBEYYEH AND WASTA .
THE PERSON WHO LIVES THIS WAY , FOR SURE DOES NOT LIVE AT EASE WITH WHAT IS GENUINLY VIRTOUS , INNOCENT ,RIGHT , NATIONALISTIC , OR EVEN HAPPY... I BELIEVE THAT THAT PERSON CAN NOT LIVE AT EASE AND PEACE EVEN WITH HIMSELF ... SO HE OR SHE WILL ALWAYS RUN AND RUN IN THIS VISCIOUS CIRCLE ... AND WILL NEVER ACCEPT RIGHTOUSNESS AS WAY OF LIFE.
WE CAN SEE THIS AT THE POLITICAL LEVEL ... WHICH I CALL THEM THE PARASITES AND ALSO AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL.
BUT THE END I SAY THANKS BE TO ALLAH THE MOST GRACIOUS AND BENIFECIENT FOR THIS GREAT RELIGION OF ISLAM AND PEACE BE UPON OUR BELOVED PROPHIT MOHAMMAD (PBUH).
