Assalamu alaikum brother and sister. I just wanted to say that we who live in the west need to be more educated and know how to defend our religion now more than before. Islamophobia has been a thing for centuries, but It looks like it’s at its peak now, if not just at the start of a getting bigger.
People who are against Islam will just listen to other haters and see some wording and then start to attack us Muslims. Many of these are from the verses of the Quran which were meant for the prophet and the people at that time. They use these verses and attack us, unfortunately most can’t defend this. This grows in the heart of the believers and some even start to think bad and get whispers from shaytaan telling them to rethink their own belief. I recommend reading the Quran and understanding why and how a verse came when you “doubt” it or if it looks like a verse a kuffar or a hater can use against us. We need to realise that they are wrong, but use some small info and make it their whole point. We should learn how to answer them and silence them. Some are respectful while others are full of hate towards us.
We should start to tell our kids the basic facts at young age, Islamophobia is going to spread to the youth too, when it comes and we don’t teach our children it will be harder for them to know what’s true or false, they will easier listen to the kuffar and believe them. So how can we prevent this? Simple, Islam has always been attacked. Before the people used to debate people of knowledge, but now they don’t have that haya and openly hate on even people who might not know much. Learning and knowing why and how things happened will help us to defeat them in debates and will even strengthen our faith. Some of them are even sincere so this can even help them to become Muslim. Knowledge is import for us to know. Unfortunately Muslims even in Muslim countries have stopped getting knowledge, some of them don’t know much and some don’t know anything. Those of us who life in the west and where Islam is hard to hold to. As the prophet said in a Hadith:
Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: "There shall come upon the people a time in which the one who is patient upon his religion will be like the one holding onto a burning ember." - Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2260. Grade Hasan.
This time has started, we can see how some of our Muslim brothers and sister are having hard time holding on to their deen. Why is this? This is because of lack of knowledge. If they knew more about how Allah swt loves us, what we have to do as our duty, what’s waiting for us in the after life. We would be much closer to our deen and face problems with a smile. Things wouldn’t be hard for us. Unfortunately the western mindset and “freedom” as they call it has taken over many of us and our brothers and sisters in Islam.
This life is short, most if not every one of us feel how time is flying by, this is a sign for the day of judgement getting closer. I hope we all get closer to our deen and Allah swt. This world is just a test, may Allah swt make this test easy for us and grant us Jannat al firdus. Knowledge is the key for faith. Many and most of us can easily hold to our faith by just have trust, but in this age of social media and kuffar hating on us as they never have before, we need to know more about our religion. I hope this post can help us. May Allah swt bless us all with knowledge and good health. Assalamu alaikum
