Perspective Redefined!

Whenever some unfortunate event happens around the world to the Ummah of Muhammed SW, we all cry we all pray we collect donations and forward messages to Boycott Israel’s products, try to help the victims, our oppressed brethren and innocent kids in Palestine, Syria, Yemen and the list goes on.

After a while the dust settles and we move on with our lives. FOR HOW LONG!!!!!

When will we start thinking and stop reacting only?

Today when Palestine is burning and our hearts are crying. While browsing through social media I saw post that a Muslim sister standing with a small table and selling cupcakes to generate donations (May Allah swt accept from her and reward her). On the other hand I saw a post, Mc Donald’s is giving free meals to the enemy soldiers. Scroll down I saw a message with the appeal of pray and a message to boycott Israel’s products with a long list of franchise and businesses.

A looong list…… and the reason why the Governments are supporting Israel is its strong economy, and impact on the world’s economy. Where do we stand?

Take measures to fight the enemy in the same battle ground otherwise you cannot win, we cannot just rely on the promises of the victory from Allah swt and His messengers. We need to take some action.

Being a woman, a daughter of this Nation, and a mother I pledge to all my sisters in Islam. Your duty is to raise children in a way that they become beneficial for this Ummah. Please do not raise your children with the mere intention of your support in your old age, do not raise your children to be just doctors, engineers, lawyers or accountants generating good income, that too working for others. We have to build a Nation! Yes we do want doctors we do want engineers and other professionals but we want to build businesses more. We need to be economically and financially strong especially here in the west. Why are we raising a generation with a list of professions keeping only dollars in mind?

“Tijarah” is the Sunnah of our Prophet SW. Raise your kid to establish business empires so instead of collecting donations we have big entities to support Ummah.

Think in a bigger picture! Let your goals high! We are living in the end of times do your part not just by boycotting enemy businesses but to launch the competitors of those businesses.

Stop Crying! Take the first step NOW! Change your mindset…

Tie your Camel and then rely on Allah swt.
