As I walk through the streets of Kuwait....Tears of Blood

By Shariffa Carlo Al Andalusia

As I walk through the streets of Kuwait (and this could be almost any Muslim nation), my heart is filled with tears. Tears of blood. It is filled with the blood of all the martyrs who gave it freely and gratefully so that Kuwait and all of the Khaleej would be Muslim.

Generation after generation of warriors, honored men and women have battled with the sword, the tongue and the pen to ensure that this great deen of Islam would reign supreme in this blessed land. Allah gave us this great favor, this great gift and how do we behave? We act like spoiled children, taking this gift, chewing it up and spitting it out. Worse yet, we behave with a level of disrespect and insolence that even the most spoiled of children would balk at. We reach levels of disobedience that would tear a mothers heart, without even blinking an eye. We simply cannot be bothered with obedience to Allah. Allah guide us!

We have the nerve to forge lies against Allah, belying our lack of fear of Him. As I walk through Kuwait University, I see the painted faces of women whose naffs overshadows their taqwa as thickly as their eye powder and kohl overshadows their eyes. I see the beardless faces of jean-clad youth whose love for all things American and Western smothers their love for Allah. I see clothing so tight on both sexes that it constricts their hearts as well as their bodies.

As I write this, sitting in a computer lab at Kuwait University I am dismayed by the display of a group of giggling young men chatting on the internet showing obvious enjoyment of the conversation in play.

Do we not reflect upon the warnings of Allah? Are we so blinded by the satellite images of a false Jannah that we forget that a real one exists? Are we so enamored of a present where America and the West rule over the world by subjugating it into complacency that we forget the past wherein Muslims our grandparents, our cousins or ancestors - brought light and knowledge to their dark continent - where Muslim scholars brought knowledge and enlightenment to a people who forbid their own subjects to read their own holy text, the bible, because it might harm their faith???

Are we so brainwashed by the glitter and gold that we have forgotten Allah and the beautiful gift He has bestowed upon us in His Mercy and Beneficence?

As I walk around Kuwait I cry out. I cry out to Allah.

Ya Allah! Guide us! Allah! Open the eyes of our youth. Let them smell the fires that burn beneath the desires. Let them know that it is the fires of Hell. Let them know, so they will wake up!

Ya Allah! Let them turn off the plug-in drugs, these narcotic fantasies transmitted by the Romans of today who would gladly see our blood flowing through the street as it flowed from their swords over the streets of Al Andalus!

Ya Allah! Let our youths eyes be opened to the true images of their brothers whose heads are separated from their believing hearts, of their sisters who are raped and murdered. Let them see how their beloved West turns a blind eye to the massacre of their brothers and sisters all over the world as they allow others to do their dirty work.

Ya Allah, let us not turn a blind heart, falling asleep as we watch the flickering images of their sedative transmissions! Let us look to the faces of the Muhammad Durras of the world. Let us see the pain and the misery of our Muslim family not just see it but feel it, as we feel the pain in our own idle hands.

Ya Allah! Open the hearts of the Muslim men - men who have been fooled into acting like children. Let them turn their eyes and hearts away from the artificial battles of computer generated massacres, so that they may see the real-life massacres of their sisters and brothers in Chechnya, Kosovar, Kashmir, Palestine, Indonesia, Sudan, Algeria, Bosnia, India, Tamil, and so many other nations.

Ya Allah! Make our young men our shabab love the shahadah more than they love their computers!

Ya Allah! Look upon Kuwait and the Khaleej, these nations blessed with black gold, these nations of riches and prosperity. For our beloved Prophet did not fear for us for anything as much as he feared for us prosperity. Ya Allah! Look upon us and help us to make this prosperity work for us not against us. Ya Allah! Give these nations another chance. Protect them once again from the Roman legions, the descendants of the original Romans, whose ultimate goal has not changed to make the Muslims submit.

Ya Allah! Let us submit to none but You!

Ya Allah! Cover our sisters with a veil of purity as you uncover their hearts from the false gods of vanity and glamour.

Ya Allah! Strengthen our Brothers with honor and courage and love for you, as you clean their hearts from the stench of the dunya.

Ya Allah! Save us from ourselves!

Shariffa Carlo ( revertion)


The story of how I reverted to al Islam is a story of plans. I made plans, the group I was with made plans, and Allah made plans. And Allah is the Best of Planners. When I was a teenager, I came to the attention of a group of people with a very sinister agenda. They were and probably still are a loose association of individuals who work in government positions but have a special agenda - to destroy Islam. It is not a governmental group that I am aware of, they simply use their positions in the US government to advance their cause.

One member of this group approached me because he saw that I was articulate, motivated and very much the women's rights advocate. He told me that if I studied International Relations with an emphasis in the Middle East, he would guarantee me a job at the American Embassy in Egypt. He wanted me to eventually go there to use my position in the country to talk to Muslim women and encourage the fledgling women's rights movement. I thought this was a great idea. I had seen the Muslim women on TV; I knew they were a poor oppressed group, and I wanted to lead them to the light of 20th century freedom.

With this intention, I went to college and began my education. I studied Quraan, hadith and Islamic history. I also studied the ways I could use this information. I learned how to twist the words to say what I wanted them to say. It was a valuable tool. Once I started learning, however, I began to be intrigued by this message. It made sense. That was very scary. Therefore, in order to counteract this effect, I began to take classes in Christianity. I chose to take classes with this one professor on campus because he had a good reputation and he had a Ph.D. in Theology from Harvard University. I felt I was in good hands. I was, but not for the reasons I thought. It turns out that this professor was a Unitarian Christian. He did not believe in the trinity or the divinity of Jesus. In actuality, he believed that Jesus was a prophet.

He proceeded to prove this by taking the Bible from its sources in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic and show where they were changed. As he did this, he showed the historical events which shaped and followed these changes. By the time I finished this class, my deen had been destroyed, but I was still not ready to accept Islam. As time went on, I continued to study, for myself and for my future career. This took about three years. In this time, I would question Muslims about their beliefs. One of the individuals I questioned was a Muslim brother with the MSA. Alhamdulillah, he saw my interest in the deen, and made it a personal effort to educate me about Islam. May Allah increase his reward. He would give me dawaa at every opportunity which presented itself.

One day, this man contacts me, and he tells me about a group of Muslims who were visiting in town. He wanted me to meet them. I agreed. I went to meet with them after ishaa prayer. I was led to a room with at least 20 men in it. They all made space for me to sit, and I was placed face to face with an elderly Pakistani gentleman. Mashallah, this brother was a very knowledgeable man in matters of Christianity. He and I discussed and argued the varying parts of the bible and the Quraan until the fajr. At this point, after having listened to this wise man tell me what I already knew, based on the class I had taken in Christianity, he did what no other individual had ever done. He invited me to become a Muslim. In the three years I had been searching and researching, no one had ever invited me. I had been taught, argued with and even insulted, but never invited. May Allah guide us all. So when he invited me, it clicked. I realized this was the time. I knew it was the truth, and I had to make a decision. Alhamdulillah, Allah opened my heart, and I said, "Yes. I want to be a Muslim." With that, the man led me in the shahadah - in English and in Arabic. I swear by Allah that when I took the shahadah, I felt the strangest sensation. I felt as if a huge, physical weight had just been lifted off my chest; I gasped for breath as if I were breathing for the first time in my life. Alhamdulillah, Allah had given me a new life - a clean slate - a chance for Jennah, and I pray that I live the rest of my days and die as a Muslim. Ameen.

Salam Aliekum

I live in Kuwait, and as a revert, I am frequently confused as to how Kuwaitis can claim to be 100% Muslim (Kuwait's claim as a country is that all Kuwaitis are Muslim).

Before I even became Muslim, I dressed more modestly than many of the Kuwaiti women (well, the older ladies dress quite modestly in abayas) but my age and younger, are extremely NOT-modest. Sure, the majority wear head scarves (I purposely did not say hijab), but they will wear a headscarf with skin-tight jeans, skin-tight long-sleeved shirt, and more make-up, jewelry, and perfume than you see on most Hollywood movie prosititutes!

My school here in Kuwait had their 8th grade graduation ceremony last week, and one of the 8th grade girls (it is an all-Kuwaiti school) showed up wearing a skin-tight, no-sleeved, mini-skirt/dress, with fishnet stockings! And she was walking on the stage in front of all the boys and family members of all the students! The school I taught at back in the US would NEVER allow a student to dress like that at school (I am from the conservative Midwest) - seriously, the non-Muslim students in my home state are MUCH MORE conservative than the majority of the students here in Kuwait.

And the boys aren't much better. I have to constantly tell boys to pull their pants up because I should not have to see their underwear or boxers! And these are not so much boys, but young men, aged 14-16 years old! And they just think it is a joke (although they pull them up when I tell them to, they are usually back down below their buttocks by the end of the class period). It is obscene and I have mentioned it to the parents of some of the worst offenders, and they generally say/do one of two things - either laugh and say something along the lines of "boys will be boys" or they sigh and say the boys don't listen to them so what can they do?

Ok, I am done sounding off now!

As-Salam Brothers and sisters. First of all thank you very much for bringing such a nice topic. Is this problem only in Kuwait? I do not think so. I am from Bangladesh and now going to university at U.S.A. before I left Bangladesh I saw the same thing happening over there.

Since I came to U.S.A I mate with a lot of brothers and sisters from different countries. I see that some of the brothers and sisters are doing all kinds of unislamic things alcohol, night club, drug, sex (without marriage). Some time I think that they are in a competition with non muslims that who can do more and worst unislamic things.

It's just from my personal exprience.

bro, GP isn't from the West (in terms of ethnicity, from what I know).... He is a westie to me though - West Pakistani. lol.

And I agree with his Kuwait statement - honestly, I really thought Kuwaitis were really all whackos. My brother once met this arab guy who was acting VERY arrogant at some group meeting where non-muslims where present. Saying that all non-arab (east-asian) muslims are second-class and only good for washing the floor, etc. Whole bunch of crap from what turned out to be a racist Kuwaiti guy with his broken english. Then Mishary Alafasy came along - and he changed my mind :)

My America? (Great Punchline!)

Are you always this funny?

You gotta admit, the camel analogy was pretty funny. It made me laugh!! :D Salam alaikum.

:angryblue:

Now wait a minute whats that for :angryblue:
I am not racist , am i??

No you aren't. The guys (and girls) who hold on to their faith are not. You're a super nice guy! :p Salam alaikum.

Sorry!

Asslamo Allaikum,

Ouch!

My head hurts; I havn't slept properly in about 5 nights....Sun is too bright and lights are too shiny...I am getting dehydrated & its hard to concentrate!

I havn't this bad in so many years & there is no amber nectar involved (I promise!)

I apologise to the brother for being agressive...

Glad to know that you are in-form AAZ & still going around thinking of slapping people :SMILY139:

Sorry

I shouldn't have turned it into a funny post; I should have apologised earlier.

Nevertheless the Muslims who are not fully practising in Kuwait & Saudia are very very racist.

Even though i enjoyed reading the article for its strong language and direct message...i believe it was unnecessary to name a specific country like that
in fact..if it's gonna be done like that...

then we can very easily take out *kuwait* and insert numerous muslim nations..if it's supposed to be done this way!

i do not want to list any because i believe that you can send a message about *any* issue without making it exclusive to only one society..

and also because i am already offended by some of the comments made about Arab-Muslims..

even though some of the comments *may* be based on facts or personal experiences (unfortunate ones at that)..I feel deeply offended that "fellow muslims" are naming countries..and making generalizations upon Gulf Arabs and kuwaiti arabs...and i-don't-know-who-else-arabs

I know someone will try to quote me and say...no no no they meant this and that in specific...

I'll just say...

don't even bother...

you're all here talking about what is islamic and un-islamic..and if all those who participated in this thread are looking at it...then here's what i believe..

i believe that...allowing one's self to make such comments *is* un-islamic..and that certain *wordings* only raise questions and attach assumptions in the minds of the brothers and sisters who have not had interactions with people from these societies...


if i sound like i'm trying to start something...i want all of you to trust me when i simply say *i am not*..

We are all here as *muslims*...we don't need that whole nationality or ethnicity thing brought up..i absolutely despise it...and it's the one thing that keeps muslims so distant from each other..

if we have problems in our muslim societies (something i do not deny witnessing myself..for it would be ridiculous of me to so)..

we need to work on them as *muslims looking out after muslims*...not *---- (insert nationality) muslims criticizing or even insulting ----- (insert nationality again) muslims*...

you want to fix problems that you see???..you want to bring back the glory of true and pure Islamic culture and practices to troubled societies???...

go ahead..go riiiiight ahead...nobody will have the right to stop you or even *question* you..but do it kindly...with respect..and by focusing on the problem and setting aside "labels"

when i see anybody with a muslim name or a muslimah with a hijab..or any muslim in general...i feel my heart fluttering inside..i feel like i'm seeing someone from my own family..i can't help but smile at them..and if i got the chance to talk to them..i do it
because i don't see the person i'm looking at as a pakistani..or an afghani..or a sudani..or a saudi..or an indian..or an iraqi

i just see a MUSLIM..

and alhamduliallah that i see them this way and feel towards them *all* the same way...and have not gotten carried away with muslim ethnic and/or national divisions...that is a great blessing from Allah (swt)..i can't say *alhamduliallah* enough for that blessing

finally.....i'm sorry if i made this too long and possibly took the topic just a little off track...but i am being truthful when i say that it literally *hurts me* when i witness muslims critcizing each other harshly like that based on things (i.e. nationalities & ethnicities) that are not supposed to exist amongst us MUSLIMS
