WA alayykum Salam,
InshaAllah the future will be Good. As long as Muslims act according to Islam. Implementing the Quran and the Sunnah into their lives. Islam is not new to Europe, we have significantly influenced Europe. It was Islam which bought Europe out of the dark ages and into a time period called "the renaissance". This is meant to be the period where they started recognising science in their lives (before, the church was reluctant to encourage scientific study, and many scientists were killed). The Christians in Europe
were killing witches well into the 17th Centure. So it kinda shows how advanced they tell us they are.
Anyway Allah will help the muslims. It is important we keep faith and hope in Allah(subhana wa ta'ala). Once we have a good basis in our faith, sharing accurate knowledge and belief in Tawheed. We can have good unity. And the Ummah can get stronger.
Even though, we as a community face challenges all over the world, I believe that Islam has regained a lot of ground into the lives of people. Around 40-50 years ago not that many people were actually practising Muslims. Just Muslims by name, and there were all sorts of supersticions etc. The True Islam had been lost in many areas. We do have problems now, but alhamdulilah things inshaAllah will get better.
The amount of new Muslims, new Mosques, books, people interested in Islam is testimony to that.
" Verily, Allaah will Most certainly support him who supports His cause; verily, Allaah is Most Powerful and Almighty." (surah al-Hajj 22:40).
" Verily, Allaah does not change : people's condition unless they change what is in themselves." (Soorah ar-Ra'd 13:11)
So once we establish the deen of Islam into our lives, and the lives of our children. and actively show people Islam this Ummah will become strong once more. Our weakness today, in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Kashmir, Chechnya, China, Indonesia etc... is a reflection of the weakness in the Ummah due to ignorance.
Allah has promised us victory, as long as we stick to this. It is something we must keep our faith in 100%.
"The promise of Allaah is true. And who is more truthful in speech than Allaah" (Soorah an-Nisaa 4:122).
The Arabs, who came from the desert with nothing were given the messagae of Islam by Allah (swt)........ and it gave them strength unity and made them progressive.. it led them to make the most amazing discoveries. It advanced not only them, but the entire world.
As Muslims, we can be good neighbours to people of other faiths. Show them kindness and this will have a good effect on non-Muslims.
Allah Says in the Quran:
As for such of the unbelievers as do not fight against you on account of your faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, Allah does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave toward them with full equity. Indeed, Allah loves those who act equitably. (Surah Al-Mumtahinah 60:8)
And Also:
O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allâh and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Well*Acquainted with what you do. (Surah Al-Mâ'idah 5:8)
Our example is Muhammad
the kindest and most humble and wise man to be on this earth:
Abu Hurairah mentions that people said to the Prophet (Pbuh): “Messenger of Allah, a certain woman stands up for prayer at night and fasts during the day, and does many a good thing and gives money for charity but she offends her neighbours with what she says.” He said: “She is not a good person. She is one of the people of the fire.” They said: “A certain woman prays only obligatory prayers and gives little for charity but she does not offend anyone. The Prophet said: “she is one of the people of heaven.”
