Assalamu Alaikom, Sad to say, this happens a lot in the Muslim ummah. We are quick to criticize and label what others are doing as haram without looking at our own actions and trying to fix ourselves as well. This is a sign of arrogance, something that is very despised in Islam.
"O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them....and do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames." (Qur'an 49:11)
Abu Bakr as-Siddiq [ra] said: "I heard Allah's Apostle [saws] saying: "When people see an oppressor but do not prevent him from (doing evil), it is likely that Allah will punish them all.' " [Abu Dawud & At-Tirmidhi]
and He, (saw) continued and said:
"Nay, by Allah, you either enjoin good and forbid evil and catch hold of the hand of the oppressor and persuade him to act justly and stick to the truth, or Allah will involve the hearts of some of you with the hearts of others and will curse you as He had cursed them." [Abu Dawud & At-Tirmidhi]
Abdullah bin Mas..ud [ra] reported: Allah's Messenger [saws] said, "The first defect (in religion) which affected the Children of Israel in the way that man would meet another and say to him: ..Fear Allah and abstain from what you are doing, for this is not lawful for you.'
WHO ARE WE
We are Muslims trying to educate and clarify our beautiful religion. We are Non-Muslims connecting out hand in hand in pursuit for knowledge. We are in search of peace. We are in search of a bridge that unites both sides to clarify misconceptions and breaking down the barriers.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to network and connect with other Muslims and Islamic organizations worldwide in order to promote da'wah and motivate Muslims to increase personal activism for the cause of Islam. Our mission is also to unite Muslims and Non-Muslims so that both sides can break through prejudices. Our key goal is to break down the barriers and spread our knowledge to others about Islam.
