dagang

Sabda Rasulullah sallallahu'alaihiwasallam:
بداء الإسلام غريبا فسيعود غريبا كما بداء فطوبى للغرباء
yang bermaksud:
Islam mula tersebar dalam keadaan dagang, dan ia akan kembali dagang pula. Maka beruntunglah orang-orang yang dagang. H.R. Muslim

so what is our take on this?
are we going to fulfill this prophecy? are we going to be the ones who are, with our very own hands, make Islam alien, just as how it used to be upon its revelation?
pray that we will not be the ones.
but before praying, look at the damage and isolation Islam is facing today.
how Islam is treated in Europe, let alone the rest of the world.
at this rate, we know what is going to happen.

and I stand grounded on my view that it is us Muslims who are letting this degradation and alienation of Islam happen on an uncontrolled rate.
Children of Islam,
....gigitlah sunah-sunah itu dengan gigi geraham dan jauhilah perkara-perkara yang baru (bid'ah) yang diada-adakan, kerana sesungguhnya tiap-tiap bid'ah itu adalah sesat....
[H.R. Abu Daud dan Tirmizi]
