Nationalism is the key point to how we muslims were divided?

Question

This is really starting to get annoying. Im not an arab and im against racism but everyone should stop putting the blame on the arabs they are not the only racist muslims. When i was in the US i saw how racist p**i and indians can be towards non subcontinental muslims or how the turks can be racist towards the arabs etc.....

This is why we as muslims are very weak because we are sick from the inside and the name of this sickness is called NATIONALISIM

Answer 1

Exactly..lest we forget Sallahuddin..he was not Arab but in fact a Kurd. He wasn't Indian nor Pakistani but he was a great warrior and brought for a time the Ummah together with peace. Who here can say bad of him when he fought so hard to keep the Ummah as one? He fought and followed the examples set before him by Muhammad PBUH so lets just say with this mentality we could have a strong Ummah today. It is in the best interest of our enemies to divide us but we blindly are walking right in their trap. Sad.

Answer 2

just say we are muslims!!

i got headache after answering dumb questions!!

Answer 3

Mushriks are uniting with Muslims to attack Muslims. They are laughing along with the polytheist as they attack their brothers and sisters. Astaghfirullah.

It's pathetic. I'm not arab and I do not take pride in my heratige, it was Allah's decision who I was born as I it's not something that was under my control. Why should I be proud of anything in this Dunya. Pride is sickness of the heart that is rejected from Jannah.

Fight for Nationalism and you are not part of the Ummah.

Answer 4

Interesting! Yet Nationalism is something which many identify with and wont do without. One can not even see all "Arabs" as one nation. There are many different Arab countries in the Middle East which want to be differentiated from each other.

But I understand where your going with this and I get the point;-)

Answer 5

Indeed it it is apparent but ranting on the net will not help get out there and do something! Make people realize Allah does not look at where we come from!

Answer 6

Hey im also a Muslim my name is Abdul. In some way Nationalism did divide the Muslims, we are sometimes too overconfident and arrogrant about how superior Islam is. Although I am a very religious Muslim, Pakis and other Muslims should not be racist towards anyone else is mean (thats kind of goes against the principles of kindness in Islam). So I'm with you brother!

Answer 7

this is why being a virtuous person is important. when we have virtue in our hearts, it is very easy to be well mannered and have a clear conscience. it makes us good people effortlessly.

Answer 8

The reason for the division is because of Al Keffer and Al Muafiq along side the shytan worshipper that is why there is division.

We got too comfortable and didn't put up the guard that was asked long ago.

Islam is not divided.. only humans are..and humans are not Islam. Thank God!

Answer 9

I think its time for us to realize the bad effect of Nationalism.

Edit

It makes me so sad that, most of the Muslims will still believe in Nationalism, every time we try to explain them how bad it is, they refrain from answering that question. it makes me so sad.The prophet clearly warned us in MANY hadiths to stay away from Asbiyah(racism/natinalism).

But who cares!Funny that we still claim we r Muslims.

Answer 10

It is true

Answer 11

Right on!!!

Nationalism is a dark core that divides us, Muslims.

It's sad, but true.

I've realized something.That is.: when people from the same race decides to get together, they tend to make fun of others. They feel superior, even though, to us, they're  actually being ridiculous.

Muslims are in time of adversity, and nationalism makes things worse.  How can Muslims gain strength when they can't even get along with each other???
