No matter how much it is criticized by the west, they cannot change the facts. And that is so because of two irrefutable facts; the people who criticize Islam are either non-Muslims or Muslim by name only and second; every other religion has been altered and manipulated by people so much that the real form of those religions has ceased to exist. Furthermore, it carries no value as to what a certain minute group of people has to say about a faith if the group in question is biased about everything other than themselves. Such is the case with most of the critics of Islam; they believe that what they follow is correct, and what they do not follow cannot be correct.
In a situation like this, the responsibility lays on the shoulders of believers that they refute their arguments with their actions so much that the truth prevails. Islam as clearly stated in the Quran, and Ahadith in numerous occasions, is a blessing not just for a sect but all of humanity. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) was sent down as a blessing for all the universes and not just Muslims. Now, if that is so; can’t we, the Muslims see how blessed we are for being among those who are called the followers of Muhammad (S.A.W.W)? Yes, we are blessed not only by that fact but because we are the people our Prophet (S.A.W.W) would pray for all night long; we are the people who carry forward what the Prophet (S.A.W.W) gave to this world –we are the flag bearers!
But there lays another question; do we fulfill our responsibilities? Do we actually follow the path of our Prophet (S.A.W.W), and are really turning out to be what he used to call his ummah? The answer comes; if we actually were all that, the world would have seen it, and the image of Islam would not have been what some people think it is. If the Muslim side of ours was prevailing over our evil sides, people would not have termed us as extremists and intolerant fundamentalists.
Lastly, if we had been all what the Prophet (S.A.W.W) wanted us to be, we ourselves would have felt the blessings, the peace and joy at heart that Allah SWT bestows upon his loved ones. When a time comes that we no longer feel guilty of sins or the inclination to repent diminishes, we are at a constant risk of being replaced by some other deserving being in the eyes of God –but if all that continues, and if we keep our priorities aligned, the blessings of Almighty are boundless.
