For almost the past century, Muslims around the world have experienced a dramatic fall in all aspects of their society, they were militarily attacked as an initial phase, having their resources and wealth pillaged then came the fierce ideological attack which has completely shattered what was once the most powerful empire on the face of the earth.
Theses different and successive attacks on the Muslims have left severe damages that are much worse than the millions who have been killed, driven into poverty, chaos and social injustice.
The most severe damage that has been done to the Muslims was the birth of a new mentality of loss, weakness and humiliation. Muslims went from leaders to followers, from being proud of their identity to being ashamed of who they are, from being sure of their faith to being apologetic about its tenets, from the ruling class to the pitfalls of blind following.
Wherever you go now and talk to Muslims about projects and initiatives, you would find that they have little confidence in themselves and in their people in terms of achieving. The effect of media outlets pounding the so called superior civilizations and their unmatched accomplishments have created almost a cult like following and admiration for these systems, forgetting that the foundation of their key sciences and areas of expertise was taken from early Muslim scholars.
What is needed is a new awakening, and a new mindset, everyone knows the humiliating state the Muslims are living in economically and socially, only a handful are trying to create change.
The rest are going about their lives like it doesn't concern them and yet they are the biggest victims of their non-involvement.
Each one of us has to ask himself "how can i contribute today to the improvement of the Muslim umma", the playing field has changed: the means to communicate, the tools put in place by technology, and the infrastructures provide us with an unprecedented edge over any other time in history, if all of us follow a worldwide collaboration model in bringing change, we can rewrite history, let's pull together all resources and expertise in an open and collaborative manner for the benefit of each and every individual in our nation.
It's Going To Take An Awakening And A New Mindset.
