Have we returned to the days of Jahiliyyah??




Allah Subhanu Wa Tala says in the Quran,

“O ye who believe! Fear God as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam. And hold fast, all together, by the rope which God (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude God’s favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth God make His Signs clear to you: That ye may be guided. Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong: They are the ones to attain felicity. Be not like those who are divided amongst themselves and fall into disputations after receiving Clear Signs: For them is a dreadful penalty,- On the Day when some faces will be (lit up with) white, and some faces will be (in the gloom of) black: To those whose faces will be black, (will be said): “Did ye reject Faith after accepting it? Taste then the penalty for rejecting Faith.”" [Surah Ali 'Imran 3:102-106]

Allah Subhanu Wa Tala says in the Quran,

“Have We not made for him a pair of eyes?- And a tongue, and a pair of lips?- And shown him the two highways?” [Surah Al Balad 90:8-10]

Our second Caliph, -Umar ibn Al-Khattab said:

“We were the lowliest of people but Allah gave us might and glory through Islam. If we seek glory through other than what Allah gave us glory through, He will abase us (again).
