Some thoughts: Extracts of speech by Hafez Adv. AB Mohamed: Director

Every fifth human being is a Muslim.

For every single Hindu there are two Muslims

Yet the 14 million Jews are more powerful than the entire 1.5 billion Muslims



Why?


Here are some of the reasons.

o Boris Becker




Why are they powerful?



So why are Muslims powerless? Here's another reason. We have lost the
capacity to produce knowledge.




o In the entire Muslim World (57 Muslim Countries) there are only 500
universities.


o In USA alone, 5,758 universities


o In India alone, 8,407 universities


o Not one university in the entire Islamic World features in the Top
500 Ranking Universities of the World


o Literacy in the Christian World 90%


o Literacy in the Muslim World 40%


o 15 Christian majority-countries, literacy rate 100%


o Muslim majority - countries , None


o 98% in Christian countries completed primary


o Only 50% in Muslim countries completed primary.


o 40% in Christian countries attended university


o In Muslim countries a dismal 2% attended.


o Muslim majority countries have 230 scientists per one million Muslims


o The USA has 5000 per million


o The Christian world 1000 technicians per million.


o Entire Arab World only 50 technicians per million.


o Muslim World spends on research/development 0.2% of GDP


o Christian World spends 5 % of GDP





Conclusion.




o The Muslim World lacks the capacity to produce knowledge.





Another way of testing the degree of knowledge is the
degree of diffusing knowledge.




o Pakistan 23 daily newspapers per 1000 citizens
o Singapore 360 per 1000 citizens.
o In UK book titles per million is 2000
o In Egypt book titles per million is only 20

Conclusion.
o Muslim World is failing to diffuse knowledge


Applying Knowledge is another such test.


o Exports of high tech products from Pakistan is 1% of its exports.


o In Saudi Arabia is 0.3%


o Kuwait, Morocco and Algeria 0.3%


o Singapore alone is 58%





Conclusion.


o Muslim World is failing to apply knowledge.








So why are the Muslims so powerless!!!

Joy and despair as Israel and Hezbollah exchange prisoners

A Virus?









Sister Maryam
CANADA

Inspired by a friend's post.



Shaitan held a meeting one day,
Furious as he watched the muslims in Ramadan pray,
And he spoke at length of his ancient plans and dreams,
And shouted long and hard emitting screams.

If they go on at this rate,
They’ll all enter Paradise through Rayyan’s gate,
But I promised to lead the children of Adam astray,
This Ramadan thing’s clearly not going my way

If So one of his chained jinns looked up from the devilish herds,
And said if you bid me sir to say some words,
I have just the plan to fool the muslim ummah,
And seduce them away from that place called Jannah

Pray tell, my devilish companion…..Please
We must lower those muslims by degrees,
For their good deeds have become vast like the seas,
I’m going to lose my reputation as Iblis!

Microchips –Its called the internet
Its an idea you gotta hear-you won’t regret,
I’ve thought long and hard about this one,
And boy,Oh boy…is this some fun.

At the touch of a keyboard they have an Islamic forum,
Where they think they’re increasing their iman with much decorum,
And they log on and click with their mouse,
Not realising they’ve entered a room from Shaitan’s house.

We’ll teach them to backbite, argue and fight,
They’ll leave reciting the Quran and lose their heavenly light,
Brother versus Brother, Sister versus Sister and vice versa,
All at the click of a mouse and cursor.

At the touch of a button they can curse the scholars,
Nowadays a laptop costs just a few hundred dollars,
Non-Mahrems can interact on chatrooms from Pakistan to France,
What began as da’wah often ends up in Romance,
Tahajjud prayers go out of the window,
The troops of hell will just grow and grow

We’ll drown them in information overload,
Hell will be waiting; their final abode,
Lost in useless bits, bytes and endless sights

They’ll waste their nights
Instead of using tasbeehs for performing dhikr
We’ll create nonsensical arguments and make them bicker,
And brother against brother shall live in divide,
Through endless debates we’ll inject poison inside

As for the very sinful, there’ll be pornography
And music dancing and much debauchery,
Who can resist those pop-up windows?
Can you see ,master, muslims entering hell in their throes?

The ultimate computer virus is called Shaitan,
That Trojan horse will snatch away your precious iman,
He’s an evil whizz who has lots of experience
His aim in life is to take your soul to decadence

Oh Slave of Allah be not so sordid,
Your internet access is being tapped and recorded
By the noble angels on your shoulders that accompany you,
You might escape human cameras but you can’t escape Allah’s view

Say alhamdulillah, and don’t waste your time
Spend each moment in dhikr of the divine,
Use technology to please the Lord of Creation
Avoid trivial pursuits and satanic temptation

I've Found You




Sister Maryam
CANADA





All has its end
As my search is now over
Since I ve realized how incomplete I am
To find that something is missing
To discover a lack
And took the road of missing links
Just when beautiful flowers greeted me
And the stones made me stumble
In the path that leads to nowhere
With reasons I do not know yet
When I followed my feet
After millions of footprints

Just when I reached halfway of my journey
And I've met you on your simplest beauty
To complete the loss in me
To fill in the missing piece
In my heart and so is my life
And now I could define colors
Which before hid behind the dreary gray wall
To paint my all-blue horizon
As you opened all doors
Just in time to save my soul
