Muslims Are Weak and Called Terrorists

Question

Why are Muslim people weak today? Why are Kuffar people saying Muslims are terrorists?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

What Muslims experience of weakness, separation and subordination to non-Muslims is a natural result to neglecting factors that could lead them to victory and to occupy and get hold of the land. Allah has promised Muslims to grant them victory and authority on earth if they hold fast to the sound creed, establish the regular prayers, give Zakat, enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, as well as hold fast to the word of Allah, and become an Ummah and so on. When Muslims recognize that they will not gain their honor and rank again except if they become good Muslims, become united and free from all forms of subordination, only then can they regain their honor and high rank among nations.

What a great man ‘Umar  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him was as he said: “We were the weakest people and Allah gave us honor by Islam. So, if we seek honor and dignity through any other means than Islam, Allah will humiliate us.”

Here, we state that as long as Muslims stick to their present base situation; i.e., without true and faithful return to Islam, it will not be strange to hear what non-Muslims say about them or do to them.

Allah knows best.
