And then they say that #Islam is the cause of violence and terrorism in the world and want us to believe that.

Who started World War I?
Not Muslims.

Who started World War II?
Not Muslims.

Who killed about 20 million of Australia’s indigenous people?
Not Muslims.

Who dropped the nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan?
Not Muslims.

Who killed more than 100 million Native Americans in South America?
Not Muslims.

Who killed about 50 million Native Americans in North America?
Not Muslims.

Who kidnapped more than 180 million Africans as slaves from Africa, of whom about 88% died and were thrown into the oceans?
Not Muslims.

First, we must define terrorism or understand how terrorism is viewed by non-Muslims.
If a non-Muslim commits a terrorist act, it is called a crime; but if a Muslim commits it, it is called terrorism.

We must stop dealing with double standards.
Only then will you understand the purpose of my words.

I am proud of my Islam.
I am proud to be Muslim.

Do not let it stop with you—
inform others about the distortion of reality and truth.

Praise be to Allah for the blessing of Islam and all its blessings.

Acts to Please Allah Alone

Acts for pleasing Allah (riḍwān)
We must look at each action that we do, or are about to do, and make sure that it will be pleasing to Allah.

Otherwise we will see that great actions are being made small because of one's [low or non-existing] intention. This can best be shown by the hadith related by Abu Umama, when a man once came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "What of a man who joined us in fighting, his intention being for fame and booty?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "He receives nothing." The man repeated the question three times, and each time the Prophet ﷺ said, "He receives nothing." Then he said,
"Allah only accepts actions that are intended purely for His good pleasure." An-Nisa'i

The Samson Option: How Israel Has Held America Hostage Since 1973

I’m about to tell you some things you likely didn’t know. Almost nobody does, because it’s been classified intel for 50 years. If U.S. support for Israel seems odd, or lack explanation, this well help it make sense to you. And when you understand it, the definition of evil will hit different. Why? Because we’ve had Jericho Missiles to our heads for half a century, and there’s nothing we can do about it.

Restoring Balance In An Individualized Society: The Islamic Perspective on Parent-Child Relationships - MuslimMatters.org

We’ve raised children who know how to take, but have we taught them how to give? This article dives into the Islamic response to a culture of entitlement.

In today’s increasingly individualized society and entitlement-driven culture -shaped heavily by Western ideals of autonomy and self-fulfillment- a worrying trend has emerged: many young people have come to see their parents not as figures of reverence, guidance, and gratitude, but as service providers; even well into adulthood.

This shift is particularly visible in children who, while benefitting from years of care and sacrifice, respond with entitlement or neglect. Some even say, “We didn’t ask to be born, it was your choice!” This perspective, although widely normalized in modern Western discourse, is deeply misaligned with the values and principles of Islam.…
