[Revert]

Ok so in Jinnzamans blog he posted the question:

What do you think the problems of the Ummah, at the macroscopic and microscopic level, are?

I'm no intellectual so my write up (upcoming in ym blog) is not going to be very wordy.

So i'll summarize Problems of the Ummah:

1. Lack of Religious education and Education structures
2. Inneffective Da'wah to Non Muslims and Guidance to our Brethren
3. Time wisted disscussing deep isses such as Aqeedah, Fiqh and Kalam

So What do you think the problems of the ummah are and how can we go about helping?

People refuse to acknowledge ignorance on their own part. Lack of humility in knowledge seeking.

Thats a good point, i too have been guilty of this, it ties into somehting I read on Imam Webbs blog about how we assume everyone else know less than us and it makes us arrogant.

How do you suggest we fix that though?

The online refers to us being online and disscussing it, however the Ummah part refers to the Ummah in the real world.

We have an amazing tool (the internet) yet its not being used effectively.

HAve you tried contacting the Islamic Unis? Many have programs for less forunate students, like finacial aid or scholarships. Seeking knowledge isn't limited to those who can afford it.

I agree.

Rasulullah (saw) said: “Every nation has its fitnah (trial or temptation), and the fitnah of my Ummah is wealth.”
