Islam had ever been greater?
Islam has never been "greater" then it is in present days!
How come this conclusion? Just compare how it was lets say when there was no religious freedom in the world and now, when Islam according to you was greater then it is now it was in a time when muslims ruled vast parts of the world, from East Asia to Morocco. But in Europe and other parts of the world you could not invite to the faith or practise it, you would get killed if you did!!! Now you can practice your faith and invite to it in practicly anywhere in the world, so in "real" reality islam has never been greater then now, the only problem is people's materialism and their association of their faith with material ground and wealth and power instead of calling people to The Merciful and the worship of Him. They are distracted from the real important issue(the worship of One god) and calling to Him and are deceived by the games of conquering ground and influence...politics if you will.
The solutions?
1. say there is nothing worshipped except Allah, there is no god except Allah. realize a god means someone with powers. Say all power belongs to Allah. There is no power or situation except by Allah.
2. Turn off that TV news.
2. break off all links to the hypnosis of news papers and TV. First and formost by realizing that the whole affair is to Allah, that the good comes from Allah, and the bad is because of ones own actions
3. Say Allah is greater...and turn to Him for the real news.
After you did this you will be able to go to someone and tell him about the faith without involving politics or frustrations into it because of what you saw or read in the news papers or TV.
You would not understand their looks at you anymore based on what they saw on the news (about you lol), and this makes it easier for you to smile instead return it with an equal angry look. See this is the way, you not reacting to them but let them react to your good instead so be good. (oei, looks at his own sins).
Anyway this is my advice and truth. And what you choose to do, know the whole affair is to Allah. Just do not get angry, remember that after all our own sins, Allah still shows us mercy and forgiveness and has patience with us instead of showing us His anger. No one has more right to be angry then Allah. So leave that anger, may He leave His anger also ameen.
I think alot of muslims need some time on their own, away from the influence of others who's influence is through the media and news papers also and have only the koran with them for guidance. It nearly would sound like i am suggesting Guantanamo bay for them. But this is not the case(although i personally would not mind being there, the mosquitos and the weather are all under the full control of Allah, as for the lights on at night, i have that already, no problem for me, i love the light) i would suggest to mind the signs of Allah in the koran and nature more, instead minding the words of men so much instead.
