Enslavement of the West vs The Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
In essence, the matter is that the thought has settled in our hearts and minds that whatever the western nations do, that is worthy of following and imitating, and the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam is something minute, insignificant, and not worthy of following. In fact, we feel that it is a barrier in the path of progress.
However, what is cause for concern is that if you eat with the right hand, then how does that impede progress, or, how is that a barrier in the path of progress?
The issue is that slavery has been set upon our minds. We have abandoned bondage to Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and have adopted enslavement of the western nations. The result of this is that we are living in enslavement and dying in enslavement. Now, we want to come out of this enslavement and we cannot. We see no path or way of coming out of it.
The truth is that we will not be able to come out of this slavery and we will not be able to gain honour and respect in this world until we do not fully and truly accept to be the slaves of Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and until we do not walk in the footsteps of the best of creation.
