The direction in which the conditions of the beloved homeland are heading at this time; rather, they have already gone, and seeing what is happening here daily causes great mental confusion, and every person with a compassionate heart feels this confusion.
The demolition of mosques on a daily basis, the locking up of madrasas, the lynching of Muslims on the basis of suspicion, hatred, and prejudice, bulldozer actions on houses under various pretexts, and discrimination in education and other walks of life. Added to this is the organized conspiracy to turn people away from the religion of Islam; especially to lead young girls toward apostasy, as a result of which news of apostasy constantly reaches the ears and passes before the eyes.
Despite such harsh and difficult conditions, the matter of common Muslims is on another side; they either do not realize the gravity of the situation, or they do realize it but do not pay sufficient attention to it.
Those who analyze the conditions of common Muslims here, especially the new generation, know that we do not have real and fundamental priorities. The Muslim community and a large section of the new generation are occupied with things that are unimportant and should be ignored. For the new generation, sports are no longer just sports; rather, they are a means of passing time and obtaining material profits. Roadside eateries and restaurants are not just temporary centers for eating and drinking; rather, they have become places of extravagance, waste of time, and amusement. Mobile phones and the internet are not for important needs; rather, they have become an inseparable part of life, the result of which is that being excessively occupied with them has become a favorite hobby.
Human morals and high values have fallen to such a level that for the new generation, staring at others' sisters and daughters and looking at them with wrong intentions is no longer a fault, but has now become an art. Similarly, the conditions of many women and girls living at home are no different; along with their domestic chores, they have their favorite hobbies, which include staying busy with mobile phones, wasting time just like that, and chatting and making friends with strangers. Today, the situation has reached the point where many naive girls, unaware of the consequences, are handing over their own people to strangers for the sake of material gain or pleasures, resulting in the ruin of both this world and the hereafter.
Today, in a large section of the new generation, there is no account or estimation of spending money; it seems that the fulfillment of every desire has become the purpose of life. Participating in wrong deeds and immoral activities in the name of friendship and misrepresenting facts to parents and family members has become a common thing. Addiction to alcohol and drugs is prevalent among many youths. The elders know nothing except passing time and talking about irrelevant matters in hotels. Overall, the positive concern that everyone should have for religion and the world is either non-existent or rare.
Whereas in these harsh and disappointing conditions, there is a need to return to God and the Messenger in a planned manner with determination and perseverance and to live life according to their commands. Along with this, focusing on education through planning, strengthening economics for useful matters, involving oneself in the system, and molding the Muslim society according to the circumstances and leading them is the need of the hour. This will start with every concerned person, regardless of their field. It is impossible to achieve the desired results by merely crying, wailing, and mourning on social media here. Therefore, it is necessary for every individual to engage in those tasks within their limited self that they find better and useful, and after experience, describe them to others so that it becomes easy for them to act and lead those around them accordingly.
