Shalom,

I do not compare these arab nations with the great souls and angels in the Battle of Bad'r. The soldiers in Bad'r faught for Al-Haq, and Al-Haq is the last thing that today's politicians and leaders have in their minds. I like learning from Jews/non-believers, I like to learn the good and avoid their bad. I learn from everywhere. I utilize every halal resource. Because all knowledge is revealed to man by the permission of God, not by man himself all alone. The technology we are using right now to communicate in this forum was most definitly not invented/developed/made popular by the muslims.

there is nothing wrong with utilising the technology of the non muslims for the benefit of islam bro, keep doing your thing inshallah. We dont need cleaned shaven doctors and engineers though. We dont need engineers who are muslim, we need muslims who are engineers, so keep firm in your faith while learning and utilising the dunya inshAllah. what are you hoping to study? Im doing electircal and electronic engineering at university and there is so much use for the ummah in what ime learning. inshAllah I hope the muslims move forward. I plan to help the gulf countries to develop their technology and i urge all of you to aid muslim lands in building technology inshallah. We need the muslim countries to form alliances and blocs inshAllah and work together such as turkey, GCC, indonesia, malaysia etc. Saudi and turkey are gettiong vewry friendly withe ach other now alhamdulillah and alsojordan norocco and egypt may join the GCC so inshAllah I predict this will be the bloc to watch. its far form perfect but it is what the people make it. For every good muslim invovled in it whether it be in government, engineering, the citzens of the country, etc, the GCC project becomes a bit better.

inshAllah this will be a strong political bloc and requires strong religious commitment from its citzens, advancements in every field linked to prosperous and powerful countries and aim for powerful military, economy, technological development etc.

Dont expect perfection and dont criticise too easily, be patient and appreciate every little change that is beneficial rather than expecting some big change to happen tomorrow. Aid in those developemtns whether it be goign to work their or helping in some otehr way.

My plans are to work in teh gul inshallah in engineering in an area i believe in crucial and also start some farming projects in somalia inshallah as ill be close to somalia inshallah, have somali family, have the money and will to do something needed, and i believe somali could be an excellent provider of food to the muslim world and could have a strong economy inshallah. if i bought land, brought in some new farming and irrigation techniques, employed some local somalis, sold the food IN somalia (even if i incur financial losses it doesnt matter as the aim is a project to benefit somalia not make money) and sell excess food to neighbourhing gulf and muslim african states inshallah. If we all have these aims and ideas and objectives inshallah we will slowly build up stregnth and self sufficiency so all do your best isnhallah and as ive stressed many times, dont be too quick to sit back and criticise while doing nothing, focus your time on something beneficial to the place you feel is most desrving. even if you dont have dunya skills, giving dawah and rectifying the population is a GREAT AND WEIGTHTY effort that will help no doubt. if your in the west you can send money back to teh poor muslim countries to boost the economies, help in charity projects, give dawah to non muslims etc. there is so much good we all can do instead of just attacking anyone trying to do something
