Racial Pride....

One thing that is a big problem within our muslims and ummah is that we are so divided. we divide ourselved either by race, status, nation, gender and sect. n i just wanted 2 speak bout each of these things. The main thing that really annoys me is when muslims dont see themselves as muslims. they see themselves as 'Arab' or 'Asian' or 'Somali' etc etc. Since when did u hear the Prophet (PBUH) say in any of his hadith that he is a ''proud arab'' or that he encourages pride in races and nations? Apart from the hadith where he said to "love arabs for 3 things" yet this was disproved. I swear i get vexed when i go on holiday to Jordan and see the 'Jordan First' posters. Yet im being accused for being accused for being ashamed which im not. I just dont consider it as a priority

Seriously, like.. whats the point? the muslims didnt progress or overcome any struggle because of 'pride in their nations' what motivated muslims was the faith and trust they had in Allah. Nowadays muslims are too stuck on pride. which is causing division and hate amongst ourselves.. no wonder were being overridden by our enemies. Their motto is "Divide & Conquer" and we seem to have fallen into this trap. So don't come by sayin ArABiiAN GoDdEsS*<3 or PaKii PriiNc£sS coz ur doing NO FAVOURS!.

So why take pride in something that doesnt matter and is not going to matter when u die? why take pride in skin colour? when u die its gonna decay and be in the dirt and soil. all it is is MELANIN. its just a SKIN PIGMENTATION.

Pride will lead to nationalism and racism. i mean look at the arabs and the slave trade. we were arrogant over africans simply becauss we thought we better because of our race and this lead to the suffering of many people. Or how about the Jews in Palestine? what about the BNP? see what i mean??? but obv we have become too blind to notice our own problems. For example two muslims. one iranian and one arab. they both believe in the Same God, The Last Messenger, Pray, Fast and give to charity. yet (just an example) the Iranian muslim looks down on the Arab muslim just because he is Iranian or vice versa. or This could be the case between a Somali muslim and an Indian muslim. i swear this is how our enemies WANT us to think, so they can one by one slowly take over and conquer us. Many muslims even shun mixed race marriages or marriages outside our tribe/family. Prophet Mohammed PBUH told us to ''Marry from afar... do not become sickly''. The Prophet PBUH himself married a Jew and a Byzantinian Egyptian. SO WHY RANT??

in conclusion Pride in Race/Sect= RIDICILOUS AND IGNORANT. We follow the same religion and have the same beliefs, yet we do not act like the brothers and sisters in islam like were supposed to. Dont get this wrong, im not saying that we should be ashamed, just dont mak it a priority. the Prophet Mohammed PBUH didnt, and look what he had accomplished in his life time. Imma leave with this Hadith:

The Prophet peace be upon him said: "people should give up their pride in nations because this is a coal from the coals of hellfire. If they do not give this up llah (SWT) will consider them lower than a lowly dung worm which pushes itself through faeces." (Recorded by Abu-Dawood and Al-Tirmidhi)
