What are we doing to solve the problems of the world?
-
And to harness nature, to talk to its creatures like Solomon did. Know much about its mysteries, how the cavemen mentioned in Quran managed to survive so long in sleep. With all the great discoveries and in true light, maybe one day we shall restore peace on earth. No more poverty, no more injustice, no more sufferings. I know people will still be evil, for if they dont change themselves, God cant help them. But to bring peace is our duty nonetheless.
I dont believe in spending millions on anything that cant end people dying from starving. All welfare should first attempt to end the sufferings and then to magnify human civilization's progress.
Question is what are we doing in THIS cause when we the blessed people have a duty to do so?

Shams jabber, you mentioned about the doctors thinking in the way to cure the diseases of the suffering patients; and it is obvious that the doctors do have and suffer the world of diseases themselves and they are the ones who spread the diseases all over the world. Allah tests all of us with poverty and diseases so that we become humble before the Truthful, that none can physically help another, except to guide them to fear God, while we seek guidance ourselves from the only Helper, the only Protector.

That sounds like Buddhism...
and the Quran says
Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west
but righteousness is
one who believes
in Allah
the Last Day
the angels
the Book
and the prophetsand gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to
relatives
orphans
the needy
the traveler
those who ask , and
for freeing slaves;establishes
prayer
and gives zakahfulfill their promise when they promise
and are patient
in poverty
and hardship
and during battle.Those are the ones who have been true
and it is those who are the righteous

Peace with you all sun
in my opinion if we want to help the others then we must not harm the others. Because if you don't harm it's enough. Just don't disturb the other by their way/their life, don't exploit the others in any way. But we also need to help each other, we live here on the Earth together. If we harm or not help each other then we are going to the bottomless pit all together.
Expl.. So, where do you buy your jeans, and where your food, coffee, tea ... ? As the consumer on the end of the chain we have the control in our hands and power to make pure not purer.
Think about this things please. -

6164 Say, "Is it other than Allah I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things? And every soul earns not except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ."There are many more aayaat which explains that we should look for ourselves 5105. Start looking at yourself first, then you will not get time to look at others. We are not responsible for others, but they are responsible for themselves. Allah is not going to ask us about them, but we have to give our own account. So, thinking and worrying about others may stop you thinking about yourself.
May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr
