I distinctively remember a Fellow-Muslim whom audaciously pontificated/claimed that Persons whom’re the Same-Ethnicity as they “don’t deserve al-Islām”. This was most definitely one of the most disgusting, hurtful, apathetic Things which I’ve ever heard of via my Entire-Life. The Incredible-Irony is this Same-Person had once left al-Islām & Allah had empowered Other-Muslims to call them back to al-Islām. Now, what if those Same-Muslims pontificated/claimed “That-Person never deserved al-Islām anyway…Fuck-Em.”?!!! It’s truly disgusting, the Self-Hate which Certain-Muslims/Certain Muslim-Demographics (Muslim-Reverts, Muslims external of Muslim-Countries, etc.) have against their own People. (Another-Irony) Allah overtly/directly states: “Save yourselves & your People from Fire.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.66, V.6)
By default/definition, we as Muslims-We’re Islāmically-Mandated to respect our own People, to want what’s best for them. And, without any Doubt: there’s absolutely nothing better than al-Hudā/al-Hidāyah (Guidance) via al-Islām. One of the Key-Things which actually gives Certain-Muslims Leverage over Other-Muslims is the Fact that they respect their own, regardless of whether they’re Muslims or Non-Muslims. Respecting one’s own People is essentiall crucial to effectively convey/communicate al-Islām to them. For example, anytime that Allah has ever sent any amongst the Anbiyā’/Prophetic-Individuals (Peace be upon them altogether): the Vast-Majority of them were sent to their own People firstly, even exclusively.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.10, V.48; at-Tabarī; as-Suyūtī; ibn-Kathīr)
So, if/whenever I hear Fellow-Muslims spew This-Type/Kind of Rhetoric it’s really abysmal. How can any Muslim be comfortable being exposed to Guidance & having the Potential to be/remain Guided, while their own Non-Muslim Ethno-Counterparts are/remain Misguided?!!! How/why is that OK with us?!!! Are we really that apathetic against our own?!!! This Anti-Self/Self-Hatred, which Certain-Muslims pose against our own People: it’s unprincipled & self-destructive…as Allah states: “And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8)
