This is a story about four
Muslims named Everybody,
Somebody, Anybody,
and Nobody
There was an important job to be done
and Everybody was sure
that
Somebody
would do it.
Anybody
could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was
Everybody's
job.
Everybody
thought Anybody
could do it, but Nobody
realized
that
Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that
Everybody
blamed
Somebody when Nobody
did
what
Anybody could have done.
Finally, Somebody
did it and
Everybody started arguing about
what Somebody did until
Nobody
was left who cared to do anything
for Anybody anymore."
**Allah has blessed us with many positive
Islamic efforts .
**These efforts will, inshaaAllah, overcome the
drone of negativity that exists within a small segment of our Muslim
community.
**This negativity is in sharp contrast to loving
support and constructive criticism and analysis that are so essential in
building a successful Ummah.
** As our Islamic efforts mature and develop, we
should learn to converge on being action-oriented and learning-oriented,
avoiding analysis paralysis while seeking the right balance between blind
support and no support.
**What
the Muslim community really needs are more people willing to do work (%real
players) and less critics from the sidelines. For indeed we need people
who make a difference & not arm chair critics.
May Allah give strength & blessings to the sincere efforts exerted !
