Islam's Crooked Mirror - Self-serving Rulers of Muslim Lands and Misled Followers

Most non-Muslims recognize and appreciate the beauty, logic and coherence in the teachings of Islam. The moment they turn to look at the Muslims of today, they also get turned away from the same beautiful religion because they cannot identify any trace of the same beautiful image reflected in the personality of these upholders of the religion.

This is a sad but true story in present day Muslim societies. The reason for their decline and decay over the centuries is their turning away from the guidance of God almighty. The historical reason for the rise to glory of Muslims was their commitment to the beautiful teachings of Islam in which serving the society is a priority over serving the self. It is when Muslims themselves return to the original teachings of their religion that they will see non-Muslims coming in crowds to embrace the beautiful Islam - the truth from the Lord of the seen and the unseen.
