Lost in transit

If we all are here to do good deeds in order to qualify for the best eternal life hereafter and as a Muslim it’s an integral part of my faith, then a question comes in my mind and that is, what are we really doing in this transitional life?
If we examine the fundamentals of Islam, we can concede that an Islamic society should have the best justice system, unity, social equality, tolerance to those who disagree or have a different opinion, social security for the vulnerable citizens, free education, free health care, equal employment opportunities based on merit only, protection of resources of every individual without considering his/her religious beliefs or cultural values, and the list goes on endlessly.
But then, are we really doing what our religion teaches us? Unfortunately when we see the Muslim countries around the world, we can easily conclude that not only are we not following Islam but actually doing exactly opposite of what our religion teaches us. Then I ask myself a question as who is responsible for all this? When I was in Pakistan, I used to believe exactly what the majority of every Muslim country believes, it’s the West. West is responsible for corrupting our system in which nothing can be achieved without bribes or solid social contacts. West is responsible for electing those rulers who destroy our economy and social justice structure by looting the state resources and plundering massive wealth for themselves and hey, they get elected again, probably the westerners come and vote for them in the elections.
West is responsible for keeping our children out of schools, colleges and universities.
West is responsible for not building hospitals and also for not providing the necessary amenities to the citizens of Pakistan.
It’s the white westerner imposters who lead our prayers and mobilise the different sects in Muslims to kill each other after labelling them as infidels.
It’s all westerner judges in our courts who wouldn’t pass a single judgement unless they get their fair bribe which usually is from the criminal side as they are the ones who have money.
Yes it is the westerners who force us to lie when we sell the goods. It’s the west that teaches us to rape minor kids, employ people on wages with which they can’t sustain themselves and their families thus looking for other illegal means to make money, kill innocent people for greed or in the name of Allah SWT or our Prophet SallallahoAlaiheWassallam (PBUH) who have not only forgiven his enemies but also prayed for them to be guided by Allah SWT.
And it is the west that has banned us from building dams in our country so that we suffer long electricity load shedding and floods can be viewed as a natural calamity that kills thousands every year.
If you still believe that it’s the non Muslim west responsible for all our problems then
GOD BLESS YOU.
