1) Young Muslims - The Message

3. Muslims are best as a wholeInspite of all the black sheeps in the Muslim community, Muslimstaken on the whole, yet form the best community in the world. Weare the biggest community of teetotalers as a whole, i.e., those whodon’t imbibe alcohol. Collectively, we are a community which givesthe maximum charity in the world. There is not a single person inthe world who can even show a candle to the Muslims wheremodesty is concerned; where sobriety is concerned; where humanvalues and ethics are concerned.4. Don’t judge a car by its driverIf you want to judge how good is the latest model of the“Mercedes” car and a person who does not know how to drive sitsat the steering wheel and bangs the car up, who will you blame?The car or the driver? Naturally, the driver. To analyze how goodthe car is, a person should not look at the driver but see the abilityand features of the car. How fast is it, what is its average fuelconsumption, what are the safety measures, etc. Even if I agree forthe sake of argument that the Muslims are bad, we can’t judgeIslam by its followers! If you want to judge how good Islam is, thenjudge it according to its authentic sources, i.e., the Glorious Qur’anand the Sahih Hadith.5. Judge Islam by its best follower i.e. Prophet Muhammad(Blessings and peace be upon him)If you practically want to check how good a car is, put an expertdriver behind the steering wheel. Similarly, the best and the mostexemplary follower of Islam by whom you can check how goodIslam is, is the last and final messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad(Blessings and Peace be upon him). Besides Muslims, there areseveral honest and unbiased non-Muslim historians too who haveacclaimed that prophet Muhammad (Blessings and Peace be uponhim) was the best human being.
