Al-Albaani when told about a visit to Spain …
by The Albaani Site
Translated by Ahmed Abu Turaab
As-Sadhaan mentioned that, “Shaikh Esaam Haadi, may Allaah the Most High protect him, said, ‘When I came back from Spain I spoke to the Shaikh about the condition of the Muslims there. And from the things that I told him about was the justice the Muslims receive in the lands of kufr in terms of freedom in their worship and [the freedom] to gather. Such that, for example, they can make a request to the municipality to [allow them to] pray the Eed prayer in an open place outside [musalla], [as a result of which] the municipality will prepare a place for them and send a patrol officer to facilitate their parking and passing safely, and things such as this.
So the Shaikh started crying and said, “Allaahu Akbar. The Muslims receive justice and freedom in the lands of kufr which they don’t even get in the lands of Islaam! So Allaah’s Aid is sought, and there is neither movement or power except by the Will of Allaah.”
Al-Imaam al-Albaani, Duroos, wa Mawaaqif, wa Ibar, of Abdul-Aziz ibn Muhammad Abdullaah as-Sadhaan, p. 138.

SubhaanAllaah! How true it is that we in the west are able to freely practice our religion! If only those in the east understood this and the pain we in the west feel that we cannot easily migrate to a land of islaam bc that land won’t accept us and we are muslim! Allaahu musta’aan.

The conditions of Muslims in the east is not so bad as it is referred above. I think, Muslims in the east enjoy more freedom to practise their faith, than the Muslims in the west.

Dear Abu Thurab,
Assalamu alaikum. This incident tells us that a lot of introspection in our community is needed. Most of the troubles Muslims face is , I believe, due to the failure of the community to adhere to the noble Islamic principles. Let us pray for true guidance from Allah Almighty.
Warm regards
