The biggest challenge facing the Ummah today in the face of secularism is inferiority complex.
That is due to us being ignorant of our beautiful Deen which is complete, comprehensive, perfect and absolute.
Remember, a nation educated about it's values is a proud nation. Become an Aalim of Deen to address the challenge of the time.
Allah is the sole provider and sustainer, not secularism.

Terminate the Haj Subsidy
Who exactly pay the Haj subsidy to Air India? Is it the Ministry of External Affairs or the Ministry of Civil Aviation? What is the exact amount? Does it change annually? These are matters of detail, but irrelevant to the the principle that State should not subsidise religious pilgrimage of any kind to any place irrespective of religion.
A senior Muslim leader like Syed Shahabuddin and the young Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad, Asaduddin Owaisi, have both exxpressed the will of the community to terminate the subsidy.
The impediment to Haj subsidy abolition lies squarely with Air India, a state corporation. The Government of India, throught the Central Haj Committee, should invite biddings from various airlines in India for Haj group travel and designate the lowest bidder as the official carrier of the Haj passengers.
Professors should be hungrier for knowledge
Cultivation of knowledge has become more a matter of "advancement of earning" instead of "advancement of learning".
