Regarding this world.....

The Prophet Muhammad said
" The one who makes this world his focus, God will deprive him of contentment and heartfelt satisfaction. He will remain ever in greedy pursuit of wealth and unattainable desires, and he will never receive more than the share that God has ordained for him.

Whoever makes their focus the next life, God will bestow contentment and heartfelt satisfaction on them. He will also protect them from being greedy for wealth, and they will get their allotted share in this world"

(Emerick, Y. 2000"The Meaning of the Holy Qu'ran in Today's English" pg. 296)

This article contains a great message- Muslims need to be more involved in their local communities [and not just amongst themselves] so diverse groups can be exposed to the thousands of wonderfully positive Muslims that are outnumber the extremists.

I am proud to be Muslim and openly talk to anyone who may have misconceptions about Islam due to biased media. I choose to be easily identified as a Muslim woman [with more traditional hijab/head scarf and modest clothes] and one reason is to be a good representative of Islam.

Others also need to do their part and be open-minded enough to see past sterotypes and illogical information- a billion Muslims are not all terrorists just as the billon Christians are not all close-minded extremists who kill abortion docters.
