Assalaam Alaikum Warahamatullah Wabarakatahu This is the problem in today's time, many are just to comfortable, they have what they need in life, forgetting out those who oppressed day in and day out. But we do not get put down indeed Allah (swt) is with them and ((Insha'Allah)) their ranks are getting raised in the Hereafter. There are a very few who care, and do cry and try their utmost best in helping them.
Even if that means by donating, making du'a for them and informing others to help them. Wallahi we have become a sad state, and it is no one Else's fault but ours as many are away from Quran and Sunnha. Only when we return back to the Haq (truth) justice will be given to us.
The Prophet (peace and bl "Nations are about to scheme against you in the same way as greedy eaters vie with one another on the dining-table.' One of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) asked: 'O Messenger of Allah! Will that relate to being few in n 'No, but your huge number will be of little effectiveness, and (Allah) will cast Al-Wahan I O Messenger of Allah, what does Al-Wahan mean? He said, 'Your hearts are strongly attached to life luxuries and you feel strong aversion to death.
May Allah (swt) allow us all to strive upon the Haq and get back to Quran and Sunnah! ((Aameen)) It is the only way forward.
There is a scary hadith of Prophet(pbuh) I don't know the exact words but the hadith is that If a Muslim see an oppression and decides not to do anything about it, doesn't condemn the acts of the oppressor by his heart or by his speech have the lowest level of Emaan.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
