*Blind to the Problem, Deaf to the Solution* When a person does not recognise a problem, they do not feel compelled to seek a solution. The people of Makkah would have continued to evolve their culture from one type of oppression to another, oblivious to the injustices or simply accepting them as normal. Left to their own devices, there would have been no reform, simply the hardening of old habits. The very first objective of Allah's Messenger ﷺ was to open people's eyes. He emphasised the delusion in their beliefs, the corruption in their procedures, and the unfairness in their actions. Only then did some people recognise that their predecessors were not infallible and that change was not just essential but vital. Today, our communities face an increasing number of issues, but many will not take action until it hits home for them. That is why we need people who stand up, plan, and act in a disciplined, principled manner, rather than in chaos or response. Reform should be proactive, not reactive. The Messenger of Allah said: "*Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you will be questioned about your flock*."This is not a metaphor; it is a responsibility. If we fail to see the problems around us, we will be held accountable for our silence. ========================= 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 & 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝘀: 𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒍: t.me/islamicknowledgereminders 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒔𝑨𝒑𝒑 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒍: Whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaESWXU0QeakndIYqZ1Y
