Don't expect the Kuffaar to respect Islaam when we, as Muslims...
...do not respect it.
...do not live by its teachings.
...have abandoned the rights of Allaah.
...follow our desires over the Sunnah.
...have distorted the meaning of `Ibaadah (servitude).
...prefer comfort over Inqiyaad (submission).
...ask Allaah for our rights but do not fulfill His rights.
...follow what we like and abandon what we don't like.
...follow what is in our favor and dislike when it goes against us.
...know the true path, yet choose the wrong one.
...know the falsehood but do not abandon it.
...prefer ignorance over guidance.
...have left the religion of the forefathers only to adopt the religion of the personalities.
...have lost the Furqaan (criterion) to judge between the right and the wrong.
...prefer not to distinguish between the right and the wrong.
...prefer not to distinguish between Ahl al-Tawheed (people of Tawheed) and Ahl al-Shirk.
...prefer not to distinguish between Ahl al-Sunnatu wal-Jamaa`ah and Ahl al-Bid`atu wal-Dhalaalatu wal-Furqah (people of innovation, misguidance and division) [Division is caused in the Ummah when people abandon the Sunnah and follow innovations].
...do not enjoin what is good and beneficial.
...do not prohibit what is bad and harmful.
...prefer entertainment and luxuries of life over Allaah's pleasure.
...abandon what is beneficial and opt for what is harmful.
...when we prefer arrogance over humility.
...when we prefer immorality over modesty.
...when we brag about our good deeds and are not ashamed of our sins.
...when we sin openly and cooperate with others in it.
...when we commit more sins than good deeds.
...when we prefer the Dunya over the Aakhirah.
Indeed we are deceiving ourselves and are living in delusion. Remember, Islaam is not in need of us. Rather, we are in need of Islaam. If we ever try to replace Islaam in our lives, instead we will be replaced. As Allaah تعالى said:
وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوا أَمْثَالَكُم
❝{And if you turn away (from Islaam and the obedience of Allaah), He will exchange you for some other people, and they will not be your likes.} ❞
[Surah Muhammad (47): 38]
Also:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّـهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ يُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ
❝{O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islaam), Allaah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allaah, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers.}❞
[Surah al-Maaidah (5): 54]
