Islam has been reported as being a very ancient or behind the times religion. Muslims who follow the faith of Islam feel very differently. Islam has just as much meaning for Muslims living in today’s modern world as it did when Prophet Muhammad (swt) first spoke his preaching to the people of Makkah. In the past there was clues just as there is now. Islam is a foundation where we can put our worries and trouble into and know that there is a purpose for us which is higher than the almighty dollar.
Today’s society worships mainly one thing, money . We go to our modern churches, which we call banks and see our way to buying the fast cars, large houses and luxuries clothes which are ridiculously over priced. I met a Muslim who once told me 'I worked hard for my money, so what if I buy expensive things', is what they will say and they are right. But read again and you will notice that this person keeps referring to himself as ‘I buy’ and 'my money'. This is the attitude of modern society.
Islam teaches that we need to think of others too which is why we give Zakat, a percentage of our earnings to the poor. We also have fasting and feel the way those less fortunate would feel. ‘Muslims need to learn to integrate’ is what is splashed on papers and TV but I have noticed they have integrated fairly well, disregarding their religious beliefs just to confirm to the 'norm'.
