Laziness and lack of hard work. Success is tied to belief and practice. Let us examine them individually. But Muslims hardly read these days except for a few. It is much easier to watch television, movies, and gossip rather than read a newspaper, a serious book, or a scientific article.
Writing is an even harder job.
We are told that we are barbarians, terrorists, illiterate, and fanatics. Everything related to us, be it our color, our accent, our culture and even our sand is of inferior quality. We have accepted the cultural slavery of our former colonial masters. Sometimes we even feel guilty about being Muslims as we fail to identify ourselves as Muslim in our outlook or behavior. We Muslims in general have acquired the reputation of being late and lazy.
