Qatar is the first Muslim country to host the football World Cup - isn't that worth celebrating?

Here is how Muslims can enjoy the Qatar World Cup.

🎯Forget the many migrant workers who died in terrible working conditions, in order to build air-conditioned stadiums and hotels, so you can enjoy a sporting spectacle. Their lives couldn’t have been that important?

2/10

🎯Ignore Qatar’s Govt's agreement allowing brutal Zionist occupiers of Palestine to fly-in and enjoy the world cup festival.

3/10

🎯Ignore the over $200 billion spent on preparing for the world cup; while the ummah starves in Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere.

4/10

🎯Ignore Qatar’s suspension of those few Islamic shariah laws that they implemented. So alcohol will be allowed during the World cup because people need to ‘enjoy’ themselves. Isn’t that what the world cup is all about?

5/10

🎯Ignore Qatar’s Al Udeid airbase hosts UK/US planes from where they fly bombing missions in the region. Forget how many Muslims have been killed in Iraq or Afghanistan by British & American planes and drones from Al Udeid. That’s OK because those Muslims are not Qataris?

🎯 You have to forget the hadith saying the blood of a Muslim is worth more than the Ka’aba in the sight of Allah (swt).

7/10

🎯Ignore the Qur’anic ayahs that remind us that life isn’t just mere play.

If a Muslim is able to ignore all these matters, then it is possible to enjoy the football World Cup in Qatar.

🎯In the time of the Khilafah, Muslims carried the dawah of Islam to the world. Today, our so-called rulers are at the forefront of trying to impose secular capitalist values on Muslim societies. May Allah (swt) destroy their thrones.

9/10

🎯May Allah (swt) protect us from accepting what is displeasing to Him when it is wrapped up as ‘entertainment’.

May Allah (swt) enable us to hold on to Islamic values and demand their implementation in Muslim societies by the return of the Islamic Khilafah state.
