What Happened to the Ummah !!

Reading the following article made me remind these words of a Nasheed and it really pains to see the deteriorating condiiton of Ummah.These words are dedicated to our Beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alaihy Wasallam.
Ummah is in Chaos

I wish You were here 

Here next to me 
Been missing You so 
So desperately 
But lately I feel 

Like You feel and 

I see what you see 

How I'm missing You 


What happened to the ummah 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can u tell 

Used to inspire others with our way of thinking and speech 

People came from afar just to hear us teach 

Yo what happened to the ummah 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can u tell 

Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked 

We lost our deen we feel secure 

‘Cause our mansions are locked 

In my teen years salah wasn't really that tight 

Now I gotta pray each one of them twice 

What happened to the ummah 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can u tell 

Brother we prefer light skinned women 

While righteously maintaining our deen against racism 

What happened to the ummah 

Once known so well 

Greatness was known 

But now can u tell 

What happened to the ummah once known so well 

Greatness was known, but now can u tell 

Kids in Africa are starving – can't afford to cry 

I'll pay interest for a car I can't afford to buy 

What happened to the ummah once known so well 

Greatness was known, but now can u tell? 

We used to smile at each other, with faces full of light 

Now we frown at each other, we bicker and we fight 

Pops in the mosque praying, kids in the streets hating 

Kids on the corner selling, pops in the mosque preachin' 

What happened to the ummah once known so well 

Greatness was known but now can u tell? 

The Quran has left out hearts stranded, hanging on out walls 

6232verses, so strong 

9 out of 10 of us can't even read or write 

1924 feels distant like way before Christ 

May Allah Ta'ala remove the darkness of ignorance spreading over Ummah and give us the taufeeq to make  aware and strength our fellow muslim brothers and sisters Ameen !
