News & Comment The elderly should not die alone

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

News

The Daily Mail posted a news story today, 12th November, 2014, that fills the heart with sadness: "Hundreds of mourners to attend funeral of Welsh Guardsman, 85, following public appeal after church failed to trace any friends or family". The article stated that Mr. Morgan was a former British soldier who served his country many years ago, and listed other examples of former soldiers and war heroes that died at an old age, and, in the absence of known relatives or friends, were buried by total strangers.

No comment; only questions...

Why do Western societies claim the right to world leadership when their young heroes can only look forward to growing old alone, and becoming strangers to the world they helped to build?

If their youth knew that the opposite is true in societies where Islamic culture shapes the thoughts and sentiments, and that with age comes veneration, would they not wish to become Muslims and to raise many children in a world governed by Islam?
Do they know what is Islam?
