The causes of Muslim weakness

The weakness that has inflicted Muslims was because of the non-application of the rulings of Islam and not applying its teachings. Muslims have become mean in the sight of Allah when they neglected His Commands and Prohibitions, therefore they subjected to the power of every lewd and disbeliever to act as they want with them and with their countries, rob its bounties, and spread corruption, lewdness, and atheism therein.

The Muslim nation was the best nation that was brought to people when they boasted of this religion, carried its message, and conveyed it to other nations.

When whims and desires were avoided, and intentions were dedicated truly to Allah and worked sincerely on the application of Islamic rulings, Allah stood by its side, supported it, and made it victorious. Accordingly, the East and the West subjugated to it, monotheism and the worship of Allah spread all over the globe, and goodness, justice, and peace prevailed because the rule has become to the Shari`ah of Allah (Glory be to Him), and He is All-Knowing of what may fix and cause happiness to humans.

Today, the nation was tested by its dearest possession -which is the religion of Allah by which Allah made it victorious- and forsook it, hence it was deceived by its enemies.

Most Muslims desired the items that were in the hands of their enemies, taking from them every error and falsehood.

Moreover, they imitated them in their lewdness, deviation, and morals without distinction between the useful and the harmful. As a result, they have become weak and their mention has gone.

World senior thinkers almost held consensus that the reason of the decay which is about to destroy human society is because of the loss of faith for which Allah created people. So, if a person forsakes his faith in Allah, His Messenger, and the Last Day, he will be in the lowest stage and will become like a cog in a machine, a wolf in a forest, a sheep in a herd, a mad dog, or a crazy drunk. Allah (Glory be to Him) says: "Verily, We created man in the best stature (mould). * Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low." [Surat At-Tin: 4 - 5]. That is because Allah (Glory be to Him) created man to know and worship Him, follow His Commands, and obey Him, thereby he will be in the best manner and shape.

However, if man abandons what he is created for, Allah will punish him by deforming his morals and corrupting his thoughts and behavior.

Today, reality is the best witness to these conditions and there are many examples to this. Newspapers have published several days ago that one hundred adults had clashed with the police at California coast.

They overturned a car and set fire to it, as they set fire to one of the rescue cars then clashes spread and turned into widespread riots along the beach. The reason for all these was the police intervention to prevent a group of women from stripping naked before crowds.

There are several instances to this; the morals of these countries which give an example to civil advancement are lower than the manners of dogs because they have lost their faith in Allah who is the main power that can deter any corruption and vice. It is the moving force for every virtue and goodness, and without which there is no chivalry, dignity, and honor. Whatever people search for a refuge or a cure to save humanity from disruption and loss in which the majority of people live today, they will not find but having faith in Allah and returning to the religion of Islam, for it is the only savior for them from their problems.
