Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, a questioner says: I love you for the sake of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. What is your opinion regarding the disagreement and weakness of the Muslims, and who is responsible for it? Are they the rulers, or are we all? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
The cause of the Muslims' weakness is the Muslims in general; the cause is the Muslims, because they did not take what Allah commanded them to take, namely cooperation, mutual advice, uniting upon the religion of Allah, gaining knowledge of the religion of Allah, calling to Allah, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and preparing strength for jihad in the path of Allah. They are the ones who neglected these matters, and so they were neglected, and weakness resulted from all of them.
