What are the causes of the humiliation and degradation that have befallen the Muslim community?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Muslim community has reached a state of humiliation, weakness, and degradation that everyone knows, and its enemies control its destinies. Looking at the experiences of other nations, such as the Japanese experience, the Afghan experience, or the recent European experience, we find that most nations have achieved progress forward, except for the Muslim community. Is this due to a defect in the community, or to errors in the leadership of the intellectual movements that lead the community?
The Shaykh : The defect is clear, my brother. A single verse, if we mention it, is the answer:[Muhammad 47:7] Did the Muslims support Allah?
The questioner : Of course not.
The Shaykh : So the answer is that Allah does not support them.
The questioner : And what is the solution, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : What is the solution? It is this:
The questioner : Is it from the community or from the existing movements and their leadership?
The Shaykh : It is not just the community; it is from the leaders and the led together, all of them.
The questioner : All of them have a defect.
The Shaykh : No.
The Shaykh : The defect is clear, my brother. A single verse, if we mention it, is the answer:
if you support Allah, He will support you
إن تنصروا الله ينصركمThe questioner : Of course not.
The Shaykh : So the answer is that Allah does not support them.
The questioner : And what is the solution, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : What is the solution? It is this:
The questioner : Is it from the community or from the existing movements and their leadership?
The Shaykh : It is not just the community; it is from the leaders and the led together, all of them.
The questioner : All of them have a defect.
The Shaykh : No.
