Allah ta'ala appoints a leader juding by the people of that nation. so when it all boils down, thanks to us, we have Bush. we shouldn't complain of no unity if we cannot contribute to it through our proper islamic character.
 
asallama alaikum brothers and hopefully sisters.Once I heard from Sheik Abdullahi Hakim Quick that this world is a punishment for us and paradise for the disbeleivers, and the next life is a paradise for us and a painful punishment for the disbeleivers.We muslims are so disunited because we don't follow the Shariah fully.We follow some parts and leave out others.The Holy Quran refers to this by saying: ""Do you believe in a part of the Scripture and reject the rest? Then what is the recompense of those who do so among you, except disgrace in this worldly life, and on the Day of Resurrection they shall be consigned to the most grievous torment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do."(Verse2:85)
 
Assalamu'Alaykum

The problem is we as "MUSLIMS" are not practicing "ISLAM"... , we must ask ourselves WHY the Islamic Empire collapsed.............. once u come to the answer ponder.
 
Brothers and Sisters of faith in this forum, could you please define true Islam for me, so we can all follow it and achieve our great Ummah again.

As far as I understand, it definitely is not just Imaan, Salat, Sawm, Hajj and Zakat, while we live under Kuffar nationalist system called Nation-states. True Islam is to follow the example of Muhammad(SAWS) and the commands of Quran, not bits of pieces of it, taken out of context, but in their totality. True Islam is to follow the example of how the Ummah was formed from the sacrifices of the Sahaba and how in the Great early Ummah, under Kholafa-e-Rashidun, all inhabitants could live life in peace and prosperity, under strict Shariah based law and order.

Islam, unlike Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and other world religions, is not a label, which you can put on like a garment, when you have some belief and conduct some rituals. Islam is a total way of life:

- ritualistic
- political
- economic
- judicial

etc. covering all spheres of human activity within the Ummah. Muslims living without a united Ummah, and not working towards it, are not true Muslims.

It is a total system, that includes individuals conducts and governance of society. Until and unless we start working towards that goal, sticking to rituals only just make us half Muslim. Hope you understand these points.

Allahu A'alam.

I wouldnt say that was true Islam, certainly a better Islam, but I mean, if we went by your theory, then none of us are true Muslims, because today an 'ummah' as such does not exist...

True Muslims do exist in the world, but not everyone is perfect at the end of the day...

Exactly. We can see this disease still amongst us in Muslims who smoke, drink and do all kinds of haraam, and then they complain about the condition of the Muslim Ummah.

Astaghfirullah.

Since United Ummah and Khilafat does not exist, if we do not make a conscious effort and work towards making it happen - then we cannot be true muslims. Please note that the point I am making is that the effort to unite the Ummah in any way possible that is within our means, is an integral part of Islam and being a muslim.

Islam and muslims without a United Ummah is a meaningless concept, since no nation, people and system survive without a self supporting state. If we continue the way we are, the differences and divergence will magnify and soon every nation-state will have its own version of Islam.

The Shia faith rose only due to the Safavid and Qazar rulers of Iran from Turkic Azerbaijan, who imported the Shia Twelver Imams from Najaf and Basra and gave them land and power to convert the Sunni Persians around 1500. It was an effort to create a gulf with muslims from Sunni Ottoman and Mughal empire.

So when Westerners talk about political Islam, they do not know that Islam is political by definition.

And our pious and virtual muslim brothers and sisters, who have great enlightened aqeedah, if they are not doing anything to unite the Ummah, are also missing a large part of the picture.

Allahu A'alam.

We need to restore the Caliphate but the Islamic nations remain divided.See how some Islamic nations supported the Iraqi War.

Karimov killed more than a hundred Muslims just becuz they made a march calling Muslims worldwide to restore the Caliphate.

The kuffar have an upper hand against us because we stopped. We (as muslims) used to be the best of people. Nowadays, it is very rare to find that kind of muslim. This is why I urge youngsters to take their education seriously. If we stop again, we're done for.

20k muslims with best equipment is enough to conquer the world even less is enough

Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best [number] of companions is four, and the best of expeditions is 400 and the best of armies is 4000. 12,000 Muslims will not be defeated for lack of numbers."
- [Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi]

Because the mentality of hatred of abu jahal or abu lahab still persist in them whereas we've engrossed in the world and have left the ways of our sahaba ikram RA . Until we follow their foot-steps the circumstance of perdition are not going to be changed.
 
Hey, I'm a Christian from the United States of America.

As to the question of why Muslims are doing so poorly, I would primarily point to the printing press. Paper, books, libraries, and academia used to belong to the Muslims. Then the printing press took things to a whole new level, and Muslims just backed out of it. It didn't happen all at once, of course- Muslim libraries and centers of knowledge did not disappear overnight- but when Europe began to widely use the printing press, while Muslims forbade it, that was the start of a centuries-long process where the fortunes of the West trended up and the fortunes of Muslims trended generally down. Since then the Internet age has been a newer and separate phenomenon, but that's not as closely related to how we got places where we are presently at.

I want to point out a couple of things. Catholics in Europe feared the printing press because they wanted to preserve the unity of Catholicism and maintain the political and social order that the Church had such control over, otherwise known as Christendom. But the printing press did its thing, the Lutherans and Calvinists and Anabaptists were able to survive, I am a direct heir of their traditions, and Christendom (in the previously described sense) was no more. The unity of Catholicism was shattered, never to recover, and the Westphalian nation-state concept that came from That conflict is now the normative global arrangement. And the West is super powerful, you might even say dominant.

The Muslim world also feared the printing press, specifically in terms of what it would do to the authority of the most powerful religious elites and the unity of belief and teaching. So the printing press was banned in a Muslim lands, mostly up to the late 19th and early 20th century although Napoleon dropped off four of them in Egypt in the early 19th century in the course of fleeing by night from a place that didn't want him as a ruler. And the result? Islam still winds up being rather disunified, and most Muslims are doing quite badly by all reasonable measurements.

It was a mistake to ban the printing press, any Muslim who fought against that ban would have done you a favor if they'd won that fight, and now here we are.

The problem is..

And you could ask many people and get many answers.

Imo the problem is that we can't escape our chains.

..have you ever watched phase IV?

Dont worry im going to cringe about this later.
 
Allah will not change a peoples condition until they change their hearts.

unless we change (in large numbers or collectively) this is exactly what we deserve, kuffar over us!
 
Because we are not acting upon Islam and are letting our worldly desires to rule us. If we acted upon Islam we would not let the World rule us but we would rule the World.
