Fall Of Muslims

<h1>Fall Of Muslims</h1>Author: <a title="Nawaz" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/nawaz/19222.htm">Nawaz</a> Historians are often astonished to note how the Arabs could reach the height of their glory in such a short span of time, fourteen centuries earlier. But in fact there is nothing to be astonished about. Their glory was the natural consequence of acting in the guidance provided by the Quran. The most astonishing thing on the other hand is that which made the Muslim nation, after it reached the pinnacle of its glory by acting on the Quran and after it witnessed the results of such an action with its own eyes, then why they decline in every sphere of life and ultimately fall into an abyss? How did it happen that the veils of darkness mentioned above could manage to fall in between the light of the Quran and the followers of the Quran? The story is most painful and hair-raising and is worth listening to with rapt attention. It runs as follows: When the forces which opposed the rising tide of Islam in the 7th century A.D. noticed that the uneducated, unskilled, undisciplined and most backward people of the world living on dates for their subsistence had become the dominant power of the world within a very short period, they not only became jealous of this but also cautious. They simply could not bear the aliens treading on their territories and demolishing the structure of their ancient civilizations. The superior nations of that period were the Romans and the Persians who comprise the intelligentsia of that age. They were defeated and overrun by the Arabs who were far inferior to them in material resources. When Hermazan, the defeated Persian Governor was produced before Hazrat Omar !11 Caliph of Islam), the latter asked him why the Persians were now suffering defeat after defeat at the hands of Arabs while previously they could beat them back easily in any encounter. Hermazan replied that earlier the Persians had fought the Arabs alone but now they had to fight against the Arabs plus their God and it was not possible for them to defeat these two forces combined. How true his answer was when we look at the Quranic verse; “Truly God is with the believers.” - Al Anfall 8:19 The Persians were men of wisdom and insight, they truly realized that Arabs would remain invincible in the battlefield so long as they were close followers of the Quran and that the only way to overpower them was to disassociate them from the guidance of the Quran and thus get them separated from their God. This was an important turning point in the history of Islam, and thus cam in waves of conspiracies which entirely changed the very face of Islam in the years to follow. All the basic concepts of the Quran on which the ‘Deen’ or social order established by Muhammad (peace be upon him) came into existence and were replaced one by one by ideas, beliefs and superstitions which were the outcome of human thinking. Muslims in their era of glory and triumph conquered both Romans and Persians but whereas the Roman empire was partly conquered, the Persian empire was not entirely subjugated but the edifice of its civilization was completely razed to the ground. It was natural thing which that they felt it deeply and maligned the minds of muslims in coming centuries. We all can see that Muslims of today have become an example of weakness and one with no divine objectives.About the Author: Nawaz is an author of this article.

Weinberg’s Snow Removal Service

By: Rabbi Simcha Weinberg | 05/01/2010
I don’t have to go to the gym today! It took more time for me to shovel the snow than I would usually spend in the gym and I certainly burned enough calories. In fact, although my muscles ache and my back is sore, I enjoy shoveling snow (without Pip’s help. See Silence) more than using a treadmill. When I walk off the treadmill I am exactly where I began. When I finish shoveling the snow I have tangible proof of my work. (A Measure of Success)

Accommodation

By: Phillip Ross | 04/01/2010
The Bible is opposed to all forms of sin. And because people naturally love their sins, it is opposed to the sins of godlessness and multiculturalism. Beware of leaders who value freedom over truth.

Blind Followers

By: Nawaz | 26/09/2009 | Religion
Self preservation is a powerful force in humans, this exist on both personal & national level; in fact its a constant fear of facing a defeat, even on a intellectual level. In an attempt to avoid intellectual defeat, proof and evidence is created either consciously or subconsciously for beliefs that are held in them. Failure even in minor situations cause a feeling of being overwhelmed which is leading to an inferiority complex and a fear.

Oh Muslims

By: Nawaz | 06/09/2009 | Religion
f one looks at the general picture of the Muslim world today it is hard to find something positive on the horizon. There is political chaos and regional turmoil all over the Muslim world.

Why People Of Pakistan Want A Change

By: Nawaz | 08/08/2009 | Politics
Since the creation of our country the factors unifying the people of Pakistan have been losing their glueyness. Selfish governance, lack of political reforms, undemocratic progress, nonexistence of justice, subjugation of farmers and workers by the feudal lords and businessmen, absence of merit, non-provision of equivalent opportunities to each Pakistani and, above all, the rejection of quality education to a immense majority of Pakistanis are only some of the reasons that come to mind as things

Conecpt Of Islamic State

By: Nawaz | 31/07/2009 | Religion
The governance has nothing to do with the matters pertaining to religion and ethics. The governance is comprehensive and composite which encompasses the entire life of the individual members of the society and is never accountable to anyone for its functions and decisions. It raised power from the geographical boundaries for its nationalism.

Terrorists Come From Every Religion

By: Nawaz | 25/07/2009 | Religion
Acts of terrorism are not confined to Muslims alone. Terrorists come from every religion. But the media often uses the term Islamic terrorists or Islamic terrorism, implying terrorism is associated with Islam. It is our duty as American Muslims to present the true picture of Islam, which is that Islam does not teach terrorism under any circumstances. It forbids killing of innocent civilians.

Value Of Character In Islam

By: Nawaz | 11/07/2009 | Religion
Human beings occupy a unique place in the universe. By virtue of possessing a human body, men are part of the material world. Thus he is as much subject to natural laws as is any other object in the universe. Birth, growth, decay and death of the human body are natural processes and so are governed by the laws of nature. On the other hand men are also endowed with an inner self or ego which expresses itself as a free will which is inherent in the self. Since the self is a special gift given to m

Message Of Quran

By: Nawaz | 29/06/2009 | Religion
The Quran reminds us that in reality humankind was one Ummah but this unity was broken by various differences which the human beings created among themselves surah 10 verse 19. It emphasizes the fact that the main purpose of sending God's message through various Messengers is to restore back the balance and unity of humankind which once existed in the earliest period of human history.

Impact Of Divisions In Today's Muslim World

By: Nawaz | 20/06/2009 | Religion
Contrary to the teachings of the Quran which prohibits any division of Muslims into sects, they have been subject to division and disintegration for the last few centuries, which is a result of this as a natural consequence of predecessor worship. Difference of opinion does occur among human beings and did occur even amongst the companions of the Messenger but they did not allow themselves to be divided into sects.
