What do you think can be the
reason of Muslim`s fall down and decline throughout the history? People can
debate a lot on this topic. Some might think that Muslims lost their dignity by
forgetting the principles of Islam. Some can explain it as propaganda by the
other nations of the world. Both of these believes are true and played an
important role in the turn down of Muslim nations. I, on the other hand believe
in another view which is ofcourse not forcing to accept but this is something I
believe played a vital role in the destruction of Muslims rule over the world.
I believe that the Muslims have destroyed their image by themselves. This is
quite a debatable point on which many views can be observed. The three Muslim
Empires, the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals have faced the inevitable state of
fall down. But each individual empire has different reasons of decline. Whether
it is social, religious, economic, or political reasons, the empires, like many
others, have fallen. I want to elaborate that whenever Muslim rulers and the
common men find some thing new, luxurious and entertaining, they start using it
excessively. You can find many examples on this topic from the history. In the
Mughal empire, it was seen that the ruler become interested in women and wine.
To some extent entertainment is good and refreshing (if we exclude the teachings
of Islam here). Every nation in this world enjoys different sort of
entertainments but in limits, our problem is that we start using these
entertainments without limits.
You do not need to go to past to prove this problem, the current situation can
also be determined as a reason of backwardness in our society. We can call
ourselves technological advance society, you can see a mobile phone in the hands
of youngsters so often that if a youth is not holding a cell phone in his hand
he will feel awkward. Now I want to elaborate that using technology is not a bad
thing but using it too much that losing its dignity will destroy the actual
purpose of the invention. Our youth do not use the technology for a good and
useful purpose actually they use it just for chatting, talking to their
infinitive girl friends, and playing games. A very little portion of our
youngsters actually use their time purposeful on the inventions.
Now I think I have made my actual point clear that our nation has made
themselves slaves of these inventions. My humbling request to our youth is that
try to make your time useful, following our neighboring country that is now a
fast growing economy due to fair use of technology in all aspects of life. I am
not saying that we are not a responsible nation, ofcourse we are, but we need to
be goal oriented. We have always ruled the world because of our talent, energy,
sincerity and mercifulness. So, try to help in lifting the morale of our country
worldwide and make the other nations clear that we are still a hardworking and
intelligent nation.
