Root cause of Ummah’s decline lies in its distance from the universal message of Quran, says Shujauddin Sheikh

The root cause of the decline and difficult circumstances facing the Muslim Ummah is its distance from the Qur’an and its neglect of the teachings of Allah and His Messenger. If the Muslim Ummah wishes to restore its former glory, it must accept the Qur’an as its guide and constitution.

Hawzah News Agency- This was stated by Ameer, Tanzeem-e-Islami Shujauddin Sheikh, while addressing a seminar organized by Tanzeem-e-Islami in Islamabad as part of its three-week nationwide campaign titled “The State of the Muslim Ummah and the Path to Salvation. He said that today the Muslim world is geographically divided into small nation-states. However, it is deeply regrettable that among the 57 Muslim countries, there is not a single country that can be presented to the world as a role model.

He urged Muslim countries to unite in confronting the forces fighting against Muslims and to pool their resources not only on the political, economic and military fronts, but also in the fields of trade and industry. This, he said, would enable the Muslim Ummah to emerge once again as a strong political and economic power and allow Muslims to present to the world an Islamic model that could serve as a guiding light for humanity.

Researcher and author Professor Dr. Habib-ur-Rehman Asim said that the fundamental reason for the Muslim Ummah’s present decline is the distortion of its understanding of religion and its departure from the pure and exemplary life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

He said that until Muslims bring their politics, economy, judiciary, culture and entire social system into harmony with Islamic teachings, the establishment of a righteous society in the world will remain impossible, and the dream of peace will remain merely a dream.
