Why do muslim today are in disgrace and degraded?

What are the causes of the downfall of the muslim ummah today?

In Syria and Egypt muslims are fighting each others. In Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and other Islamic countries muslim are being oppressed and killed by kuffar, enemies of Islam.

We have also been praying to Allah The Exalted to as for His help. But until today Allah, The Almighty has not help the muslims in those countries.

Why Allah SWT does not help us?

This is because we ummatul Islam have turned our back from the Laws and regulations of Allah, The Almighty we have deviated from the straight path that has been left to us by our beloved prophet, Rasulullah SAW.


Rasulullah SAW had said;
   
عن أبي الدرداء رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "لَقَدْ تَرَكْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْمَحَجَّةِ الْبَيْضَآءِ لَيْلُهَا كَنَهَارِهَا لَا يَزِيْغُ عَنْهَا بَعْدِي إِلَّا هَالِكٌ" (صحيح)  رواه أحمد


And I have left you in a straight road that is so bright that its night is like its days and no shall deviate from it after me except he will perish and destroyed.

According to the hadith if we deviate from from the strainght road left to us by the messanger of Allah, peace and blessing be upon him, we shall be destroyed, killed and disgraced. So it means today we have deviated from this straight road that is why we muslim all over the world are being oppressed, killed and in disgrace.

We must understand that this straight path is made of Al-Quran and al- hadith which is composed of three branches of knowledge that is; al-Islam which is discussed in Ilmu Fiqh, al-Iman which is discussed in Ilmu Usuluddin and ai-Ihsan which is discussed in Ilmu Tasawwuf and tarekat.

Because of the influence of Wahhabi. Majority of muslims today have left out al-Ihsan. What is al-Ihasn? According to the hadith narrated by Sayyidina Umar RA. Al-Ihsan means that we worship Allah SWT as if we see Him and if we can not each this stage we must know that Allah SWT is always watching us.

So from this hadith al-Ihsan is not good conduct but it is a spiritual exprience. In Ilmu tasawwuf the first stage is called maqam Musyahada and the second one is maqam Muraqabah.


We can only reach maqam muraqabah dan musyahadah if we learn ilmu tasawwuf and tarekat and practice it. Because majority of us have left out the third branch of Islamic knowledge, al-Ihsan. Our Islam today is not complete that is why we are disgraced, degraded, oppressed and killed by enemies of Islam. And Allah SWT surely will not help us because we do not follow His Order in surah al-Baqarah verse 208:


يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ادْخُلُوا فِي السِّلْمِ كَافَّةً
O!  Believers enter into Islam completely”.


So if we want to be honoured and respected we must retrn to the straight path as commanded by Allah SWT in surah Az-Zumar verse 54:


وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ
"And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islamic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him, (in Islam), before the torment comes upon you, then you will not be helped.
