PREFACE:
The present Muslim world though blessed with God’s blessing and pleasures (i.e. Oil, Gas and good living standard) and after seeing this you can rightly say without any doubt that Muslims are the most blessed people but yet they are looking for fulldays of prosperity & glory as they face trials, disgrace & killing, civil & sectarian wars and ruled by cruel, unfit & corrupted authorities.
On the contrary non-Muslim world (i.e. developed) is facing the days of austerity, hardship and burden of huge tax payments despite advance technology and yet they are looking for affluence, truth, peace of mind as the social & family life is almost failure which causes loneliness, suicide, crimes and injustice (i.e. double burden) to women as single mothers’ population and rate of divorce is increasing in well developed countries.
The true prophesy of true Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
Muhammad (peace be upon him) the truthful (i.e. a’meen & saadiq in Arabic) prophet & messenger of God,foretold the present hard days of trial & destruction (i.e. fitna) in Muslim world is based on their characters and who could be more truthful than him? He said when his umma would involve in fifteen (15) evil things then they would see days of trials & destruction. (See below for details of this Hadith or see Tirmidhi Hadith 1448 and 1447 )
The best guidance is the guidance given by Prophet Muhammad (sallal la’hu alaih wa’sallam),as he identified one of the major causes of these days of destruction & disgrace is due to luxury brands, competition & boasting to degrade each other. Beloved prophet swore God as he said, “By Allah, I am not afraid of your poverty but I am afraid that you will lead a life of luxury as past nations did, whereupon you will compete with each other for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy you as it destroyed them."(For details refer to Bukhari 4.385),”
On the other hand, the tip of prosperity (i.e. to increase provisions and to have good health) is to keep good relations with relatives but should never do any jealousy and nor do any boasting (i.e. overemphasize possessions or accomplishments) to degrade them.
Furthermore, another true prophesy of true Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as he again swore God that when people wouldn’t advise each other to virtue (i.e. for doing good deeds) and would not stop evil things then God certainly send punishments on them.
Narrated by Hudhayfah: The Prophet (pbuh) said: “By Him in Whose hands is my life (Allah the Almighty), necessarily you should enjoin virtue and check evil, or else Allah will certainly send chastisement upon you. And then you will pray but your supplications will not be accepted.” (Al-Tirmidhi 193)
God instructed not to look at the wealth of other people (i.e. not to envy on their success)? A simple question: Are present generations are dealing believers with kindness? Are they happy with their wealth and success? Do they really wish what they like for themselves? The Prophet said, "None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself.” Is the present generation having faith under the light of this Hadith?
Besides, the glorious Quran demands kindness when dealing with believers, refer to Quran 15: 88, “Do not look at the worldly wealth which We have given to different people among them, nor grieve at their condition. Leave them alone; attend to the believers in kindness,” Also see Quran 5:54 where God instructed to live with humility against believers.
Please note only poor and humble people enter into paradise and all arrogant people will be destined for hellfire (see Bukhari Hadith 9.541). From this Hadith we can easily understand that if someone is wealthy and not be humble then his chances of getting into paradise is almost negligible!(God knows best)
Furthermore, our beloved prophet said: "Do you know the thing which most commonly brings people into Paradise? It is fear of Allah and good character. Do you know what most commonly brings people into Hell? It is the two hollow things: the mouth and the private parts."(Tirmidhi 4832)

THE SHORT ESSAY
This is consisting of the following:
1) Quraan has answer for all the Questions & problems, 2) Hold fast the rope of Allah, 3) What is the first order of God?, 4) Guidance of Muhammad (pbuh) to us & future generations, 5)The Message of Quran!, 6) The top most important things, 7) who are responsible for the present days of disgrace?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 1) Quraan has answer for all the Questions & problems!
We don’t need to go to famous Oxford or Harvard University to find out the solution for the present problems in Muslim world. Because we have the glorious Quran and sayings of Muhammad (pbuh) which we got for free, never paid, has answer for all questions and solutions to all problems!
The solution is simple predicted in the glorious Quran and that is to change the present life style of Muslims which don’t comply with Quran and Sunna.
As glorious Quran speak: “Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls).” (See Q13:11; also see 8:53)
Furthermore, these disgraceful days is due to one of the reasons as described in one verse of Quran 2:85, in which Allah says when believers accept(i.e. follows) some part of the book and reject some then certainly they will face disgraceful days.
Allah is explaining this subject by giving an example in the Quran 2:85, which states as follows: “……So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; --“
Please note disbelieving of one verse is same as disbelieving the whole Quran and to those who disbelieve, God says that He is going to punish them in this world and as well as in the next world. (Refer to Q3:56), so these trails may be due to people who believe in some and reject the rest.
As stated above this could also be well understood through the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in which he said when his umma involved in evil things then trials would be imposed on them (see below for details of this hadith) as a result this seems to be the era of trials on Muslim world as corruption, bribery, dishonesty and lying are becoming common these days.
Besides, immodesty, indecency (i.e. open references to sexual matters and exposure of parts of the body that are supposed to be covered becoming a trend), films and TV’s presenting women as sex object in short & semi nude dressing and unfortunately present Muslims don’t mind to watch them, which is against Quran 24:30..
As mentioned above a clear declaration of God that He would never change the present condition (i.e. problems) of Muslims unless they had given-up all the un-Islamic living style (i.e. to stop all the disobedience)!
