The question

Why have Muslims reached this level of backwardness and moral decay, along with a lack of faith and blind imitation of the West, abandoning the Quran and Sunnah, returning to the age of Jahiliyyah, and are they pleased with this humiliation, believing themselves to be civilized?

The answer

Muslims have reached their current state due to their deviation from Islam, the source of their honor and dignity. Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "We are a people whom Allah has honored with Islam, and no matter how much we seek honor in other than it, Allah will humiliate us."

Muslims must work and strive to change this reality, and not succumb to defeat and surrender, for Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. We should not belittle any effort; let every individual work in their field and begin with themselves, their home, and their surroundings, and victory will come, Allah willing.
