Why is the Arab people incapable of achieving its numerous and effective dreams despite possessing wealth and strong will?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the Arabs wish to improve their condition, they must return to their religion, which is the source of their glory and strength. For Allah's sunnah (way) does not change until people change what is within themselves. The early Muslims triumphed through Islam, and they will not triumph in the future except by returning to it. Before Islam, the Arabs were exploited, fragmented, and warring amongst themselves. When Islam came, it brought them out of darkness into light, and they became masters of the world. But when they became negligent in their religion, enemies were given power over them. The latter part of this Ummah will not be set right except by that which set right its first part. If we change what is within ourselves, then Allah will change our condition.
