A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08
Among the manifestations of the decline of Western civilization.
0:13
Anyone who observes the West today clearly notices.
0:17
The spread of phenomena that signal the imminent collapse of this civilization.
0:23
For it has gathered within itself what was scattered among the perished nations of the past.
0:28
Including disbelief, injustice, the inversion of natural disposition (fitrah), and the collapse of virtuous morals.
0:34
Among the most significant of these manifestations, firstly, is the spread of dayyuth (lack of protective jealousy).
0:40
Where the Western man feels no jealousy when seeing strange men look at his wife while she is nearly naked.
0:48
Likewise, the spread of homosexuality in Western society, as we have previously mentioned.
0:54
Secondly, the emergence of the far-right, which advocates for fanaticism and racism.
1:01
And the persistence of white American racism against Black people.
1:06
As we witness in the way American police treat them.
1:10
Thirdly, the disintegration of the family unit and the aversion to having children.
1:16
Which leads to the aging of the West and the decline of its youthful elements.
1:23
Fourthly, the prevalence and spread of suicide, to the extent that guidebooks, manuals, clinics, and associations have emerged for it.
1:34
This is a matter that spreads among those with sensitive temperaments and thinkers among them.
1:40
Due to the confusion they see in the lives of their societies and their distance from values and constants.
1:47
And due to the abundance of crises in various fields.
1:51
Fifthly, the spread of economic crisis and its inflation.
1:56
For America holds the largest debt in world history.
2:01
Even though it is the greatest economic power in the world.
2:05
And it contains millions of poor and homeless people.
2:08
This is one of the results of abhorrent usury.
2:12
As Allah the Exalted said: ﴾Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities﴿.
2:17
For the wealth of America has been encompassed [by destruction], just as the fruit of the owner of the two gardens was encompassed.
2:23
Who thought that they would never perish.
2:27
And this wealth will inevitably perish, just as the two gardens perished.
2:32
The United Nations conducted a survey on the nations with the highest income.
2:38
And those that are the most miserable.
2:40
The surprising result was.
2:43
That the wealthiest nations are the most miserable.
2:48
Furthermore, many books have appeared in the West warning of the fall of its civilization.
2:54
Such as the book *The Death of the West*.
2:57
By its author, Patrick Buchanan.
3:00
And *One Nation of Two Peoples: Black and White*.
3:04
By its author, Andrew Hacker.
3:07
And *Not for Sale at Any Price*.
3:10
By its author, Cyrus Beroukhim.
3:12
In which he mentioned the expected economic collapse of America.
3:17
And *The Suicide of the West* by authors Richard Koch and Chris Smith.
