Some of the reasons for the fall of nations and civilizations and the reality of the world today
0:15
The British historian Arnold Twinney, who died in 1975 AD, studied this study
0:24
He conducted an in-depth study of twenty-one civilizations, in which he mentioned what he saw as the reasons for their downfall
0:32
We mention some of them with modifications and additions
0:37
Firstly, there is no civilization without religion, and the temple is the important center of civilization
0:46
Nations and civilizations fall if they lose their faith, philosophy, and concepts
0:53
The contemporary West has claimed that its civilization is based on freedom and human rights
1:00
Today, many of them violate this, and extremism and racism are spreading in their countries
1:07
This is one of the factors in the demise of their civilization
1:12
Secondly, the spread of injustice and the lack of justice is a decisive factor in the fall of civilizations
1:21
This is an established divine law, as God Almighty said
1:26
And those towns We destroyed when they wronged, and We made a set time for their destruction
1:34
Ibn Taymiyyah was famous for saying that God establishes a just state even if it is infidel
1:42
He does not establish an unjust state, even if it is Muslim
1:47
Let every oppressor and tyrant announce the fall of his state and the demise of his kingdom
1:53
Whether it was in the West or in the East
1:56
Third, moral decline and the spread of sins and immoralities are a common factor in the fall of civilizations
2:06
God Almighty said, “And when we wanted to destroy a town, we commanded it to pass through it, but they disobeyed therein.”
2:14
So what she said was true, so we destroyed it completely
2:20
The Romans were known to have intercourse with animals, and their rule was removed
2:26
Today, homosexuality is widespread in the West, whether it is the result of the people of Lot among men
2:33
Or women being content with each other more than men in what is known as lesbianism
2:40
This is an indicator of the accelerated fall of their civilization and dominance
2:45
Fourth, it is clear from the previous two concepts that civilizations often fall from within themselves
2:54
Not because of the external enemy
2:58
Fifthly, luxury and prosperity do not indicate the strength and survival of civilization
3:05
Rather, it is true that luxury is the prelude to the collapse of any civilization
3:11
The scholar Ibn Khaldun had previously stated this in his famous introduction
3:17
And the disappearance of the civilization of the Muslim people of Andalusia due to luxury and abandonment of jihad for the sake of God
3:24
A good example of this
3:27
And God Almighty says
3:29
Did He not consider how many generations We had destroyed before them? We had established them in the land unless We had established them for you
3:38
And We sent the sky raining rain upon them and made rivers flow beneath them
3:45
So We destroyed them for their sins and created after them another generation
3:52
The verse shows that luxury and opulence cause an abundance of sins that lead to the collapse of civilization
4:03
6- Scientific and technical development that makes people arrogant
4:10
It makes him think that he controls the universe with his knowledge
4:14
Rather, it is a lure followed by disappearance
4:18
God Almighty said
4:20
It is only like the life of this world as if We sent it down from heaven
4:27
The plants of the earth, which people and livestock eat, were mixed with it
4:32
Even when the earth takes on its adornment and adornment
4:36
Its people thought they were capable of it
4:40
Our command came to it day or night, and We made it a harvest as if it had not sung the day before
4:48
Thus We detail the verses for a people who reflect
4:54
