47. The Current Situation of the Islamic World

I swear to God, Who endowed me with
justice, that after me there will be a pe-
riod of gap among my people. At that
time, everyone will ask for possessions

without considering whether they are
halal [lawful], blood will shed, and
poems will be held as dear as the Qur’an.
(ad-Daylami)

In the past, the Islamic world built one of the greatest and most
glorious civilizations in history. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire
after the First World War had great impact on the Islamic world, for it
damaged Muslim unity. Right now, unresolved problems and dis-
agreements are pervasive in many parts of the Islamic world. This
aside, nearly all Muslim countries are far behind when it comes to any
type of progress associated with science, technology, and economic
development. The “period of gap” may refer to this deplorable situa-
tion.
We need to remember that, as in the past, it is very easy for the

Islamic world to establish a glorious civilization that once again will
set an example for the entire world with its moral excellence, peace,
security, and abundance. But this will not happen until Muslims once
again strive to live according to the morality of the Qur’an and the
Sunnah of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) and
to establish the Union of Islam that this morality envisages.
