A nation is a group living in a region that has ethnic, linguistic and historical unity and is united under a system. A nation is a reference to a state, region, country or its inhabitants, i.e. a nation is a proof that there is a place where people live according to their history and culture.
The rise of previous nations: There is a famous Persian saying that "Every rise is a fall and every fall is a rise". According to the same philosophy, the rise and fall of nations and civilizations is also a natural process in which many causes and factors work in each period. Human history is full of innumerable examples of the rise and fall of nations, for example, Bani Israel was an honorable and reliable nation of the world, which was blessed with abundant rewards from God, but when they became self-centered and religiously and morally bankrupt and When she was convicted of rebellion against the laws and limits of God, she was defeated. The Holy Quran has clearly described the history of Bani Israel and the rise and fall of other nations, which are still a lesson for the nations of the world today. In the same way, the Roman Empire, despite having existed for almost a thousand years, eventually fell due to many social and economic reasons. Also, there is a long list of nations that have tasted decline after their rise due to their misdeeds and weaknesses.
Undoubtedly, the rise and fall of nations and civilizations, evolution and decline, and social changes have been a serious topic of discussion by different Muslims and non-Muslims, scholars and philosophers in every era of human history. Allama Abd al-Rahman Ibn Khaldoun writes: "Just as a person first goes through childhood, then youth and old age, so nations also go through the same ups and downs. Just as death is a condition for life, in the same way nations must rise and fall." (The case of Ibn Khaldun). Further, Ibn Khaldun writes that: "People's prosperity or distress is the main reason for the rise and fall of nations." According to Ibn Khaldun, not only economic change but morals, institutions, psychological pressures, politics, social and geographical factors change the course of history or cause its decline.

Malpractice, wickedness and disobedience are common components: When wickedness, wickedness and injustice come collectively in a nation, destruction and destruction become its destiny. When we look at the evolution of human life, we see its direction towards collectivism and when they go against nature, forget the law of nature, disobey and disobey, turn away from the principles set by God Almighty and deviate. If they do, they will be caught by God Almighty. If the nations commit bad deeds collectively, it will be punished in the world. In this context, the destruction of various nations has been mentioned in the Holy Quran. In which these evils were found. It is mentioned in the following few verses. (1) "Have they not seen how many nations We destroyed before them, moreover, and after them We raised other nations (Surah Al-An'am: 7). (2) "And indeed, how many generations of people did We destroy before you when they did wrong, although their messengers came to them with clear signs, and they were not believers." . In the same way We reward the guilty nation" (Surat Yunus: 14).
It is proved from the study of the Holy Quran that nature does not differentiate between nations in the application of the principles of rise and fall of nations and destruction and destruction. The rules and principles that are for Jews and Christians are the same for the Muslim Ummah. The rules that are for the people of disbelief are the same for the people of faith. The principles of the Qur'an are irrevocable and no change is possible in them.
Rise and Fall of Muslim Nations: The Nation of Islam has a glorious past and a unique history because the source of the commitment and prosperity of the Muslims is the Book of Guidance and the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him). If Islamic history is studied, it is found that a period has passed for Muslims when they were at the peak in terms of knowledge and intellectual, literary and scientific, social and moral and civilizational and cultural. Rashidah Caliphate, Abbasid Caliphate, Andalusian Sultanate, Seljukian Sultanate and Ottoman Empire (which changed to Ottoman Caliphate after the conquest of Hejaz in 1517). There are such amazing examples of the rise of Muslims that when Muslims were leading the world in the fields of knowledge and wisdom, art, fine arts, inventions, governance and society, constitution-making, democracy, state management and conquests, and these Muslims There was a period of renaissance and splendor but gradually the Muslims began to decline. The formal decline of Muslims began in the 11th century Hijri, which had many causes and reasons. In modern history, the Mughal Empire was the last link in the rise and glory of the Muslims in the subcontinent, which lasted for a long time but eventually declined. According to the researchers, weak political and defense planning, neglecting to patronize science and inventions, non-observance of moral values, dishonesty, laziness, abandonment of duty, unfair distribution of income and wealth to a large extent, contradictions in the Muslim Ummah. And unnecessary differences are the main reasons for the downfall of the Muslim Ummah. Apart from this, distance from Quranic teachings are also signs of decline of Muslims.

57 Countries, many foreign exchange, many mineral resources, many human resources, despite having the best air and naval forces, today the Muslim Ummah as a whole is suffering from decline and degradation due to its glorious past and the neglect of the teachings and golden principles of Islam. There is alienation. That is why other nations are dominant over Muslims politically, economically and economically. Muslims have been a major power in the world for more or less a thousand years. No nation could compete with him in knowledge and wisdom, strategy and politics and wealth and magnificence. He was ruling the whole world. This kingdom was given to them by God and God has taken it away from them. In the Holy Qur'an, the Almighty says: "(O Habib, peace be upon him!) Say: O Allah, the owner of the kingdom! You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take it away from whom You will" (Al-Imran: 26).
How many great empires have passed, which no one could have imagined in their time that they too would ever perish, but the tremendous power and power of Allah, Malik-ul-Mulk, appeared in such a way that today their names and signs have been erased. Alexander the Great of Greece, Nimrod of Iraq, Kisra and Shirvan of Iran, Dahhak, Farid, Jamshid, Pharaoh of Egypt, Genghis of the Mongol race and Halaku Khan, the great and famous rulers are now left only in stories and the name of the Lord of the worlds remains. And the government remains and that is the survival. If Muslims are suffering from this punishment, then it is an unconstitutional matter and not the conspiracy of others, as our religious and political leaders generally say. Behind him is the law of Allah
Rejecting the Qur'an and Sunnah: The main reason for the failure and downfall of Muslims in this material world is that Muslims were made possessors of the Divine Book. It is not just a book, it is the scale of Allah which has been revealed so that all the right and wrong in the matter of religion can be judged by weighing it. Muslims should present all their differences before him and whatever decision is issued by his court, accept it unquestioningly. It should be the center of their knowledge and practice. Let this be the reference in all matters of faith and belief, religion and Shariah, every research, every opinion and every point of view should always be kept subject to it.
Advocating the efforts of the Ummah to reform: To abandon the commandment of al-Moruf and Nahi an-ul-Munkar is no less than a worst tragedy for the Muslim Ummah because it is a fundamental goal. For the survival and well-being of the Muslim Ummah, there is a strong need to work for it at all levels. Due to this, we are seeing the destruction and destruction of our society, that our social system is sinking in the mire of problems and difficulties. This is also an important reason for the decline of the Islamic nation. To fulfill this duty, the Companions spread all over the world and they spent their whole lives in enjoining the good and not the evil, but alas, today we left this duty too. Therefore, humiliation and humiliation became our destiny.

57 ممالک،

Detachment from the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallaahu alayhi wasallam: We are leaving the teachings of the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam for our well-being at every level. The situation is so terrible that the mosques and monasteries are also losing this blessing. In the practical field, the pure ways of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) are becoming a tragic chapter. By making him our leader and concern for personal reform and unity in collective affairs, will become a part of our disposition, from that day the process called Da'wat will begin in real sense and will be on the same standard as it should be. Otherwise, it is difficult to fulfill the invitation from Muslims like us.
Abundance of Moral Offenses: Muslims are grossly negligent in their moral training. This is the result of lying, dishonesty, embezzlement, treachery, theft, usurpation, adulteration, usury, lack of measure, slander, breach of promise, preoccupation with inferior sciences, blasphemy and slander of each other, graves. Worship, polytheism, immoral entertainment and other such crimes are so common in their societies that it is surprising. These were the crimes of the children of Israel, because of which the prophets of Allah cursed them and they were forever removed from the mercy of Allah. Muslims have also reached this extent
