All civilizations rise and fall based on how they act as khalifah : caretakers of their God-given resources. When nations misuse their blessings, whether natural resources like oil, water, or precious gems, or weak human beings like women and children they inevitably attract the eyes of marauders.
If they treat their people with justice and according to the laws of Allah while maintaining fear and consciousness of Him, they remain strong and in charge. But once they slip into oppression and corruption, they become battlegrounds for hyenas hungry for their wealth, who incite traitors and impoverished and angry men to open the gates for invaders.
History offers countless examples. Wherever oppression takes root, weakness follows, and soon the marauders arrive breaking down the doors and walls of those nations.
From the divided tribes of the Native Americans to the Kashmiris weak and compromising in faith until calamity struck, and the Afghans corrupted by internal moral decay (Bacha Baazi) all weakened themselves from within through injustice and oppression.
The result is always the same: when people become oppressors, Allah sends oppressors to rule over them.
Thus History repeats itself untill man understands it will go on!
Yes. An undeniable, profoundly resonant truth, elegantly stated. The principle that stewardship is the bedrock of civilization’s endurance is one that echoes through the ages.
You articulate with clarity the immutable law that internal justice and moral fortitude are a nation's ultimate safeguard. When a society upholds its sacred trust, it builds walls stronger than any stone. Conversely, the corruption from within inevitably invites the storm from without. History's pages are indeed filled with this sobering lesson, reminding us that the rise and fall of empires is never merely a matter of external force, but a consequence of internal condition.
Yours is a powerful and necessary reminder for all who reflect on the tides of history. Thank you for sharing this perspective.
The honor is entirely mine. To have a reader who approaches these page with such a generous spirit is the greatest reward. The feelings are, most profoundly, mutual.
Salaams!
