Adnan Rashid – Why Civilisations Rise and Fall

			any king,
		

			any government that indulges in injustice will collapse?
		

			It will fall. It will not last as what happened to all the civilizations that came before us. I will
still briefly touch upon the initial topic, fall of civilizations and link it directly to our
current situation in Palestine.
		

			Why do civilizations rise and why do they fall? is a very important question all of us we have to
understand
		

			what a civilization is, and how do we how they arise? How did they come about in the first place?
		

			An American historian,
		

			he described a civilization as follows. His name is Wil Durant. He wrote a history of civilizations
in 10 volumes. On the first page of the first volume of his book, our oriental heritage. He states,
a civilization consists of four elements,
		

			economic provisions, political stability, pursuit of knowledge, and arts, and moral traditions. And
all of these four elements rests upon one pillar,
		

			one pillar, and that pillar is sense of security and justice, you remove justice,
		

			and by consequent bye, bye bye consequence remove sense of security, former society, these four
elements will collapse, a civilization will collapse. So in other words, he's saying that our
civilization can come about by a collection of these four elements,
		

			political stability, economic provisions, pursuit of knowledge and arts and moral traditions.
		

			And the only way these four elements that make a civilization will survive, and last is true
justice.
		

			And justice will bring about peace.
		

			Without peace,
		

			you cannot have progress. So going backwards, no progress.
		

			Without peace, no peace, without justice, without justice, no civilization.
		

			Period. So when a civilization comes about,
		

			and it starts to avoid justice,
		

			and then gives way to chaos,
		

			crime, corruption, injustice, that civilization will collapse. So the glad tidings I want to give
you today is that any unjust power
		

			any entity that indulges in injustice, any country?
		

			Any military, any dynasty, any king, any government that indulges in injustice will collapse?
		

			It will fall. It will not last as what happened to all the civilizations that came before us.
		

			This is why Allah subhanaw taala states in the Quran. Our world we live in a Chicago regime is hula
Rouhani Rahim.
		

			See rueful ARB fan guru que la que ver con el capitan boca de bien, go in the land and see those who
came before you.
		

			As they denied
		

			the truth that denied Allah denying Allah is denying justice, period. Because Allah subhanaw taala
he makes it a he makes it a point it makes it a point of our faith Deedle Islam that you must do
justice in Surah Nisa, verse 135. And Surah toma ADA verse eight, Allah subhanaw taala in these both
verses tells us do justice even if it goes against you. Even if you dislike a people, you must do
justice because that is the recipe for success. That is closer to Toccoa. That is closer to knowing
Allah being close to Allah being conscience of Allah.
		

			Justice
		

			and the reason the Islamic civilization
		

			came to prominence and rose
		

			to power it exercised for over 1000 years because it was because of justice.
		

			It was because of justice. That the more
		

			slim civilization became a powerhouse. The best scholars the best points, the best philosophers, the
best thinkers, the best theologians, the best Quran the best, everything.
		

			But born
		

			in Muslim territories,
		

			and this continued for nearly 1000 years because of justice.
		

			So Quran promises justice, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam delivers that justice not only to
Muslims, but even non Muslims,
		

			the Jews and the Christians. They lived in prosperity
		

			throughout the Muslim civilization, stretching from China to Spain, and then to South Asia,
currently Pakistan within 100 years of the Prophet sallallahu sallam,
		

			the Muslims had taken land between China to Spain, the largest stretch of land ever ruled by one
group of people. And this was clearly directly foretold by Allah in Surah Surah Noor, verse 55 Out
of the we live in a ship on the regime, what are the hola hola de nom income. We're amid a solid hot
layer struggling for normal Earth, commerce baklava Latina men company him. It is a promise of Allah
to those who believe among you do right his deed that Allah will give you succession in the land.
Allah will make you rulers of the land, so long as you have these characteristics. It will be an
outcome of your characters. Your characters have to be right, yes, you have to be believers in
		

			Allah. You believe in Allah and do write his deeds do justice, do justice, Allah will give you the
land. Now reverse that. reverse that. You leave justice. And you start to disbelieve in Allah, all
of that will be taken away from you. All of that will be taken away from you
