Somebody tell me how we think West is not falling? Come on, West's morally bankrupt, they have only accepted that low level life style and called it modern living. We desire that lowly stature for ourselves and allow ourselves to be decieved by that.
Their fore-fathers made sacrifice and upheld their morals. European Renisance overturned their state of affairs of dark ages. They rediscovered basics of their original greek / roman teachings ("Christianity"), its morals - courage, sacrifice, learning and teaching, hard work, honesty, and UNITY...
We are doing just the opposite. We reaped the fruit of our fore-fathers' hard work and establishment as was founded by our beloved Prophet (SAW).
Before they rediscovered their glory, they followed the trail of our fore-fathers because they were successful. They realized their shortfalls in morality and humanity when they found the key of Muslims success and glory for almost 10 centuries.
Selfishness alone causes fall of nations. It stems and breeds and grows stronger in grounds of hearts where seeds of belief diminish. When trust, reliance, dependence... upon Allah shifts to self or friends, partners, allies... when ones effort only to serve personal gain, benefit, earning... and heartless to others needs, shortcoming, poverty... -- Motivation to do something shifts from reward from Allah to reward from self.
West's heading that way also, worst than that, we follow them blindly.
