Our decline

70 years after the author wrote it, this book is still relevant. The Islamic character as it exists today has changed relatively little since Shakib's time. Unjust and selfish Muslim leadership, degenerated ulama with selfish aims of protecting their own lives instead of correcting the errors of their kings and heads, the ultra moderns andthe ultra-conservatives. The Muslim world still awaits redemption at all levels, ruler and ruled, young and old, rich and poor.
