27. Causes of Downfall

28. Downfall


The seeds of the downfall of the
Muslims were sown during the Golden
period.
With so much power, wealth and
influence, the Muslims started slowly
and gradually straying away from
Quran and Sunnah and the spirit of
Islam.
The Holy Prophet (s)
said:
“ By this Book, Allah
would exalt some
peoples and degrade
others.”

29. Leaving the Quran


The downfall of the Ummayyad caliphate started after the
death of Umar Bin Abdul Aziz.
His successor,Yazid Bin abdul Malik bin Marwan was the
first caliph who openly drank wine and took drugs and
indulged in singing and playing musical instruments.

30. Disunity



Muslims broke up into many sects.
Muslims were constantly fighting each other for
power and to claim caliphate.
More than one Caliphate came into existence
and they were constantly fighting each other for
power.

31. Love of Wealth and World



The Muslim rulers had become so greedy that instead
of being happy at the conversion of their people to
Islam, they were sad at losing the “jizyah”.
Caliph Hisham bin Abdul Malik forcefully tried to
collect the jizya from the Dhimmis who had converted
to Islam. He even dismissed and imprisoned his
governors and associates who were against this jizya
collection. He dealt very harshly and unjustly with the
new converts.
This led many new Muslims to turn apostate and
rebelled and they actually asked the Chinese leader to
attack the Muslims.

A few foolish and greedy rulers amongst the
Muslims used the power of the sword to
actually stop Islam from Spreading!

32. Love of Music

A number of musical instruments used in Western music are
believed to have been derived from Arabic musical instruments:
Modern Name

Balaban

33. Love of Poetry, Drama and Fiction






The most well known Arabic fiction ,The Book of
One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights),
was a compiled in the 10th century during the
golden age containing folk tales told by the
Persian Queen Scheherazade.
Various characters from this epic are famous
such as Aladdin, Sinbad and Ali Baba.
A famous Arabic poetry and Persian poetry on
romance Layla and Majnun, dates back to the
Umayyad era in the 7th century.
The first fictional Arabic novel Hayy ibn Yaqdhan
was written during the Golden Era. Its
translation later inspired Daniel Defoe to write
Robinson Crusoe.
The first example of a science fiction novel was
written by Ibn Al Nafis near the end of the
Golden Era..
[Islamic Golden Age,Wikipedia]

34. Downfall
The achievements of the Arabic speaking peoples between
the ninth and twelfth centuries are so great as to baffle
our understanding. The decadence of Islam and of
Arabic is almost as puzzling in its speed and
completeness as their phenomenal rise. Scholars will
forever try to explain it as they try to explain the
decadence and fall of Rome. Such questions are
exceedingly complex and it is impossible to answer
them in a simple way.

Middle East'
