A Brief Islamic History

1: History is a witness against us, and that we are a nation honored by Allah through Islam. When our circumstances changed, and the goal of the Caliphate was abandoned, we lost our prestige, and Allah humiliated us.

2: Power and the love of influence are the scourges of souls, and because of them, rulers were killed one after another, leading to various vulnerabilities that allowed the European advance to continue repeatedly without tiring.

3: History repeats itself, but no one learns, and no one sees the causes of downfall and avoids them.

4: As a friend told me, and as I understood, there is no era that contains the word "absolute." There is no caliphate that is entirely good or entirely bad, except for the four caliphs after the death of the Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his family and companions.

5: History should be studied professionally, not with the absurdity that we used to study, which made us alienated and ambiguous, knowing nothing about the civilization of our Islam.

6: The catastrophe of the fall of Al-Andalus is humiliating and painful, but it is not the only one. We are currently living under the complete domination of the West, and there is peace – outwardly – because they are controlling – inwardly – most of the Arab-Islamic world, whether through ideas or the tyranny of their financial control and drowning it in debt.
