more powerful and developed if Allah

Fraction of atheists and agnostics in different countries.
The values for China, Cuba, and North Korea must be viewed with skepticism as comparatively little data
is available in these countries.
The First Point
Muslims made progress just until a century ago.
It is the first proof of this fact that the Era of
Bliss (the time of the Prophet) was an age of
faith, morals, virtues, justice and peace.
After that, the Andalusia became such a pioneer
in knowledge to the Europe, and
The Seljuk and the Ottoman Empires rose to
such great peaks in knowledge and arts that it
is impossible to conceal these with such claims.
Here, we need
to differentiate between the terms
Islam and Muslim.
It is the Muslims who both develop and
go back.
Islam is whatever it is.
“This day I have perfected for
you your Religion (with all its
rules, commandments and
universality), completed My
favor upon you, and have been
pleased to assign for you
Islam as religion.”
(The Qur'an, Al-Ma'idah Surah, 5:3)
Then the answer to this question
should be searched for:
When were we good followers of
Islam?
When we built great civilizations or
when we moved backwards?

The Second Point
All attributes of all Muslims are not
always Muslim.
&
Similarly, not all the attributes of all
infidels have to be infidel
The Second Point
So too, all the attributes of all sinners
do not always have to sinful and have
arisen from their sinfulness.
This means an infidel’s Muslim
attribute prevails over a Muslim’s
unlawful attribute.
Indirectly,
the infidel prevails over him.
The Second Point
Those who attribute our unfavorable situations
to Islam are obliged to leave Muslims aside.
They have to deal with Islam; saying “So and so
principles of the Qur'an and so and so hadiths
of the Prophet are against development.”, they,
as a result of their claim, are bound to try to
bring evidence.
For instance, they should prove that prohibiting
lying, wrongdoing and oppression, alcohol,
gambling, adultery and fornication,
manipulation, interest, backbiting, racism and in
short prohibiting all evils are against progress.

Let us give an example from commerce:
Such qualities as knowledge, honesty,
hardworking, being planned and principled affect
the result of commerce directly.
If a non-Muslim possesses these qualities
and a Muslim not, it is just natural that this
non-Muslim will be richer than the Muslim.
Here, the unbeliever did not defeat the
believer; but the Muslim qualities defeated
the non-Muslim qualities.
And the victor is, in the realm of qualities, again
the truth.
The Third Point
Whether Muslim or Non-Muslim, whoever
fulfills the prerequisites of what s/he intends
to attain, and complies fully with its causes
and means, s/he will succeed.
Allah has 2 categories of rules.
1- Shari'ah (Islamic Law)
Principles of the Qur'an, which bring into
order the human deeds that depend on free
will like praying and fasting.
2. Shari'ah at-Takwiin (The Law of Creation)
Comprised of the rules ensure the order of
the universe and of the things inside it.
The laws of nature fall into this second
group like gravity, electricity etc.
Those who obey and those who rebel against
the decrees of the Qur'an will receive their
reward and their punishment generally in the
Hereafter.
Those who comply with the law of creation and
those who do not will receive their result
generally in this world. Accordingly, a believer
who does not comply with the law of creation
suffers its punishment with lack of success and
with misery in this world.
A Non-Muslim who follows these creation
laws succeeds because s/he acted
accordance with the Divine will in this world,
even if s/he doesn't realize.
It may also happen that we may not succeed
even though we have fulfilled all conditions.
Here, we should search for a mystery of
mercy and wisdom of the Divine
Determining.
