Keberkesanan Islam pada zaman pemerintahan salahuddin ayyubi

Quotes from salahuddin ayubi

I was amazed to find a speech by Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi to his divided ummah of the past, the most striking and fascinating thing is that what plagued the ummah back then is exactly how are muslim community is today, if a man were to read this to our muslim community today, they would think it was written for them.

A speech by Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi[R.a]:

We hope in Allah Most High, to whom be Praise. Who leads the hearts
of Muslims to calm what torments them and ruins their prosperity.


Where is the sense of honor of the Muslims?


The pride of the Believers?


The zeal of the Faithful?


We shall never cease to be amazed at how the disbelievers for their
part have shown trusts, and it is the Muslims who have been lacking in
zeal.


Not one of them has responded to the call.


Not one intervenes to straighten what is distorted; but observe how far the Franks have gone.


What unity they have achieved.


What aims they pursue.


What help they have given.


What sums of money they have borrowed and spent.


What wealth they have collected and distributed and divided amongst them.


There is not a king left in their lands or islands, not a lord or a rich man who has not competed with his neighbors to
produce more support and rival his peers in strenuous military efforts.


In defense of their religion they consider it a small thing to spend life and soul; and they have kept their infidel brothers supplied with arms and champions of war; and all they have done and all their generosity has been done purely out of zeal for him they worship in jealous defense of their faith.


The Muslims on the other hand are weakened and demoralized; they have become negligent and lazy, the victims of unproductive stupefaction and completely lacking in enthusiasm.


If, Allah forbid, Islam should draw reign, obscure her splendor, blunt her sword there would be no one, east or west, far or near who would blaze the zeal for Allah's religion, or choose to come to the aid of Truth against Falsehood.


This is the moment to cast off laziness, to summon from far and near all those men who have blood in their veins; but we are confident [He speaks about himself and the small party of believers who began with him and then became a large party]; but we are confident thanks to Allah- alhamdulillah- in the help that will come from him and entrust ourselves to him in sincerity of purpose and deepest devotion.
