■ When Does a Society Lose Its Soul?

You know, when religion becomes the driving force behind a society’s values, when it shapes how people think, live, and treat one another, then the soul of humanity stays alive and nourished.

A person keeps getting spiritual food without even realizing — every good deed, every kind word, every act of honesty becomes a source of inner strength and peace.

Life feels lighter. The heart feels connected to Allah ﷻ. There’s a sweetness in simply existing, a contentment no luxury can buy.

But when religion’s hold becomes weak… when people start caring less and less about their faith… when the whole society gets swept away by the storms of materialism…then spirituality starts fading quietly from their lives.

It slips away like sand from between the fingers.

And what happens next?

The clear difference between right and wrong, good and evil, halal and haram — it all gets washed away.

People can no longer tell what pleases Allah ﷻ and what displeases Him.

They live only for their desires, not for their Lord.

And honestly, look around — today, humanity is standing right at that dangerous crossroads.

Everywhere you look — individuals, nations, the global community — materialism has stolen away our sense of good and evil.

The modern, so-called advanced Western world, despite all its shiny scientific achievements, has paid a heavy price:

They’ve lost their morals.
They’ve lost their way.

They have all the technology, all the inventions, all the comforts — yet spiritually, they have collapsed.

Today’s “educated,” “civilized” man — with his degrees and his gadgets — has fallen to a level of moral decay even lower than animals.
اعوذ باللہ
اللہ اللہ استغفر اللہ

Imagine that!

Despite drowning in luxuries, despite living in comfort and abundance, people are restless.

They are anxious.
They are mentally exhausted.
Their souls are starving.
Their hearts are empty.
Their lives are hollow.

This is the condition of Europe and the West.
And now, after reaching the peak of evil and confusion, many of them have started to wake up.

They are realizing that no matter how much they own, their hearts are still not at peace.

Many are now looking towards spirituality — drawn by its light, attracted by its Islamic purity.

They are reading the books of the great Sufi masters, searching for the lost treasure of spirituality.

They are tasting the beauty of Islam with fresh, eager hearts.

But here’s the real heartbreak, my dear brothers, my dear sisters — While people of the West are waking up and turning towards Islam, we Muslims are running in the opposite direction!

We are copying the very same broken civilization that has ruined them.

We are hugging their culture even tighter than they do themselves.

The things that destroyed their societies – Faithlessness, dishonesty, selling one’s soul for money and power, and, worse of all, moral corruption — have now taken strong, deep roots in Muslim societies too.

Our homes, our communities, our governments — all infected.

This is why today Muslims, from individuals to entire nations, are drowning in hatred, laziness, hopelessness, and defeat.

This is why we see Muslims fighting each other, distrusting each other, feeling paralyzed and purposeless.

The Ummah that was chosen by Allah ﷻ to guide the world is now lost, wandering without direction.
We were sent to be the leaders of truth and justice, but now we can barely stand ourselves.

We are living lives empty of any real purpose, just surviving day to day, with no mission, no higher goal, no vision.

It’s painful.
It’s heartbreaking.
And it’s real.

These are the conditions we are witnessing today.

And because of this, it has become more important than ever that our religious scholars, our thinkers, our da’wah carriers — those who have been given the huge responsibility of guiding the people — must wake up.

They must feel the heavy burden Allah ﷻ has placed on their shoulders.

They must realize that their mission is not just to preach words, but to breathe life back into dead hearts.

Not just to lecture, but to inspire.
Not just to judge, but to heal.

Because if they don’t… who will?

If they don’t rise up with sincerity, tears, and sacrifice, then this Ummah will only sink deeper into the pit.

May Allah ﷻ open our eyes before it’s too late.

May He ﷻ return us to the real Islam — the Islam of mercy, of justice, of humility, and of true love for Allah ﷻ and His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
