Why are muslims backward?
-
Salam,
This community is more concerned with the afterlife rather than the present world (thanks to our mullahs). Unless they start channeling their positive energy into this world they will never change. Muslims don't follow the quran...that's a typical response I get which I believe is utter balderdash.
Someone said that the community is not united hence the downfall...I think disintegration should be the second name of this community...right after the demise of the Prophet, the companions were fighting amongst themselves for caliphate and then continued to kill each other in the battles of Siffin, Camel and Nahranwan. To top it all, these were fought among people who had seen and lived with the Prophet - Up, close and personal...
Changing needs with changing times - that's the adage the muslims have to adapt otherwise this situation of worse will further go to the worst of situations.

They forget that even being angry and unfriendly is negative towards the end. And being worldly is also the wrong track.
Salaam

moreover I think the lack of Technology or wealth do not define backwardness, Its the happiness/peace factor I will consider the most that tells if a community or individual is blessed with.
ok but the quran clearly states to maintain a strong military
so technology definitely plays a part in it, no arab muslim nation today can take on a single western nation
-
my idea is strong military/technology doesnt only mean a country is developed.
Ive already posted my idea why muslims are generally going backward. simply its because of idol worship, the same thing which Prophet and Quran rejected. their idols are the sticking only to hadeeths of Mohammed, rejecting many others, converted the meaning of Salat to something as a plain ritual instead of taking it as a procedure for asking his guidance, Some of them even took their imams/religious authority's words as final (partners) to God without any questions or scope for improvement.

I have been denying the fact that Muslims are behind other nations by trying to justify their condition using colonization as an excuse. Lately, I have come to think that something is wrong with muslim mind. I need a better understanding on the reasons of muslim backwardness.
Backward to what?
And what is forward?
And what/who is a reference point?
And, are you here just to post provocative and provoking questions, like many others, and then not participate or contribute to discussions and increasing knowledge, OR, are you trying to learn something in humility and modesty?

The user actually needs to study international politics and its influence on world economies in such and interdependent world. This has nothing to do with religion.

Honestly it is people like him and other Islamists for why many Muslims are backward. Remove them and Muslims will no longer be backward. Asking why Muslims are backward (as a way to call for change) and using a profile picture of a terrorist (that killed plenty of Muslims while keeping other Muslims primitive) is very ironic, don't you think?

Recently, I came to know from history of hadiths that their origin came as a mission to remain backward (Sticking to Prophet's time). Koofans considered modernism as a threat. Of course, there are many other reasons that accompanied it.
If you go by Quran its easy to open the mind to knowledge which gives birth to growth of intellect. But hadiths are now the reason for all the backwardness. They give uneducated people the authority to decide for others. Now that is a real threat to most Muslims trying to move forward. I don't believe moving forward is connected to only technology and military power. It has more to do with thinking for all. Some examples are
universal healthcare
sound justice system<-----even in "modern" UAE, raped women are whipped when they can't produce 4 witnesses
safe living standard
equal opportunities for all/ fight against discrimination<-----you can't deny that racism is far more common in Muslim countries (unfortunately)
equal access to education
shelter
brain use encouragement<-----this is the thing mainly absent in most Muslim countries. Sure some middle eastern countries are quick to accept new technology and development, but they are imported from the West and hand built by mostly nonMuslim Asians.
manner<-------- that one is challenging. that one brings in the most trouble for Muslim countries -
"Why are muslims backward?"
Maybe they are too afraid to smil(e) sum

dude most muslims are just jews who blow themselves up.
they haven't accepted a messenger since the time of muhammed and how many people accepted muhammed then?
he was chased out of his city, and force to live in a cave.... sounds like they all believed.
the sword spread islam and christianity escaping the sword spread the jewish traditions.
people are just running around like chickens with their heads chopped of searching for more corn then the next chicken.
lacking bravery and diplomacy you just have a bunch of sheep-ple.don't expect much of them read the quran ALLAH always destroys whole communities expect like one guy and his family and family only sometime.

It's hard for societies to advance when they've been bombed to smithereens for the worst part of a century.
