However...

However, the studies, statistics and analyses, conducted in this field, point to the opposite; the decline of this European culture and its imminent collapse, while Islam shows all the signs of victory, even thought, it might take a long time. This is the norm prescribed by Allah to which the Qur'an alludes when discussing the Jahiliyya civilization. The verses impart to us the lessons of the dynamics of history and civilizations.

Allah declares: "…but when came unto them a warner it increased not in them but their aversion. (In) priding in the earth, and planning evil; and the evil plans (of theirs) shall beset not but the devisers themselves; then wait they for aught save the course of the people gone before? For never shall you find any change in the course of Allah; and never shall you find in the course of Allah any alterna-tion.

Have they travelled not in the earth and seen was the end of those before them though they were stronger than them in strength? And Allah is not such to frustrate Him aught in the heavens or in the eath; Verily He is the All-Knowing, All-Powerful." Holy Qur'an (Fatir 35: 42-44) "But when He deliveres them, behold! they rebel in the earth unjustly; O mankind!

your rebellion is against your own selves, a provision for the life of (only) this world, then unto Us shall be your return, then will We inform you of what you were doing." Holy Qur'an (Yunus 10: 23) If these Qur'anic statements, through scientific analysis on the causes of the fall of civilizations, prove that material power, in the form of armies, wealth, riches and industrialization, cannot prevent civiliza-tions, nations and societies following the evil path of oppression, injustice, deviation, arrogance and anomal-ous behaviour from falling, then we can conclude that the fundamental causes of the destruction are ideological and ethical in nature.

The fact that the Qur'an explains these causes in its discussion on the histories and experiments of nations and that we are living witnesses, to the plunge of socialism, is enough to discern from the signs of ethical and behavioural breakdown a warning on the total collapse in spite of efforts for restoration and improvement.

Statistics released by special institutions and circles in Europe, America, Japan, China and other countries in the materialistic camp (modern Jahiliyya) express the presence of these signs.
