9th March 2015: “The ‘Dying Russian Nation’ Is Not Unique” (Source : Forbes)
Among elite pundits, it is received wisdom that Russia is a “dying nation.” Everyone knows that Russia, ruled by a bloody and incompetent gang of thieves, is in a demographic “death spiral” which will inevitably send it into the abyss. Furthermore, elite pundits “know” that the only way this decline can be arrested is if Russia embarks on a path of democratic, liberal reform. After all, everyone knows that the other post-Communist countries that embraced free markets, democracy, and the rule of law have fared much better.
Comment:
The rise and collapse of any nation is because of the ideology they hold. Russia embraced Communism as the ideology to rule and govern the country. Communism has collapsed and the only ideology still existing today are Islam and Democracy.
Western countries especially the U.S. promoting and enforcing democracy as the only rule of law for the world. At the same time, the “few” continue gaining benefit from the capitalist system sucking the blood from the poor. U.S will do whatever necessary to achieve the objective such as wars and putting puppets as the leaders in the countries and enforcing trade agreement etc.
Russia led by the post-communist elite are not going to use democracy to rule the country but taking the advantages of capitalist system to gain from it. Similar to what is happening in China where the communist party leaders still prop up communism to rule and control the country but gaining benefit as the venture capital or shareholders in the companies in China.
In history, Democracy has not been proven to make the world a just and fair place. Democracy can’t protect the right of people in Egypt for example who have selected a legitimate president. Democracy doesn’t exist from Syria to Myanmar, not able to save the life and protect the human being. The existence of the Capitalist system for decades was unable to solve the famine issue. The gaps between rich and poor is wider and the topics discussed every year in the world economic forum, such issue has no solution in capitalist system.
Islam is the ideology proven for more than 1400 years that had made the world a better place and people was lived in prosperity. This is the truth as what the Creator of humanity, Allah سبحانه وتعالى has mentioned in Al Quran through His Messenger Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم,
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.”
(Al-Anbiya 21:107)
The Creator who knows the human being and guaranteed the needs of human being is fulfilled like rizq. Muslims in their Aqeedah believe in Allah and Rasul must abide to the ideology of Islam.
Islam will again become the single ideology to rule the world by the establishment of Khilafah. Khilafah state will only rise up again by Muslims who understand and embrace Islam as a Deen, complete ideology covering the whole system of life.
Islam will never rule the world or be the highest if it is implemented coexisting with other an ideology, or partially implement or use the path of democracy. Muslims as the sleeping giant must be awakened by Islam, no other than that. The Ideology we hold is the divine rule from the Creator that will never cease and weaken like an ideology from humans, made by the disbelievers.
مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْلِيَاء كَمَثَلِ الْعَنكَبُوتِ اتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًا وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنكَبُوتِ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
“The example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.”
(Al-Ankaboot 29:41)
