There are basic elements and formations that bind nations to life. Every nation continues its existence on the civilization to which it is attached. In doing so, it enriches, diversifies, and adds meaning and depth.
 
The civilization of the Islamic nation is a great creation born of its own religion. The civilization of the prophets. Since the civilization of the prophets is a civilization of truth and has grown rich over time, it has come to this day and will continue from today to tomorrow.
 
To define or think of Islamic civilization as archaic, that is, as a dead civilization, is both self-alienation and self-denial. The civilization of truth is thought about, what has happened is evaluated. Whatever is missing will be fixed in time. Civilizations continue to exist with living and living people. Civilizations can also have a living soul or a dead soul. It is people who keep them alive and give them meaning. Civilization and human strengthen each other.
 
You are from Islamic civilization. The existence of Islamic civilization is both the support and strength of Muslims. According to themselves, there may be those who find Islam inadequate in the face of the problems of the age or think so. The confusion of the age is clouding people's minds. There are basic principles of Islam and they are for the benefit of humanity. People find peace in it. However, since the existence of humanity, the prophets have been in a struggle to be in their civilization or not. Their loyalty is inevitable, as are their deviations. One side of man is equipped with benevolent angels, and the other is in struggle with demons. While limiting himself on one side, a person can be in deviations on the other.
 
Civilizations are the basic path, direction and field of thought that gives power to people. The Islamic nation does not give up its civilization, nor can it pass, and the Christian nation does not give up its civilization. They have their own problems too. Since civilizations are religion-oriented, it is effective on them whether the elements that give them spirit are healthy or not.
 
The main feature of Islamic civilization is that they have a book. It is the greatest luck and advantage that the book was recorded during the life of our Beloved Lord. Muslims have only one divine book: the Qur'an.
 
Christians do not have a single book. The Bibles describe it as a fact. The most obvious feature is that there are differences between the Bibles. There are many Bibles.
 
The bindingness of a nation is to have these fundamental solid foundations. Muslims have such a chance.
 
On the other hand, the sunnah and hadiths of the Prophet have similar characteristics. Maybe it is not a single element like a book, but the fact that it confirms it and shows its livability makes it stronger.
 
Christianity faltered before the power of Islamic civilization. It saw its static, dullness and congestion, and took measures for this. Christians did not give up their religion and civilization, or because they did not pass, they tried to put it on a basis.
 
It is inevitable that people connected to civilizations will sometimes regress. Stagnations can occur with ups and downs. The thinker who will reactivate this, will lead, and who does not move away from his essence and spirit can find a new way out with his pioneers.
 
As there are those who do this, there may also be those who will recommend and dilute these movements of thought. In this world where humans and devils exist, anything can happen. Ambition and greed, such behaviors of those who want to take a place for themselves have existed in the past and will exist today and tomorrow.
 
As Muslims strengthen their belief that being alive is also a destiny, a way will definitely be found.
 
If a nation is to continue its existence, it must make more efforts with its commitment to the civilization of its own soul. Or they go back. If he is defeated, he will succumb himself.
