The Basis of Rectification and Corruption


ومن تدبر أحوال العالم، وجد كل صلاح في الأرض، فسببه توحيد الله و عبادته، و طاعة رسوله صلى الله عليه و سلم وكل شر في العالم و فتنة و بلاء و قَحط و تسليط عدو و غير ذلك، فسببه مخالفة الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم و الدعوة إلى غير الله و من تدبر هذا حق التدبر، وجد هذا الأمر كذلك في خاصة نفسه، و في غيره عمومًا و خصوصًا ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله

Ibn Taymiyyah (raimahullāh) said: “And whoever reflected upon the conditions of the world will find that the cause of all rectitude upon the Earth is the Tawīd of Allāh and His worship, and obedience to His Messenger (allallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam). And [that] the cause of every evil in the world, and (every) trial, tribulation, famine, and overempowerment by an enemy and other than that is opposing the Messenger  (allallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam) and calling to other than Allāh. And whoever reflected upon this as it truly should be reflected upon will find this affair (reality) manifesting deeply in himself, and in others besides him in general and specific (ways), and there is no power nor might save that of Allāh.” (Majmu’ al-Fatāwā 15/25)
