Very sad indeed. Some people would never blame practicing of immoral acts like drinking, not praying, less sincerity with ones duties and profession, watching immoral stuff, and other disobedience to Allah (swt) as a cause of down fall of muslims, but only find discussing and sincerely learning any issue in the light of hadiths as a cause of muslims downfall in maths and science.

The Question is: Few centuries back when muslims were good in maths and science, did they not discuss such minor matters in the light of sunnah hadith and the Quran. Some peoples words make me feel that if the Prophet (saw) came to them in “present age” they would listen less to his orders about minor details of daily life matters and listen more to Newton and Einstien, because their purpose of life gives more importance to science and technology than to moral values. How sad!

Did you know that the prophet (saw) used to mention and address every minor issue of life and how it should be done. Didn’t he mention minor details of how should one have fun, what should be the LIMITS ?!?!

It is so sad that when we fail to prosper in any field we easily blame it on religious matters which might be totally irrelevent.

The importance of anything is not decided by you and me, but by the amount of times anything is given importance in the Quran and Hadith. For example, the Quran mentions more than 700 times about namaz and a lot of times it emphasize on following the sunnah of the Prophet (saw) in “EVERYTHING” we do in life. It is even more sad news that some people try to define themselves the ways of “having fun” in life without looking at it from hadiths perspective as if they want to say," Let us put aside the hadiths and give our own fatwas regarding how should one have fun in life "

I am sure if these minor issues were not important in a muslim’s life than the Quran would have not emphasized on following the sunnah of the Prophet (saw) and the Prophet (saw) would have preferred adressing mathematics and science instead of adressing those issues of daily life.

I am not saying maths and science are not important, but blaming less development in science and maths on religious issues is not sane. IF it were so than Turkey would have been the most developed nation in the world, because they never discuss such issues at all.

Excellent…very well said:k:
