Why Muslims Are Suffering Today: A Wake-Up Call to the Ummah

Shaykh Ali Elsayed reflects on the spiritual condition of the Ummah and the reason behind our current state of weakness. Drawing from the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Shaykh Ali highlights the concept of wahn—the love of this worldly life and hatred of death—as the root of our decline.

Through vivid examples from Hadith, stories of the Sahabah, and insights from scholars like Imam al-Ghazali, we are reminded of the worthlessness of dunyā compared to the eternal value of the ākhirah.

Recorded during the Jumu'ah Prayer at the Sayyidah Fatemah Islamic Centre, Milton, Canada – 13 June 2025 / 17 Dhu l-Hijjah 1446.
