muslims led the world in science..........so what

it lead to their demise, they got so caught up in the worldly stuff and what did it do for them? they built large masjids, and lost andalusia

we are not here to make large worldly accomplishments, let the kuffar do that, this world is their jannah

we are here to worship Allah, be good people, etc, whether we live in huts or palaces

its just that palaces distract us from the reality of this world (ie, death and the last day)

so the best muslims were not the later generations of scientists, but the best muslims were those who fought and strove in the cause of Allah

later generations stopped the fight and became philosophers.......big deal

how about umar warning his later generations that they did not taste kufr, so they would not appreciate iman?

the people before us, pharaoh, ad, thamud, got caught up in their worldly accomplishments and it distracted them from their Lord

why are you encouraging muslims to follow them into another lizard hole?
