    About this ebook

    This booklet actually was a historical speech delivered by Maulana Sayyed Abul A’la Maududi (R) at Darul Islam Pathankot in East Panjab on the 10th may 1947 before three month of Independence Partition of India. Besides the Muslims the audience was consisted of several Hindus and Shikhs. In this speech the Maulana clearly clarified the nature of Divine Law of the rise snd fall of nations. He surveyed the history of Muslim rule in India subcontinent and of their dismissal from the rule. He also surveyed the rule of British in India and their expulsion. In the speech the Maulana also pointed the elements causing deterioration and elements of reform. We think, our nation –makers will be benefited from this unique booklet.

    Sayyed Abul A‘la Maududi

    Abul Ala Maududi (25 September 1903 – 22 September 1979), was a South Asian scholar, philosopher, journalist, Islamist and Imam. He was one of the most influential Muslim scholars and imams of the 20th-century. His numerous works were written in Urdu, but then translated into English, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Burmese and many other languages. He strove not only to revive Islam as a mujaddid or "renewer" of the religion, but to propagate "true Islam", a remedy for the weakness from which Islam had suffered over the centuries. He believed politics was essential for Islam and necessary to institute sharia and preserve Islamic culture from what he saw as the evils of secularism, nationalism, and women's emancipation. He was the founder of the Jamaat-e-Islami, the largest Islamic organisation in Asia. He and his party are thought to have been the most important influences generating support for an Islamic state in Pakistan. They are thought to have helped inspire General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq to introduce "Sharization" to Pakistan, and to have been greatly strengthened by him after 10,000s of members and sympathizers were given jobs in the judiciary and civil service during his administration. Maududi was the first recipient of the Saudi Arabian King Faisal International Award for his service to Islam in 1979. After his death his Gayby Salat al-Janazah were prayed in all over the world, including in Mecca, making him the second person in the history whose prayer was observed in the holy Kaaba, preceding King Ashama ibn-Abjar.

    NATIONS RISE AND FALL - WHY ?

    Praise and Thanksgiving to the Lord

    Praise and thanksgiving to the Lord Who created us, blessed us with reason and the power of understanding; endowed us with the discretion to sift right from wrong; and sent the best of His devoted servants to instruct and guide us. Peace and blessings be on those pious servants of Allah who instilled humanity into the progeny of Adam, taught them the principles of civilized living, made them aware of the real aim of human life and gave them such rules and regulations by following which they can achieve peace in this world and salvation in the Hereafter.

    The Divine Law of the Rise and Fall of Nations

    Ladies and Gentlemen; Allah Who has created this world and spread out this earth and populated it with human beings, is not the Being Who acts rashly without design or purpose. He does not take a leap in the dark; He is not a whimsical Lord Who reigns over the kingdom without any planning will. He has permanent laws, firm regulations and fixed rules by which He governs the universe. As the sun, the moon, the earth, the air, water, trees and animals are subject to His Law, so are we human beings bound to His Law. As our birth and death, our childhood, youth and old age, our respiration, our digestion and circulation of blood and our sickness and health are controlled by the definite and indiscriminate laws of Allah, so in an exactly similar manner the ups and downs of our history, our rise and fall, our progress or decay, our personal prospects and the destiny of our nation or country are controlled by the same unavoidable and indiscriminate law of Allah. If it is not possible for a man to breathe through his eyes instead of his nose; if it is impossible for the heart to perform the functions of the stomach, then it is equally impossible that a nation by adopting the path which warrants decline according to the Divine Law, can rise to glory. If the reaction of fire upon all people is indiscriminately the same;
