Political & Economic strengths of nations influence more the weaker nations

It lies in human nature that nations and civilizations which are politically and economically more virile exert a strong fascination on the weaker or less active communities, and influence them in the intellectual and social spheres without being influenced themselves. Such is the situation today with regard to the relations between the Western and the Muslim worlds.

Islam at the Crossroads by Muhammad Asad

Cultural buying and Selling and the muslims contribution

This idea of "buying" and "selling" in the cultural sense, and of the negative role of the present-day Muslim world in this respect, was later taken up and further developed by that eminent Algerian writer, the late Malik bin Nabi , who stressed the fact -first pointed out in this book -that, having lost their one-time creativity, the Muslims have not only become utterly dependent on Western goods but have also become mere "buyers" of Western technology and organizational methods as well as of Western social and political concepts, without becoming "sellers", i.e., without transmitting any positive impulses of their own to the West in return.

Religious beliefs are communicated to man by his cultural environment

Religious belief and unbelief are very rarely a matter of argument alone. In some cases the one or the other is gained by way of intuition or, let us say, insight; but mostly it is communicated to man by his cultural environment. Think of a child who from his earliest days is systematically trained to hear perfectly rendered musical sounds. His ear grows accustomed to discern tone, rhythm and harmony; and in his later age he will be able, if not to produce and to render, at least to understand the most difficult music. But a child who during the whole of its early life never heard anything resembling music would afterwards find it hard to appreciate even its elements. It is the same with religious associations. As there possibly are some individuals to whom nature has completely denied an "ear" for music, so -possibly but not probably -there are individuals who are completely "deaf" to the voice of religion. But for the overwhelming number of normal human beings the alternative between religious belief and unbelief is decided by the atmosphere in which they are brought up. Therefore the Prophet said: "Every child is born in original purity, and it is but his parents who make him a 'Jew', a 'Christian' or a 'Zoroastrian'" (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Western Education of Muslim youth by Muhammad Asad

Western education of Muslim youth is bound to undermine their will to believe in the message of the Prophet, their will to regard themselves as representatives of the religiously-motivated civilization of Islam. There can be no doubt whatever that religious belief is rapidly losing ground among our "intelligentsia" who have absorbed Western values.

The explanation of this estrangement is not that the Western science with which they have been fed has furnished any reasonable argument against the truth of our religious teachings, but that the intellectual atmosphere of modern Western society is so intensely anti-religious that it imposes itself as a dead weight upon the religious potentialities of the young Muslim generation.

Some of the questions in Road to Mecca by Muhammad Asad

'how has it come about that уоu Muslims have lost your self confidence -that self-сопidеnсе which опсе enabled you to spread your faith, in less than а hundred years, from Arabia westward as far as the Atlantic and eastward deep into China and now surrender yourselves so easily, so weakly, to the thoughts and customs of the West '? Why can't you, whose fогеfathers illumined the world with science and art at а time when Europe lay in deep barbarism and ignorance, summon forth the courage to go back to your own progressive, radiant faith? How is it that Ataturk, that petty masquerader who denies all value to Islam, has become to уои Muslims а symbol of' "Muslim revival" ?'
