In the contemporary era, mankind in general and Muslims in particular are suffering from internal and external unrest. The Muslim countries are suffering from various problems, among which the biggest problem is peace and its establishment like Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Palestine, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistan etc. Muslim leaders also try to resolve the cause of individual and collective decline and unrest of Muslims, but those efforts are not fruitful so far. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to look at the reasons for the downfall of Muslims and its remedy in the light of the biography of the Prophet (PBUH).
Muslims believe that the religion brought by the Prophet (PBUH) will remain applicable and effective for human societies till the doomsday and there is the valuable guidance for human race in the biography of the Prophet ﷺ to transform the contemporary Muslim Ummah for a peaceful co-existence. Now there is the dire need to review the contemporary needs. This is also supported by the saying of Imam Malik that the decline of this Ummah will be overcomes by the same method as the society in Makkah was reformed.
