First of all I should thank you for raising such crucial questions. Whether we are really successful or not, but a solid comprehension regarding the matters which you have raised, is really a need of the day.

Well! Modern global civilization is organized in well-defined political units. Nearly all the political units are having diplomatic relations with one another. There are various International Organizations, which, though to just some extent, regulate the mutual relations of global communities. We are really living a much more civilized life on the global scale and we never had been so much civilized on such a vast scale. If the meaning if ‘civilization’ is to be taken as ‘organized social life’, then modern civilization is actually a success. Humans are living a much better and more comfortable life than ever before.

When we compare our political organizations to their past counter parts, I think the present ones are more organized. There has been a decline however in some other areas of social life where we are losing previous order.

Is present civilization a best civilization?

As I said if the meaning of ‘civilization’ is to be taken as ‘organized way of social life on a global scale’, then I think the present civilization can be considered to be good. But if the meaning of ‘civilization’ is to be taken as ‘best possible’ way of civilized life but may not be on a global scale, then I think no where in the present world there exists any such civilization. It really existed once but now it is found no where.
About Moral Values:

Past good values are dying fast and new and new bad values are flourishing on the global scale. ‘Might is right’ is the officially accepted moral value of ‘justice’ on the global scale. Those who possess more might, attack others from front but in such a way that they themselves face far less risk of their own life. Those who possess less might, attack others from behind and in such a way that they have to finish their own life also. Surely I am talking about ‘suicide bombers’ here.

Those who possess more might are morally weak because they can fight only with those who are weaker than them. These ‘more mighty’ nations use sophisticated technology in order to kill those who do not possess such a technology. Those who do not possess highly sophisticated technology, can use the technology of ordinary bombs in order to kill the innocent civilians.

So more mighty fighters of contemporary world are morally weak and so is the case with ‘less mighty’ fighters of our present world, who are also morally weak.

Just compare the present day Muslims’ moral sense of fighting with the fighting ethics of the companions of Prophet (PBUH). Once in a Ghazwah, Prophet (PBUH) handed over his sword to his companion. That companion was really aware of how to use the sword of the Prophet (PBUH). During the war time, that companion was in a position to kill a very wicked Kaffir woman. BUT THAT COMPANION DID NOT KILL THAT WOMAN EVEN DURING THE WAR TIME because that companion was aware that the sword of Prophet had no any function as to be raised over a woman however wicked that woman was and even in a war time. The Prophet (PBUH) then really approved of the decision of that companion. So that was the real moral value of how to fight with others even in the time of war.

When it comes the issue of progress or decline in moral values, then I think it better to not to talk of ethical decline of other nations because here the foremost issue would be to think about the moral decline of our own nation. We ourselves have been declined morally that if some chachenyiens make hostage of small children in Moscow, then our newspapers call those people as ‘Janbaz’ and ‘Mujahid’.

Osama sahib thinks it all right that American civilians, including women and children also, should be attacked by the ‘mujahids’.

So morally we have been perished and other nations are on the decline.

It seems that we are striving for our own selves plus for our immediate two or three next generations. We are destroying all the good natural things and we are depriving off our next 3rd or 4th generation from a healthy natural environment. Not only we are destroying the nature, we also are not finding any alternative for the future generations. All efforts of all the nations are aimed at gaining more political, economical and military advantage EVEN AT THE COST OF NATURE AND OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

I think we are following ‘solid’ ‘things’. Political, economical and military things are all ‘solid’ so we are following these ‘solid’ things. We consider moral and ethical values as ‘hallucinations’ so we are not following these delusions.

This is a fact that currently we do not possess any line of action. But I think we young ppl really can lay the foundation if we really strive for finding some workable progressive line of action for our selves. But how can we strive for these things? Paper mein pass hone ke liye to sirf ratta lagane ki zaroorat hai. So when we shall be free from these ‘examinations’ then we shall strive for it.


Thanks!

well u r right that our youth is not going in tjhe right path
wel we all have t fight in our own limits
it all depends on us on each and every person to lead his life in his own style
wel there is n o doubt that socity has its afects but the real thing is your own personality and behaviour
1st thing that i ask u is r u satisfied with ur self that u r doing aal u can????????
frankly speaking im not

you are very right to think for forth generations. very few people in our communities think for.... one thing i would like to mention that scince we think the success in this world is alpha to omega, we have forgoten our selves and run away from actual and eternal life of hereafter. linking to your points, yes ofcourse we are leaving nothing but hallucination for coming ones. if we just adhere to point out only the undesiarble facts of todays civilizations, we must also meke some efforts to move beyond the lipservise. reaching at the top of peaks is in materialistic fields, not every thing, one must care of moral values.
