At present, the number of Muslims has exceeded 1.25 billion. But sadly, their condition is the same as has been described in a Hadith. Ahmad and Abu-Dawud reported on authority of Hazrat Soban (R.A) that Prophet (Sallal-Laho-Alaihe-Wasallam) said:
"A time will come when the nations (of the world) will surround you from every side, just as diners gather around the main dish. Somebody asked, 'Oh Messenger of Allah, will it be on account of our scarcity at that time?
'He said: 'No, but you will be scum, like the scum of flood water. Allah will remove fear from the hearts of your enemies and He will put Al-wahn in your hearts.‟ It was asked: what is al-wahn?
Prophet (Sallal-Laho-Alaihe-Wasallam) said: The love for the world, and the abhorrence of death.‟ - [Ahmad, Abu-Dawud]
This Hadith describes that if a majority is inflated from the outside but rotten from the inside, then such a majority is useless and will eventually end up being the scum of the flood water —as the history of the Ummah repeatedly tells us. And the traits that make the Ummah similar to the scum of the flood water are lack of faith, unity and visionlessness.
