[quote]Salams,
Rise and Downfall is a natural phenomena,almost every nation and civilization faces it.
The following causes can be listed as some of  the factors which led to the downfall
of Muslims:
1:Indifference to the Quran.
2:Blind Taqleed(conformism).
3:Obssessive preoccupation with Greek Philosophy and Fiqh(jurisprudence) at the cost of the life-giving message of the Quran.This obssession with philosophy and fiqh led to petty squabbles.
4:Instead of adhering to the essence and spirit of the Quran and Hadith,they were reduced to philosophical and juristic manuals.The Quran was not consulted for guidance but to ferret out those verses which could be used as a support for their sectarian,philosophical and juristic doctrines and ideas.
5:Sufism can be counted as cause of Muslim Downfall.It urged Muslims  to take rfuge in Khanqas and turn a blind eye to hard realities of life.Quran constantly urges its readers to ponder over the creation  of the Univers but Sufism told Muslims to shut their eyes to the nature around them and instead 
look into their Batin(their innerbeings).Ascendancy of Sufism resulted in indifference to science.
6:Indulgence of rulers in luxury and orgiastic revelries.
7:Invasion of Mongols which convulsed the entire Muslim World and shhok its foundations.
7: Spain was great hub of intellectual activities and a sanctuary for Muslims and non-muslim scholars and scientists from all around the neighbouring countries.The downfall of Spain was a great blow to Muslims, intellectual progress.[/quote]
