Five Sicknesses of the Ummah
- The Muslim Ummah faces five major sicknesses: behavior, backwardness, ineffectiveness, thought, and leadership.
- These problems are interconnected and contribute to the Ummah's overall decline.

- Analyzing the Ummah's situation requires looking at four areas: the present, the future, the plan, and the resistance.
- Foreign intervention falls under resistance, not internal analysis.
