Inna-lillah!
Palestine's largest bookshop, Samir Mansour, has been bombed.
A closer look reveals that one of the main reasons behind the current decline of the Muslim nation is to turn away from the pursuit of knowledge, to continue from the pursuit of literature. But the Western world has already taken this opportunity!

A small example of this is the ten largest libraries in the world today, none of which are Muslim. Statistics show that the world's largest library is currently located in Washington DC, USA. Named: American Library of Congress.
Where about 3 crore 30 lakh 12 thousand 650 books are in the collection.
The second largest library in China is the National Library of Wanted. The number of books is 2 crore 79 lakh 80 thousand 6. The third largest library is located in London. "The British library," Which is also known as.
Which has 2 crore 35 lakh books in its collection.
Thus, none of the 10 largest libraries in the world today is located in a Muslim country.
However, if we look at the previous history, it can be seen that in the golden age, the largest collection of books was only in Muslim countries.
History says that Baghdad was the richest and most powerful city in the world for about 500 centuries between the eighth and thirteenth centuries. The main reason is,
They were far ahead of others in knowledge-science education-initiation. No other city could be found equal to Baghdad in abundance or knowledge.
At that time there was a huge library in Baghdad called Darul Hikmah (House of Wish Room). Where was all the knowledge gained in the last 500 years of human history. Where almost all the old and modern books of Western Greek civilization, starting from Persian in India, were translated into Arabic. Baghdad was also famous for its translations.
But around 1258, a terrible nightmare came to this dream city.
During the Abbasid rule, Genghis Khan's grandson Halaku Khan thought he would attack Baghdad hard. One day, before the townspeople could understand what was going on, Baghdad was suddenly surrounded by Halaku troops. Imposed, obstruction. The condition was given - either surrender or death by eating. In such a situation, Caliph Mustasim's army went out of the city without feudal lords to meet Halakur. Crooked Halaku did not agree to make any treaty with Mustasim without shield and sword. Instead, he ordered the caliph to open the city gates. After opening the gates of the city, the Halaqur forces began to enter Baghdad like the waters of the Ban. The indiscriminate killing spree started. The hellishness of that murder cannot be expressed in writing. Outside the house, in the mosque, where everyone was found, men, women, children, old merchants, everyone was killed by the Mars. They didn't just kill people. Instead, it burned down and destroyed the rich library of Dar al-Hikmah in Baghdad. It is estimated that about 1 million books were collected in the Darul Hikmah Library.
Halaku Khan attacked and destroyed the entire library and threw almost all the books into the river Tigris.
According to many survivors of Khan, so many books were thrown into the Tigris River that the clear water of the river turned black due to the ink of the book. The smell of burning books wafted through the air of the city. That was the situation for about 40 days! If those priceless books survived, perhaps human civilization would be helped to move forward. Maybe we wouldn't have to wait until the next 400 years, that is, before the arrival of Jensa in Europe. To trap and destroy Baghdad in this way means to cripple Islam politically.
The decline of such Muslims today is due to the lack of knowledge in Muslim countries like in the previous era. In this opportunity, the westerners are advancing in science. So Muslims now have to build a rich library from house to house. The richer a nation's library is, the richer it will be in terms of personality, God willing.
