Shakib Arsalan’s 1930 book 'Why Did Muslims Lag Behind? And Why Did Others Progress?' originated from a 1928 letter in which the Imam of Java, Mohammad Basyuni Imran, asked why Muslims had fallen behind other nations and how they could recover their strength. Arsalan responded by rejecting the idea that Islam itself caused decline, showing instead that other nations advanced while remaining deeply religious.
Through a wide historical sweep – from early Islam to European colonialism and even debates in the British Parliament – he illustrated how Muslims once excelled and how they continued to achieve great things when they acted with purpose. The book’s enduring popularity across nearly a century reflects the lasting relevance of Arsalan’s analysis and its appeal to Arabic-speaking readers today.
