Why is it that with Muslim nations spanning three continents now, Islam being the fastest growing religion, and Muslims with education holding their own, few patents and emerging technologies are attributed to Muslims?

Is it because Muslims work now primarily to live luxuriously or to make a living? Make your work part of your worship guys? Maybe Allah will make Muslims leaders again.

True.

Yes, it is all about quick money. Muslims are becoming materialistic too.

Muslims do not realize that progress can not be bought. Progress has to be planted, developed, and nurtured. And progress requires a good intention with minimal thought of impact on self.

It is because Muslims are too narrcisstic. Other cultures have a common bond, to help their own people. Muslims are only concerned about themselves, not their community.

Technology and patents require a brilliant mind combined with selflessness or a business acumen and a lot of patience.

I dont believe that the Muslims of today have that. They want quick money, quick fixes and are becoming to capitalistic. We, as Muslims arent raised to think how to become curious about how things work. Even worse, we arent taught to think about how we can help others with our knowledge or skills.

I just lived in Pakistan and I wish I knew how to combat a lot of the problems there. I just wasnt raised to think HOW to make solar panels or clean water. What a waste of a mind.
