tbh Somalis who followed the deen were just as badly affected and damaged by the civil war as the criminals and opportunists. Not just Somalis but Muslim civilisations in general. It's senseless to say that the reason for the demise of a Muslim nation is because they suddenly abandoned deen. Innocent Muslims fall into misery every day. Misery comes for anyone. You say that we're in the current condition cus we chose qabil over deen but then why are other kaafir nations prospering in peace then?
I don't think a perfect Muslim society ever existed either, we ALL diverge from the deen with every breath. The Ummah is non-existent. What Ummah? Somalis starve, Uyghurs starve, Rohyngya starve etc whereas the descendants of the prophet live like pigs and don't invite a single Syryan refugee?
Iran was a great nation before the zealots took over and same thing for Yemen and Somalia. Plenty of Somali women back in the day dressed like American women and schoolgirls didn't wear jilbabs and such. They were happy.
I don't agree with
@IslamIsTheAnswer 's tone and neither am I supporting any atheistic ideology.
