Bismillah
Well as for why the Muslim Ummah is subjected to this, actually the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam did warn us against this and foretold us already. if u think about it, what is happening around the Muslim Ummah is not but a proof that the Messenger is the final Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam;
Narrated Abdullah Ibn Omar that the Messenger salla Allah a`alyhee wa sallam came to us saying O people of Muhajereen (immigrants) there are five issues if you will be inflicted with them and I seek refuge to Allah that you would not be available when they occur, never fornication would spread among people till they commit it publicly except that plague and other unprecedented diseases which was never experienced before among their predecessors would spread and prevail, food deficiency and unjust rulers, never people refrain from paying Zakat for their money except that they would be denied rain from sky and if it was not for animals they would have never received rain, never people violate the covenant of Allah and His Messenger except that Allah Sends on them an enemy from outside to take part of what is in their hands, and when their rulers don’t rule with the book of Allah and start selecting from what Allah revealed except that Allah instills their torture among them.” (reported by Ibn Majeh)
Ponder upon this hadeeth curious it will explain much
