Much has been written about the rise and decline of western civilization in many languages. In this article, I have attempted to examine and evaluate some arguments and debates around this topic. My objective in this writing is to examine Western civilisation's rising and declining trends and trajectories from religious and ethical perspectives.

Modern man has taken humanity into this precarious condition and God has already predicted this in the Holy Qur'an. ' Corruption has flourished on land and sea as a result of people's actions, and He will make them taste the consequences of some other their actions. So that they may turn back. ' Modern man has already started to taste the consequences of his wrong actions towards his environment, ecology, and humanity learn more on SSRN
