My dear friend in Gaza, May Allah سبحانه و تعالى protect her, told me,

"During last Friday's sermon, the Imam stood on the pulpit and delivered the shortest sermon in human history. He said, "Dear friends, I am hungry and can not speak. You are starving and can not listen. So, establish prayer."

Charity does not decrease wealth, no one forgives another except that Allah increases his honor, and no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah except that Allah raises his status.

(Sahih Muslim)

But, then again, it may have been the perfect age.

The Sahaba, RadiAllahu Anhum, always followed the Sunnah because it was Sunnah.

Today, we don't follow the Sunnah because it is (only) Sunnah.

We have become derelict and complacent in our deen.

We need to learn Sunnah, understand Sunnah, and live the Sunnah.

For comparison, The Quran Beheld translation by Nu Ha Mim Keller:

Be not deceived by those who disbelieve holding their sway over the lands:
A passing pathetic advantage, then no matter how long, and direly worse, their refuge shall be the flowering hell abyss, and how evil a bed made!
