call for unity
A CALL FOR UNITY The people with the strongest claim to Abraham are those who followed him and this Prophet, and those who believe. God is the Protector of the believers. (Qur'an, 3:68)
Therefore, all Jews and Christians, who believe wholeheartedly in God, like Abraham (pbuh) and the believers who followed him, must only turn to God and follow this great Prophet's example of virtue, sincerity, and insight. The best way to show one's love, obedience, and closeness to the Prophets is by emulating them. Muslims do not discriminate among all of the Prophets and what was revealed to them, for God commands: Islam, a religion of peace and acceptance, requires believers to treat all people with justice and respect. Devout Muslims are tolerant, forgiving, modest, understanding, gentle, genuine, and honest. The current situation clearly suggests that Muslims will influence the developments of the twenty-first century in one way or another. However, what really matters here is that this influence must benefit the Islamic world in particular and humanity in general. The first thing that comes to mind at this stage is whether the Islamic world can play such a role, given its present condition. No doubt, Muslims have the necessary ability and awareness to shoulder this responsibility. However, looking at Muslim nations today reveals many problems, among them the lack of established democracy, the inability to keep up with technological progress, and an underdeveloped economy. An Islamic world preparing to play an active role in world politics must solve these and similar problems first. The Islamic world's disunity and fragmentation is an even more urgent and vital problem that must be resolved. When a strong Islamic Union is formed, such problems will either not arise or will be resolved far quicker than anticipated. It must be stated here that the diversity found in the Islamic world, as well as the existence of various schools of Islamic thought, is not an issue in this regard. Likewise, unity does not equal the same practice or system. Rather, this diversity must be united under the umbrella of faith and on the basis of mutual tolerance and solidarity. Differences of thought, practice, or point of view are normal and common in all societies. Islamic morality requires that Muslims never forget that they are all brothers and sisters, irrespective of their differences. Whatever the race, language, nation, or branch of Islam one might follow, all Muslims are brothers and sisters. Therefore, such differences must be appreciated as a source of richness instead of as a source of potential conflict and fragmentation. Such a mistaken view only diverts one's attention from the real issues and delays urgently needed and important preventive action. Say to My servants that they should only say the best. Satan wants to stir up trouble between them. Satan is an outright enemy to man. (Qur'an, 17:53) QURAN CHAPTER 3:103 A Muslim is a Muslim’s brother. He does not wrong him or abandon him.
Unity Will Make the Muslims Strong
As mentioned earlier, quarrels and disputes cause internal disintegration, which weakens Muslims' spiritually. This is one of the many secrets that the Qur'an reveals to believers, and it points to another important reality: Just as disputes and quarrels weaken them spiritually, unity and solidarity strengthen them. God tells Muslims to unite and resist when they are wronged (Qur'an, 42:39). This divine order contains great wisdom. For instance, destroying irreligious ideologies will be possible only when the Muslims unite. eventually, an essential ingredient for Muslims to be united is the Qur'an and the hadiths of the prophet Muhammad [SAW]. if not for any reason for us to unite the current situation is mandatory for us to unite as one. see what is happening in the middle east, eastern Africa, northern part of Nigeria and so many part of the world were Muslims are dominated. massacre of innocent women, children, destruction of properties and the so called human right, NGOs, internationals law of justice are not working on these. therefore, Private and Individual Rights Must Be Just and Respected. lastly, all the hardships we are in currently no one to blames but ourselves. lets come back to Allah and Allah will forgive us and help us. the reason for our success in this life and Hereafter, Allah says what means, "and all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, o believers, that you may be successful [an-noor:31] ABDULAZIZ MUHAMMAD IBRAHIM ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT LEVEL 4
