Topic: UNITY AMONG MUSLIMS

[amazing moon]

We start with the name of Allah. We praise Allah and thank Allah for the blessing of Islam. We humbly ask Allah to raise the rank of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam and his kind Al and Companions and to protect his nation from that which he fears for them.

Thereafter:

Solidarity, cooperation and standing together are important and basic elements for constructing a sound, united Islamic society. If the sincere Muslim were to take a brief look at the situation of Muslims throughout the world today, it would be enough to make him active in establishing unity among Muslims.

A quick glance at the situation before and after the reveal of the call of Islam by Prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam would shed bright light on the sound foundation for unity among Muslims.

Prophet ^Isa, Jesus, peace be upon him, came before Prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam. The followers of Prophet ^Isa who adhered to the Religion of Islam but began to diminish in numbers after Prophet ^Isa was raised to the sky. Ignorance then began to spread among the people. Before Prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam renewed the call of Islam, the people were living in an era of ignorance. It was a period of time when widespread ignorance prevailed. This period of time, before Prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam renewed the call of Islam, was called the time of ignorance ??, because ignorance prevailed among the people. The Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula at that time were scattered tribes, dispersered throughout the land, fighting and plundering each other. The intensity of their wars drove some of them to bury their daughters alive, hoping to escape scandal should their daughters be captured by the enemy.

The strong did injustice to the weak. Women were considered worthless just because they were female. Drinking alcohol was prevalent. Some had dozens of wives. People unrightfully worshipped stones and idols. Some even worshipped idols made from dates, and when they felt hungry, they ate them!! Many buried their daughters out of fear of poverty. Prostitution became widespread unjust tribal solidarity (^asabiyyah) prevailed. People blindly adhered to their tribal judgments, even when these were unjust (^asabiyyah). This was the situation that prevailed before the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam came with his Message. People were living in ignorance and darkness.

When the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam received the Revelation of Prophethood, he began to call the people to Islam. The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam made reference to the state of ignorance prevalent at that time in a hadith related by Muslim and others. He said:

" ?? ?? ?? ? ?? ?.
: ? ?? ? ??
: ?? ?? ? ?? ?? ? ?? ?"

Which means: “When this Religion started, it was strange to the people, and it shall be strange again as it was when it started. Extremely blessed at that time will be the strangers- those who correct the discrepancies people made to my sunnah after me”.

At first, people felt that the Religion was strange because of their rampant state of ignorance. They worshipped ignorantly and unrightfully many idols the period when the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam came to them to worship one and only one God, Who does not resemble this creation. They felt that this was so strange because of this ignorance in which they were drowning.

In the above hadith, the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam established, as well that this Religion would again become strange to many people, because ignorance would gain prevail. He also established that when that time comes, some people will stand up and correct the misconceptions in the minds of others, they will teach people what the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam came with, and will warn against those who contravene his laws.

As a result of the Prophet’s call sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, people united, and their hearts and hands joined together. Those who immigrated from Makkah to al-Madinah were graciously received by the Ansar, the residents of al-Madinah. The bonds of the brotherhood were established to such an extent that a member of the Ansar offered to split his wealth and belongings with a Muslim brother from Makkah. They united and shared their money, wealth and efforts together. They accepted many hardships for the purpose of raising the banner of Islam and spreading the message of the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam brought to them. Within a few years they became one body expressing solidarity. They united in the Arabian Peninsula. They opened Makkah and went far beyond the Peninsula teaching about Islam.

Allah said in Surat Al-^Imran, Ayah 103:

{?? ? ? ?? ? ? ? ?? ?? ? ?? ? ? }

which means: {Adhere to the true Religion of Allah and do not disunite. Recall the endowment of Allah upon you- that you were enemies and Allah mended your hearts together}. Hence, Muslims became one united nation. Non-adherence to the true Religion of Allah causes disunity. However, adherence to the true Religion of Allah requires knowledge about Islam.

The era in which the achievements mentioned above were brought about was undoubtedly characterized by knowledge. It was characterized by the knowledge of the Religion the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam brought to the people. Hence, we can draw clear conclusions. When ignorance prevailed, the people were disunited and enmity was widespread among them. When the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam brought the knowledge of the only true Religion to the companions, they accepted and implemented it, and consequently became united.

The message the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam brought to his people was that the only true and acceptable Religion to Allah is Islam, and he who chooses for himself a religion other than Islam is a loser in this life and in the Hereafter. The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam called the people to worship one and only one God Whose Name is Allah. He taught the people that Allah exists, and His existence is without a beginning and without an end. He taught the people that Allah does not resemble any of the creation, and hence, He is not a body; He is not a soul; He does not occupy places; He is not subject to time; He cannot be imagined in the minds; and delusions do not define Him. He taught the people that Allah is attributed with the perfect, befitting attributes. He is attributed with Power, Will, Knowledge, Hearing, Sight, Life and Kalam (Speech). None of His attributes are similar to the attributes of the creation. None of His attributes develop or change. None of His attributes are sequential, i.e. no attribute precedes or follows another. In Surat ash-Shura, Ayah 11, Allah attributed to Himself.

{??? ?? }

which means: {Nothing is like Allah in any way whatsoever}. From that, the scholars of Islam established a well-known statement Dhun-Nun al-Misriyy, Thawban Ibn Ibrahim and Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal said:

"? ?? ?? ?? ?? "

This means: “Whatever you imagine in your mind, Allah is different from it”. This is because what one imagines in one’s mind is a creation, and Allah does not resemble the creation.

The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam taught the people he was the messenger and worshipper of Allah. The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam was truthful in all that he conveyed from Allah. He taught that all the Prophets before him were Prophets of Islam; they all came with the basic message: la ilaha illallah. They all called the people to worship one and only one God, Allah. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam taught that all the Prophets have befitting attributes and are clear of all non-befitting attributes. Hence, they are attributed with befitting attributes, such as courage, handsomeness and intelligence; they are clear of the non-befitting attributes, such as stupidity, repelling illnesses, and vileness. They are also clear of handicaps which impede their ability to deliver their message to the people. The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam taught that it was impossible for the prophets to commit blasphemy, enormous sins, or small mean sins before and after Prophethood.

The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam taught the people about the tortures as well as the enjoyments of the grave, and about the scale on which the deeds of every person will be weighed. He taught the people about the Resurrection, the Assembly and the Bridge (as-Sirat) that extends over Hellfire. The Bridge will connect the recreated earth with Paradise, and all will come to it, some successfully, either walking on or flying over it, but others will fall from it into Hellfire. The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam taught about Hellfire and Paradise. The enjoyments of Paradise and the tortures of Hellfire are not allegorical, rather they are experienced by the body and the soul. He taught the people about the Day of Judgment, after which there would be no more death. On that day, death will take on the shape of a lamb and will be slaughtered, and there be no death afterwards. He taught that those who enter Paradise will be there forever, and those who are blasphemes are doomed to Hellfire forever. The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam taught the people about believing in the Revealed Books, in the Angels and the messengers of Allah; and the belief in destiny, created by Allah, whether good or bad.

The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam also taught that the believers will be rewarded in Paradise. Among the many rewards is that they will see Allah, not in a place or a direction and without distance between them and Allah, because Allah created the place and exists without a place. They would see Allah, not like creatures are seen, because Allah does not resemble any of the creation, and hence, Allah is not in a place. Whatever one imagines in his mind, Allah is different from it.

The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam called the people to worship one and only one God. He planted in them the correct creed of Ahlus-Sunnah and brought them the highest level of ethics and manners. He taught them how to deal with one another, observe the rights of others, fulfil one’s obligations and responsibilities; how to be obedient to Allah and to refrain from all sins. The Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam taught the people that those who have the correct belief in Islam and die with that belief shall be winners on the Day of Judgment. Those who carry this correct belief are obedient to Allah, and refrain from sinning are pious people and shall have great reward on the Day of Judgment.
