Unity among Muslims ???


Nowadays, Muslims are badly divided; the irony
is that they all claim to be united, which is not so.

Muslims should strive their best to achieve their unity
in many aspects. It is against the spirit of Islam to see Muslims so so so divided.

It is high time for Muslims to be united and forget about their differences. Unity is a unique feature of Islam.

Disunity among Muslims is our greatest problem today. We are at present a very very fragmented and divided people. We have disunity at every level: within our communities, at the local level, national level and international level.

We talk about unity and discuss the problem of disunity in our meetings and conferences, but we fail to be united. We fail to work together, although everything in our religion and in our condition demands that we come together and work together.

In Islam unity and faith are interrelated. People of faith are united people. The more faith they will have, the more united they will be. Allah says in the Qur?an, (Indeed the Believers are brethren to each other)
(Al-Hujurat 49: 10).

When we talk of unity, let us remember that unity does not mean uniformity. It does not mean that we should look alike, eat alike, dress alike. It does not mean that we should not have any differences in opinions.

Unity means the unity of purpose and goal. Unity does not mean negation of diversity.

Diversity is good;
disunity is bad.
Diversity is a mercy;
disunity is a curse.
Unity can be achieved with Diversity.

Unity means the unity of purpose and goal. United people are diverse people, but their purpose and goal is one and the same.

For a great deal of Muslims Unity is perceived more as a slogan that a mission. Wherever we are we should try to see how we can achieve unity among ourselves but we don't.

When people of diverse backgrounds, cultures, nationalities... become united for one purpose, they achieve progress and success. However, when the people of one and the same culture, race, nationality lose consciousness of their purpose, they become divided and they fail.

Unity does not come down as rain from the sky. Also it is not a miracle that will happen among those who do not believe in unity.

Unity will only come if we strive for it and work hard to achieve it. Unity requires continuous efforts.

Please share your thoughts.
