One of the falsehoods that the people of Baatil have propagated and promoted is the thought that the unity or unification of the Islamic Ummah is impossible. They aim to create despair amongst the people in regards to achieving this truth. When the people despair in regards to the accomplishment of a matter, they will then never work for it and will accept other and less than it.

As such our rulers persisted upon the path of deception and murder; they instigated disputes and hostilities amongst the Muslims whilst feeding the thoughts of partition and division in the name of independence and self-determination. As a result the Ummah was torn apart into Arab, Turkish and Persian pieces amongst others...

The loyalties and allegiances became many with many differing cultures and origins including Pharaonic and Phoenician amongst others. They pushed the misconceptions by way of lies and ignorance which they called thought and scrutiny. So the Shayaateen persisted to instigate and push the thought that the Muslims have many languages, ethnic and national origins and that they have different problems and issues. They then used arguments such as resolving the dispute, human rights, the right of self-determination and democracy amongst others to reinforce the thoughts of separation and division and to remove the thought of unity.

What must be fully comprehended by every Muslim and what he must work and act upon its basis, is that the Islamic Ummah is one single Ummah regardless of how many and differing the ethnic origins or languages are. This Haqeeqah (truth) is a matter that is a Shar’iy obligation and if that truth is not realised today, with obstacles lying in its path, then it is Waajib (obligatory) to work to realise that and remove every obstacle that lies in its path. If some of the Muslims or many from amongst them have been deceived and taken on board thoughts that lead to mutual animosity, hatred and division then it is obligatory to carry the Da’wah to Allah, order the Ma’rouf and forbid the Munkar in order to remove these misconceptions and deceptions and to implant the correct Islamic thoughts within the people.

Allah (swt) said:

In the case where the Deen is one and the Millah is one and the Deen represents an Aqeedah and a Sharee’ah that deals with all of the affairs of the individual and the society, this would inevitably and automatically make the Muslims into one single Ummah.

Ahmad related in his Musnad that the Nabi (saw) said:

And in respect to the tribal, patriotic and nationalistic allegiances and partisanships he (saw) said:

Despite these clear texts the people of falsehood and misguidance however want to destroy our Ummah and so they come to advise us in the same way as Iblees came to Aadam (as) with advice.

Allah (swt) informs us about them when He said:

And we feel and suffer what has happened to us under the shade of their hegemony and dominance and the tyranny of the agents that has been practised over us. We are massacred and displaced as individuals and collectives whilst the Muslim does not find the capability or means to extend help to his brother who is only a few kilometres from him or less. Whosoever wishes from amongst the depraved and base can subjugate us whether this is in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, Indonesia or Uzbekistan amongst other places. Our regimes and news media broadcast to us the news of our slaughters and it is witnessed as if there is no relationship existing between the Muslims.

This is whilst Allah (swt) has said

The Muslims in every part of the world must realise, fully comprehend and have belief in the Haqeeqah (truth) which is that the Muslims are one single Ummah to the exclusion of all others. They must grab hold firmly upon this definite Shar’iyah Haqeeqah and to build upon its basis whilst casting aside every other basis whatever this may be and whatever the costs or consequences are.

The Muslims are one single Ummah. This is a definite and decisive truth and will remain so as long as the Muslims remain as Muslims. It is an inevitable matter and not merely a possible one as our unity as Muslims is a natural, obvious, practical and essential matter that could be accomplished quickly. This is upon the condition that it proceeds upon the right path towards accomplishing that and that it does not proceed behind the deceptions of the disbelieving colonialist States, the deceptions of our rulers, their apparatuses, manufactured movements and mouth pieces, and even if they trick and deceive us by calls towards unity.

As for the language, ethnicity, colour, origin, current problems and issues, then all of these to not specify, define or provide any thought, concept or position. They do not provide a thought about the existence of the creator, the Prophethood of Muhammad (saw), the Day of Judgement, Jannah or the fire. None of them provide a legal ruling or judgement in respect to Hajj, Sawm, truthfulness or trustworthiness, or for Khamr or Khinzeer, or do they provide a position in respect to the Yahood or any other people nor do they provide any legislation.

The problems and issues do not specify any position, stance or legislation themselves because they are not sources of legislation, solutions or treatments. Rather they are what are in need of the treatments and solutions. The source of solutions is the fundamental thought (Aqeedah), the legislative methodology and its texts i.e. the texts of the Qur’aan and the Sunnah alone. The Unity that exists amongst people is established upon a unity or unification of thoughts, systems and laws which the people believe in and upon the unity of the feelings that are latent within their emotions or outwardly apparent.

In spite of all that has come to pass upon her, the factors, motives and incentives for the Islamic Ummah’s unity remain stronger and more powerful than those related to her disunity and division. The motivation for the unity is represented in the Islamic Aqeedah which explains the universe, man and life and makes clear the relationship of these matters with what came before them and what comes after them, and it provides a system for regulating life, all the requirements of which are completely and perfectly present and fulfilled within Islaam.

The Muslims believe in Islaam, the Nabi (saw) and his Message, the history of Islaam is a history for all of them, the Seerah of their Nabi (saw) is their model and example which they revise and are dedicated to, and the great men of Islaam like Abu Bakr, Umar, ‘Uthmaan and ‘Ali amongst many others (rah) are their great men whom they look up and aspire to. The Muslims practise the main rites of Islaam together and the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’iyah that unify them and join them together are too numerous to be listed. They all wait for Ramadhaan to come together and then they fast together, and their hearts all incline towards the Masjid Al-Haraam. They head towards it at a single time in the same days and even the same hour whilst coming in contact with people from all corners of the world, who are undertaking the very same rituals and acts, repeating the same words, making Tawaaf, Du’aa, sacrifices and then heading together on the journey to the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah (saw) to pray there and to make Tasleem upon the Messenger in Al-Madinah AlMunawwarah, the land of the first Islamic State. They recall the beginning of his Da’wah, his determination, perseverance, patience and victory. They then return to their lands and those close to them and discuss their experiences and receive congratulations from them.
