Tsarin kabilanci na al'ummar Larabawa na jahiliyya, wanda ya wanzu tsawon ƙarni, Musulunci ya kawar da shi. Musulunci ya kira mutane su yi imani da Ubangiji guda ɗaya, Allah (SWT), kuma su bi umarninsa (SWT).

The nationalistic structure of pagan Arabian society, which existed for centuries, was eradicated by the arrival of Islam. Islam invited people to believe in one god, Allah (swt), and to follow His (swt) commands.

Allah (SWT) ya ce, "Kuma ba a umarce su da komai ba face su bauta wa Allah, suna mai tsantsar biyayya gare Shi, suna masu karkata zuwa gare Shi (cikin imani); su tsayar da salla, su bayar da zakka; kuma wannan ita ce addini madaidaiciya." [TMQ Suratul Bayyina (98): aya ta 5] Ya nemi biyayya ga addini maimakon ga kabilu, domin Allah (SWT) ya ce, "Ya ku waɗanda suka yi imani! Kada ku riƙi ubanninku da 'yan'uwanku su zama masu kare ku idan sun fi son kafirci a kan imani: duk wanda ya riƙe su, to, waɗannan su ne azzalumai. Ka ce, idan ubanninku, da 'ya'yanku, da 'yan'uwanku, da abokanku, da danginku; dukiyar da kuka tara; kasuwancin da kuke tsoron ya yi ƙasa, ko gidajen da kuke so - sun fi ƙaunata a gare ku fiye da Allah da Manzonsa, ko jihadi a hanyarSa, to ku jira har Allah ya kawo hukuncinSa: kuma Allah ba ya shiryar da mutane azzalumai." [TMQ Suratut Tauba: 23-24] Don haka dangantaka tsakanin Musulmi an gina ta ne a kan akidar Musulunci. Dukkan Musulmi ana kula da su daidai, ba tare da la'akari da asalin iyalinsu ba, kuma duk wanda ya furta kalmar shahada "La ilaha illallahu Muhammadun Rasulullah" ya zama ɓangare na Al'ummar Musulmi ﷺ.

For Allah (swt) says, “And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer and to practise zakat; and this is the deen right and straight.” [TMQ Surah Baiyanah (98): ayah 5] It asked for loyalty to the deen rather than to the tribes, for Allah (swt) says, “O you who believe! Take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love kufr above iman: if any of you do so, they do wrong. Say, if it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your friends, your relatives; the wealth that you have gained; the commerce in which you fear decline, or the dwellings which you delight - are dearer to you than Allah or His messenger, or the jihad in His cause - then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the wrongdoers.” [TMQ Surah Tauba:23-24] Ties between the Muslims were therefore based upon the ‘aqeedah of Islam. All Muslims were treated exactly the same, irrespective of their family background, and anyone who declared the shahadah “La ilaha illAllahu Muhammad ar-Rasul Allah” became part of the Muslim Ummah.

Wannan haɗin kai na akida ya ci gaba da zama tushen dangantaka tsakanin Musulmi sama da shekaru dubu. Musulunci ya haɗa Larabawa, Barbarawa, Romawa, Farisawa da Indiyawa, ya haɗa su ya zama ummatun wahida, al'umma guda, kamar yadda Alkur'ani ya bayyana{1}. Saboda haka Musulunci ya haɗa mutane ba tare da la'akari da launinsu ba, kabilarsu, matsayinsu ko harshensu. Wannan haɗin kai, wanda ya ginu a kan 'aqeedah ta Musulunci, shi ne ya ba da ƙarfi da iko ga Daular Musulunci a yakin neman yada Kalmar Allah (SWT) a duniya. A takaice, wannan haɗin kai ne kafirai suka yi matuƙar ƙoƙari wajen ruguzawa.

This ideological bond continued to be the basis of the relationships between the Muslims for over a thousand years. Islam brought together the Arabs, the Berbers, the Romans, the Persians and the Indians and united them to form ummatun wahida, one people, as described in the Qur’an1. Islam therefore united people irrespective of their colour, race, status or language. It was this bond, which was based on the ‘aqeedah of Islam, that provided the strength and might to the Islamic State in its campaign to spread the Word of Allah (swt) across the globe. Essentially, it was this bond that the Kuffar worked so hard to destroy.
