Muundo wa kikabila wa jamii ya kipagani ya Uarabuni, uliokuwepo kwa karne nyingi, ulifutiliwa mbali kwa kuja kwa Uislamu. Uislamu uliwaalika watu waamini Mungu mmoja, Allah (SWT), na kufuata amri Zake (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.

Kwa sababu Allah (SWT) anasema, "Na hawakuamriwa kitu chochote isipokuwa wamwabudu Allah, wakimtakasia dini kwa kumnyenyekea (kwa ikhlasi), wawe waongofu; na wasimamishe Swala na watoe Zakah; na hiyo ndiyo dini iliyo sawa." [TMQ Surah Al-Bayyina (98): aya 5] Ilidai uaminifu kwa dini badala ya kwa makabila, kwa kuwa Allah (SWT) anasema, "Enyi mlioamini! Msiwafanye walinzi baba zenu na ndugu zenu ikiwa wanapenda kufuru kuliko imani; na yeyote miongoni mwenu atakayewafanya hao kuwa walinzi, basi hao ndio madhalimu. Sema: Ikiwa baba zenu, watoto wenu, ndugu zenu, wake zenu, jamaa zenu; mali mliyoyachuma; biashara mnayoogopa kudorora kwake; na majumba mnayoyapenda, ni mapenzi kwenu kuliko Allah na Mtume Wake na jihadi katika njia Yake, basi ngojeni mpaka Allah alete amri Yake; na Allah hawaongoi watu mafasiki." [TMQ Surah At-Tawba: 23-24] Mahusiano baina ya Waislamu yalijengwa, basi, juu ya 'aqīdah ya Uislamu. Waislamu wote walitendewa sawa kabisa, bila kujali asili ya familia zao, na yeyote aliyetamka shahada "Laa ilaha illa Allahu, Muhammadun Rasulu Allah" alikuwa sehemu ya Ummah wa Kiislamu.

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.

Uhusiano huu wa kiitikadi uliendelea kuwa msingi wa mahusiano kati ya Waislamu kwa zaidi ya miaka elfu moja. Uislamu uliwaunganisha Waarabu, Waberber, Warumi, Waajemi na Wahindi, na kuwafanya kuwa ummatun wahida, umma mmoja, kama ilivyoelezwa katika Qur’ani1. Kwa hiyo Uislamu uliwaunganisha watu bila kujali rangi, kabila, hadhi au lugha zao. Ilikuwa ni uhusiano huu, uliojengwa juu ya ‘aqeedah ya Uislamu, ndio uliotoa nguvu na uwezo kwa Dola ya Kiislamu katika kampeni yake ya kueneza Neno la Allah (swt) duniani kote. Kimsingi, ni uhusiano huu ambao Makafiri walifanya juhudi kubwa kuuharibu.

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.
