Islam is a complete code of life. It teaches unity
and discipline to its followers. This great religion instructs toward
brotherhood and unity. According to Islam all are equal. There is no concept of
superiority and inferiority on the base of color and creed. Muslims of the
whole world are bound by a common ideology.
Unity, faith
and discipline are the basic and common principles and teachings of Islam. It
is the demand of Quran and Sunnah of the great and last Prophet of Allah Hazrat
Muhammad (PBUH) that Muslims should work for the Unity of whole Ummah. Quran
says that Muslims should be merciful to each other. In Hadith it is mentioned
that Muslims are like a whole body, if one part of the body gets hurt the whole
body will feel the pain. The holy book of Allah says that:-
“And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches
out for you), and be not divided among yourselves”.
(Al-Quran 3:103)
In the
light of this verse we can say that it is a Quranic command that Muslims should
remain united. But here the question is that is there such unity these days
about which Quran has given command?
Muslim world
is suffering from many problems and the reason behind this is the whole Ummah
is not united. Day by day Muslims are facing the destruction and death. There
are many Muslim groups who are fighting against each other. In 1923 it was the
time when Greeks attacked on Turkey. It was a sorrowful moment because it was
the attack on Islam. At that time Iqbal wrote a poem in which he gave the
lesson of unity. The tile of that poem is “Taluh E Islam. He says in that poem
that:-
"Hawas ne tukre tukre kar diya
hay na’u insan ko
ukhuwwat ka bayan ho ja mohabbat ki
zaban ho ja
ye Hindi, wo Khurasani, ye Afghani,
wo Turani
tu ay sharmindayeh sahil uchhal kar
bekaraan ho ja"
When we look at the present situation we can
imagine that how much the soul of the Iqbal will be in restless condition.
Muslims are not united today and that’s the basic problem and issue of the destruction
of Muslim Ummah. Under current situation the great and golden principles of
unity and brotherhood are the need of the hour. History shows that when Muslims
were united they were the rulers of the vast area. They had to face disgrace
whenever they lost unity. We must learn lesson for the sake of existence.
The enemies of the Muslims are very clever.
They are working very hard to create disunity among the Muslim Ummah. They have
their agents in all Muslim countries. They are having different slogans to
create misunderstanding. Sectarianism and regionalism are their main weapons.
The Jews in the Middle East, Hindus in the subcontinent and the capitalism of
the West are bitterly against the Muslims. They cannot tolerate the prosperity
of Islam. They are cunning and sharp. They work according to the set plans. The
innocent Muslims are fallen a prey to their schemes and have lost unity. The
situation of Kashmir, Bosnia and Palestine is in front of us. Non- Muslims are
killing brutally to innocent Muslims and the other Muslim countries are not
taking any action. They don’t have unity.
It is the time for all Muslim Ummah to awake
and be united otherwise the situation will become more and worse. Muslim’s
enemies are united and Muslims are scattered. There is need of brotherhood.
Muslim scholars should deliver sermons on unity. Leaders of the whole Muslim
world should play their role and should bring them under one banner.
Allah makes the promise that if w will remain
united then we will be able to get the glory dignity and power and Allah does
not break His promise. Let’s pray to Allah Almighty that he create unity in our
hearts and in the path of Islam. (Amen)
