Allah is

One Worshipping Method
And if you turn away, Allah will
exchange
you for some another people, and they will not be like you. [Al_Quraan_047.038]
O ye who believe! Whoso of you becomes a renegade from his religion, (know that in his stead) Allah will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble toward believers, stern toward disbelievers, striving in the way of Allah and fearing not the blame of any blamer. Such is the grace of Allah, which He gives unto whom He will. Allah is All Embracing, All Knowing. [Al_Quraan_005.054]
If
you want to build a
very tall building, you must first build foundation
accordingly. Foundation
is the most
important part of
every thing.
One
person came to Rasool Allah (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) and
asked I want to accept Islaam, BUT I don't want to
offer Salaat, don't want
to pay Zakaat, don't want to do any thing. Muhammad (Peace-Be-Upon-Him)
said, IF you want to
accept Islaam, you MUST have to come for Salaat. And time
showed that the same person took part in every part of Islaamic
actively. Without Salaat Rasool Allah
(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) didn't accept any one's Islaam.
Now a
days, we can see, if someone asks
for Asar Salaat according to his Asar time, the other one could say, no
... no ... no
it is not my Asar time, at the same place. My Asar time
will start 30 minutes later.
Should
we stand for Salaat side by side without any gap or we should
say no ... no ... no our Asar time will start 30 minutes later, at the same place.
What
should we do if we go for Haj? Should
we join the Salaat behind Imaam Kabaa, one of the
followers of Imaam Shafee, or we should
offer our Salaat separately 30 minutes LATER?
We
know there are several groups of people
offering their Salaat differently.
Should
we unite under one methodology for
all Worships, for the Unity of Muslim. Can we do little sacrifice for the unity of Muslim. Regarding Worshiping
Method, can we follow recent Imaam
Kabaa, eventually Imaam
Shafee (one of the four
Imaam) and of
course
following Quraan, for the Unity of
Muslim? Is there any
thing wrong in it? Or will we be out of Islaam by doing that?
If not, then why
don't we join together for the development of United Ummah.
Allah
said in sutra AL-ANAAM verse 159:
Those
who divide their religion and break up into sects, they don't have
any thing in ISLAAM.
Lets Unite:
I
invite you all, to come
to one metholody for all Worships ( of course according to Quraan). I also invite
you to tell others as well.
If
you DIFFER
in anything (Faith,
Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, etc.) amongst
yourself, then REFER
to Allah
and his Messenger
(Quraan),
if you really believe
in Allah
and in the Last Day.
That is better
and more
suitable for determinations. [Al_Quraan_004.059]
Call yourself Muslims: (No Shiaa no
Sunnee, Islaam is Unity)
And
strive for Allah with the endeavor, which is His (Allah’s)
right. He (Allah)
has chosen you and has imposed no difficulties (hardship) on you in
religion.
It is the faith of your father Abraham (Peace-Be-Upon-Him) (is yours). It is He (Allah) Who named you Muslims, both before and in this
(Scripture), that
the Messenger may be witness against you, and that you may be witness
against
mankind. So establish regular Prayer (Worship), pay the poor due
(Charity), and
hold fast to Allah. He (Allah) is your Protecting Friend. A blessed
Patron and
a blessed Helper. [Al_Quraan_022.078]
(Don’t
Call yourself Shiaa, Sunnee, Berelvee, Deubandee,
Ahle-Hadees etc, Just call yourself Muslims, since Allah
named you as Muslims)
Either
You are with the United
Prayers in
