In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Perfect Unity of Ummah
By Irshad Mahmood - Director, Siraat-al-Mustaqeem Dawah Centre
Look
how badly this Ummah is facing record breaking disasters like Tsunami,
Earthquake, Flood, Cruel Ruler, enemies within etc., one of the reason
is many sects among us. It is time to Globally Reformation of Muslim
Ummah. BUT we cannot Globally Reform the Ummah, unless we do Locally
Reformation of Ummah to establish True Deen-e-Ibrahim in the light of
the Quraan without any discrimination and without any compulsion.You Might be the barrier (road blocker) preventing people from coming towards Islaam, if you are not Perfectly United:As per Sheikh Steve Rockwel a student of Sheikh Ahmed Dedaat on Saturday 10-NOV-2007
on Call of the Minaret program on Vision TV in Toronto, ON, Canada.
Recently a big group of Japanese people were just about to embrace
Islaam BUT when they saw the two groups in Islaam, one
Indian-Pakistani-Bangladeshi Origin (Hanafee followers) and the other
of Indonesian-Malaysian origin (Shaffaee followers), they got confused
and changed their mind. Please stop dividing Deen and become bridges
for those who want to embrace Deen by joining to perfect unity of the
Ummah to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim.Locally Reformation of Muslim Ummah:Key
Point on Locally Reforming this Ummah is NOT to divide ourselves even
for any single issue and leave the Community. Yes Five Fingers are not
equal, but it doesn't mean we have to leave the Community. That is the
Key point when Shaitaan can enter into our heart and breakup into
sects. Even if someone is agree on only one issue, BISMILLAH and Jazaak
Allah Khair for him / her to join the Unity. We need to remember the
following Ayaat.As
for those who Divide their Religion and break up into Sects, thou hast
NO part (Not Muslim any More) in them in the least: their affair is
with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they
did, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006:159).Sayyid
Abul A’la Maududi the GREAT Scholar of the Time and the founder of
Jamaat-e-Islami, started going for election, BUT perhaps he didn’t warn
the Muslim Ummah that those who don’t vote to the Islaamic Party may be
out of Islaam in front of Allah. How can a Muslim be a Muslim and do
not support the Islamic Party to bring True Islaamic System (Khilafa)
peacefully? For details please visit http://www.al-islamforall.org and http://www.jamaat.org, and perhaps forgot to tell that there is NO Compulsion in Religion
…, (Ref: Al_Quraan_002:256), and might have started forcing people by
taking laws in their own hand instead of doing Dawah with wisdom and
leaving the rest on Governments.And
obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute among yourselves, for
then you will be weak in hearts and your power will depart, and be
patient; surely Allah is with the patient, (Ref: Al_Quraan_008.046).General
Public is now very confused and don't know where to go and what to do,
so many of them started giving vote to Non-Islaamic Party. The blame
goes back to many Islaamic Party, who are they still Dispute and there
Powerful Strength is Weaken. Remember Vote is also a testimony. Yes all
Islaamic Party must reform themselves now before it gets too late.
General Public must support the one to whom they understand that they
are sincerely promising to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim. This way at least
General Public may get relief on this issue on the day of Judgment.
Allah knows the best.O you who believe! be careful of your duty to Allah and be with the true ones, (Ref: Al_Quraan_009.119).Those
who get separated because of this voting issue, or those who never came
to join the voting system as well as those who are widely divided, they
need to realize that we are living in a Global Community, so willingly
or not willingly we need to go for voting system till we unite and
manage to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim. Think for an example, I live in
Canada, so I have to obey its federal as well as its provincial laws,
of course, I have to keep following my faith as well in my house and
where ever I go out. Similarly we need to follow Global Laws in this
NEW Global Village as well. By doing this, there is a clear sign that
we might achieve our goal and be able to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim, and
as an example, in the province of NWFP, Pakistan, they were able to
locally established some laws of Deen-e-Ibrahim and still far to go.
This thing proves that there is a peaceful way through present
Democracy to change the whole system into TRUE Deen-e-Ibrahim, BUT
before that we need to educate the Ummah. Below are few steps, which I
understand is good to follow.First step for Locally Reformation starts from Education.
First Educate yourself, then your family and friends Immediately and
don't delay. Now you don't have any choice left other than to educate
yourself, since the fast growing scientific communication is widely
available. Many information are available easily including just for
FREE. Many Muslims are doing FREE Dawah only for the sake of Allah.Second Step is to Reform your home according to establish Deen-e-Ibrahim Immediately and don't delay.Third Step is to Reform your local community according to Deen-e-Ibrahim Immediately and don't delay.Globally Reformation of Ummah:Globally
Reforming this Ummah is NOT too different from Local one, and after
Local Reformation we need to work for Global Reformation, in very
similar fashion.Help those who are working for the Reformation of Muslim Ummah:It
is your duty to help those who are working for the Reformation of
Muslim Ummah Locally and Globally in a peaceful manner. First look at
around your local community and start educating them in the peaceful
way. Then follow the steps of Local and Global Reformation of Muslim
Ummah as mentioned above.O you who believe! be careful of your duty to Allah and be with the true ones, (Ref: Al_Quraan_009.119).Education is the First Key to Open the Lock:Remember:
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan in India started educating local Muslims and build
Alighar School, which later became University. That was the key for the
success of Muslim Ummah in those local area. So start Educating Muslim
Ummah now before it gets too late.Read
in the name of your Lord Who created. He created man from a clot. Read
and your Lord is Most Honorable, Who taught (to write) with the pen.
Taught man what he knew not, (Ref: Al_Quraan_096.001-096.005).Allah wants us to UNITE IMMEDIATELY so Don’t Delay:And
(remember, O children of Israel) when We made a covenant with you and
caused the Mount to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast that which We
have given you, and remember that which is therein, that you may ward
off (evil), (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.063).
If
Muslims fear Allah and sincerely and actively work together to Unite,
Inshaa Allah, time will come and we all will be United, Inshaa Allah.
In the past, may be due to lack of communications people divided into
sects. May be due to unavailability of Books and Materials, it was
difficult to remember every things by heart. Thanks to our Ulemaas, who
work hard, at least provided good knowledge to us, to keep us as
Muslim. I am proud of many Islamic Scholars and Ulemaas, who sincerely
transferred as much knowledge as they could in the past, in difficult
time and when it was hard to do communications. It is human nature to
forget things. May be one Scholar forgets something in the past and the
other Scholar forgets some other things and causes dividing into sects.
Now is the Really time to Get United Effectively and Sincerely for the
Love of Allah and Allah only.Generally
people learn from their parent and society or sect and he believes
that, what he is doing is right. Because of these problems, he is so
rigid and never ever thinks to change himself. Let us see what Allah
says in the Quraan about them.Blind Faith:When
they are told to follow the (Revelation) that has sent down, they say:
nay, we shall follow the ways that we found our fathers (following).
What if it is Satan beckoning them to the Penalty of the (Blazing)
Fire, (Ref: Al_Quraan_031.021).Think
again, why we Muslims are still behaving like blinds and why Allah's
anger is on the rise on Muslims. Disasters are coming one after another
like Tsunami, Earthquake, Flood, Cruel Ruler etc. and destroying us,
one group at a time and who knows next will be yours. It is only the
concept that I am right. Islaam spread from Makkah al-Mukarramah (مكة المكرمة) to the rest of the world and not the other way.Take
an example, if a new person becomes Muslim, from northwest (ALASKA,
USA) or south west (Argentina) or North East (Japan) or South East (New
Zealand or Australia), what method of worship he should follow??? Why
are we creating so many confusions to new Muslims??? When will we open
our eyes???In
India, Pakistan, and Iran we have Shiaa, Sunnee, Berelvee, Deubandi,
Ahle-Hadees and much more. Every group saying they are really following
the Quraan and every group is giving clear reference from the Quraan.Where should this new Muslim go to learn the method of worshiping, India, Pakistan, or Iran???My suggestion will be to go to Makkah al-Mukarramah ( مكة المكرمة),
the Center of the world Land wise. and obviously the Center of Islaam
to Learn the One Global Worshipping Method from the people of Makkah,
who are following Imaam Hambali.I
believe that Allah has to keep the religion Islaam till the day of
judgment and there will be no new religion. I also believe that Allah
is one, Rasool Allah(Peace-Be-Upon-Him) is one, the Quraan is one and
so the worshiping method is one.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
Hmbali (one of the four Imaam) and of course following the Quraan, for
the Unity of Muslim? Is there anything wrong in it? If you are not
coming to this unity, then maybe you are the main problem we are facing
in Uniting the Muslim Ummah, if there is nothing wrong on this unity.According
to your methodology, will the followers of Imaam Hambali go to hell? If
not, why don’t you join to follow Imaam Hambali for the Perfect Unity
of Muslim Ummah. This is the key point on Uniting Muslim Ummah.Allah wants us to be United Perfectly:If
you DIFFER in anything (Faith, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc.)
amongst yourself, then REFER to Allah and his Messenger, if you really
believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable
for determinations, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.059).Weather
you believe or not, our Foundation (Worshipping Method) is widely
divided into several sects. Not only every group, believing on, that
they are right, BUT every person practically believe that he is right,
and perfect, so he is acting accordingly.Check
your Faith, Kalimah, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc (Every Act
including Worship). Think again, why you are different from other
Muslims. First see yourself, may be you are not Correct.Only
No Innovations, No Additions or Subtractions in our Faith, Kalimah,
Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, Hajj, etc. will brought us to Perfect Unity.Cross Marriage between Arabs and Non-Arabs might be very helpful to come closer.Dividing into Sects:If
you are missing any single commandments (Faith, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat,
Hajj, etc.) of Allah and thinking that is ok, think again, since
perhaps you might by starting another new sects and dividing Deen-e-Ibrahim.As
for those who Divide their Religion and break up into Sects, thou hast
NO part (Not Muslim any More) in them in the least: their affair is
with Allah. He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they
did, (Ref: Al_Quraan_006.159).
Because of divisions among Ummah many countries have been destroyed e.g. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and many more are on the line of destructions
e.g. Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, Qatar. Remember: others don’t look at us
like Shia or Sunni rather Muslims and their hidden secret agenda is to
wipeout Muslims by all means. United Nations is mostly silent on ethnic
cleansing of Muslims wherever it is going on.
Number of Muslims killed in the last 20 years = More than 2 million
Number of Muslim Refugees = 59.9 million
Number of illiterates in the Muslim world = 43 percent.
Number of people living below the poverty line = 60 percent
With
destruction Ummah, millions of dream destroyed, millions of lives were
shattered, and millions lost the will to live and the debates among
Muslim scholars and communities are:
Is it right for men to give triple talaq to their wives at once?
Should moon be actually sighted or can we trust Allah's system of the lunar cycle?
Can a woman lead the prayer?
Can non-Muslims be allowed to visit Masjids?
Can a copy of the Quraan be given to non-Muslims?
Can a menstruating woman visit the masjid and sit inside the masjid?
How much hair a Muslim woman can show when wearing the hijab?
How many dates one should eat during iftar?
Can eight (8) rakas of taraweeh be preferred over twenty (20) rakas?
How to declare Shias Kafir?
How to declare Sunnis kafir?
How to declare anyone who does not agree with my interpretation of Islam as a deviant?
How to put down those who disagree with me?
What is the status of those who do not know how to recite the Quran with proper tajwed?
How many items were served on the iftar party?
How big the iftar parties are in the Muslim world?
IT'S A SHAME ON OUR Muslim LEADERS & Religious SCHOLARS and educated Muslims.
SUNNIS, SHIAS, BERELVIS, MAULIDIS and WAHABIS etc., Must Wakeup Now before it gets too late:
What
have the Muslim Leaders & Religious Scholars and Educated Muslims
done to Sit Down & Iron out the differences amongst all of us..!!
Why can't they put aside their Pride - For Allah's Sake, and clearly
see that the differences were, have & continue to be Mischief from
Iblis, the West & the Zionists to create Jealousy, Pride &
Fitna so that MUSLIM'S stay divided.
Oh People, wake up. This is ALL a plot by the Western World & the Zionists to "DIVIDE & RULE":
UNITE UMMAH - DON'T DIVIDE US INTO OBLIVION - Read the Quraan with understanding/translation and follow it in sprit.
*WAKE UP Oh Ummah,
One Nation (Millat) following One Religion (Islaam) and one worshiping
Method*. Look at 1.4 Billion Chines Unity leading the world, BUT 1.8
Billion Ummah Divided and being wipeout.
Desiring a religion other than Islaam:O
you 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, (Ref: Al_Quraan_005.054).If
anyone desires a religion OTHER than Islaam (Submission to Allah),
NEVER will it be accepted of him: and in the Hereafter he will be in
the rank of those who have LOST (their selves in the hell of fire),
(Ref: Al_Quraan_003.085).Change yourself NOW Before it gets Too LATE:Verily Allah will never change the condition of a people until they (first) change it themselves, (Ref: Al_Quraan_013.011).And if you turn away, Allah will exchange you for some another people, and they will not be like you, (Ref: Al_Quraan_047.038).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; (Ref: 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)If
you DIFFER in anything (Faith, Salaat, Sayaam, Zakaat, etc.) amongst
yourself, then REFER to Allah and his Messenger, if you really believe
in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for
determinations, (Ref: Al_Quraan_004.059).Enter into Islaam Completely (Perfectly, 100%), (Ref: Al_Quraan_002.208).May Allah UNITE all Muslims, AMEEN:
If you will Unite in one Day, Allah help may come after one Day, Inshaa Allah.If you will Unite in one Week, Allah help may come after one Week, Inshaa Allah.If you will Unite in one Month, Allah help may come after one Month, Inshaa Allah.If you will Unite in one Year, Allah help may come after one Year, Inshaa Allah.If you will Unite in one Century, Allah help may come after one Century, Inshaa Allah.If you will Unite Verbally, Allah help may come Verbally, Inshaa Allah.If you will Unite Practically, Allah help may come Practically, Inshaa Allah.REMEMBER: To Establish True Deen-e-Ibrahim, we need Good & Effective Planning as well.
Non-Practicing Muslims are like ASS / Donkey carrying books, (Ref: Al_Quraan_062.005).None argue concerning the revelations (Ayaat) of Allah but those who disbelieve …, (Ref: Al_Quraan_040.004).
