It is very important to have unity in the Ummah, and to achieve this goal
of unity it is incumbent that the whole Ummah has the correct and
preserved aqidah of the Salaf as-salihin (may Allah be pleased with them
all); since Allah will no doubt ask us about our aqidah if it is not in
conformity with the divine revelation and what his Messenger (Peace and
blessings be upon him) transmitted to us. The way of the Salaf as-salihin
is the way of the saved sect of the Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l Jama'ah. And we
should all know that the Jama'ah is the sect which has the most correct
and united aqid'ah out of all other Jama'ahs. To know what is the real
Jama'ah, one must look into the Qur'an and Hadith for evidence. If one was
to look deeply in to this matter with an open and scholarly mind, one will
come to the conclusion that this great Jama'ah is the one which is
composed of the foremost scholars of Qur'anic commentary, Hadith, fiqh and
other Islamic sciences; it is no doubt the Jama'ah which has had the
greatest following throughout Islamic history in terms of scholars and
laity, and this alone is the main body of Islam which represents the views
of the great mass of believers (as-Sawad al-Azam) as we shall see from the
Hadith evidence below. Let us now see what Allah ta'ala has said about
unity and schism in the Holy Qur'an.
Qur'anic Evidence
(1) Surah al-Imran (3:103):
"And hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of Allah and be not divided."
Imam Sayf ad-Din al-Amidi (d. 631/1233; Rahimahullah) said in his al-Ihkam
fi usul al-ahkam (The proficiency: on the fundamentals of legal rulings,
pg. 295) with regard to the above Qur'anic verse:
"Allah has forbidden separation, and disagreement with consensus (ijma) is
separation."
Hence, if Allah has forbidden separation then surely we must all unite on
the unanimously accepted aqid'ah of our pious predecessors. And I have
already quoted Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Haytami (Rahimahullah) as saying: "This
unanimity (in aqidah) was transmitted by the two great Imam's Abu'l Hasan
al-Ashari and Abu Mansur al-Maturidi (Allah's mercy be upon them) and the
scholars who followed their path."
Mahmoud Ayoub wrote in The Qur'an and Its Interpreters (vol. II, 275-6):
"Ibn Kathir (d. 774/1373; Rahimahullah) interprets the 'rope of God' in
verse 103 as 'The covenant of God,' citing in support of this
interpretation verse 112 below (in Surah al-Imran). Another view, he adds,
is that 'The rope of God' here refers to the Qur'an, as reported on the
authority of Ali (Allah be pleased with him) who said that 'The Qur'an is
God's strong rope and the straight way.' He cites another Hadith, on the
authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him), where the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) declared, 'The book of God is God's rope
stretched from heaven to earth.' Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud (Allah be pleased
with him) reported -that the Messenger of God (Peace be upon him) said,
'Surely this Qur'an is God's strong rope, manifest light, and beneficial
source of healing. It is protection for those who hold fast to it, and a
means of salvation for those who abide by it.'
Ibn Kathir interprets the injunction, 'and do not be divided' to mean
strict adherence to unity among Muslims. He reports on the authority of
Abu Hurayrah (Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (Peace be upon
him) said, 'God will be pleased with three acts from you, and wrathful
with three others. He wishes that you worship Him alone without
associating any thing with Him; that you hold fast all together to the
rope of God and be not divided; and that you show loyalty to those whom
God has set in authority.' (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, II, pp. 83-4)
Qurtubi (d. 671/1273; Rahimahullah) agrees with Tabari (d. 923 CE;
Rahimahullah) and Ibn Kathir regarding the meaning of 'the rope of God' in
verse 103. He cites with approval the famous traditionist Ibn al-Mubarak
(d. 181/797; Rahimahullah) who said, 'Surely unity is God's rope;
therefore hold fast all together to 'its firm handle' (see Qur'an 2:256).'
Qurtubi adds that 'God enjoins concord and forbids dissension, for in
disunity is perdition, and in unity salvation.'
Qurtubi offers two possible interpretations of the phrase 'And be not
divided':
'Be not divided in your religion as were the Jews and Christians divided
in their religions' and 'Be not divided in following different false
opinions and purposes. Rather, be brothers in God's religion.'
