12. Sympathy for Those Who Do Not See the Light



*1. *Definitions: Orders and Facts in the Quran

The Quran, the authentic book of God, has many orders and facts. Allah gives
orders to believers, such as

(22:78) *"So Establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast
to Allah! He is your Protector"*

*(3:103**) "And** hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah
(stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves*;"

Devout Muslims take orders from Allah very seriously. When they listen to an
order from Allah, they say "We hear, we obey" (2:286)

 Allah States many facts in the Quran, such as:

(21:92)"*Verily, this Ummah of yours is a single Ummah, and I am your Lord
and Cherisher, therefore, Serve me (and no other)*."

(23:52)* "*And verily, this Ummah of yours is a single Ummah, and I am your
Lord and Cherisher, therefore, Fear me (and no other)."

Devout Muslims appreciate and respect the facts of the Quran, and consider
them as guidance in life.

 When verses are repeated in the Quran, they carry much importance and
emphasis.

The silent majority of Muslims believe in Unity of Muslim Ummah, but the
chiefs are adamant about rejecting that for* *very obvious reasons.



2. Definition of Muslims

The definition of a Muslim can be understood according to the *hadeeth *of
Jibreel AKA, more popularly known as the '*Hadeeth* Jibreel', as narrated by
Umar Ibn Al Khattab, when Jibreel asked the Messenger of Allah about Islam,
he answered " Islam is that you witness that there is no god but Allah and
that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and you establish the prayer, and
you give the Zakat, and you fast Ramadan, and you perform the hajj of the
House if you are able to take a way to it."

All Muslims agree on principal matters in Islam. The Foundation of Islam is
Shahadah as a declaration of faith. Muslims have one Quran, one Kaabah, and
one last prophet. They accept all messengers in the Quran. They pray 5 times
a day, fast Ramadan, pay Zakat, and perform Hajj when they can. There are 8
accepted Mazhab (school of thoughts) in Fiqh (jurisprudence). Every Muslim
is free to accept a Mazhab. All Imams of accepted Mazhab never rejected
other Mazhab. Allah made the Quran and Islam simple, but some people exert
much effort to make them hard and confusing.



*3.* Unity of the Ummah

Unity of Ummah is a primary and important goal that we must strive for, and
there is a serious warning from Allah for those who create division among
Muslim.

*(*6:159) "*As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects,
thou hast no part in them in the least*"

But our reality is we are divided into 57 nations, and most of them are
divided further into tribes. Allah says there are no sects in Islam, but we
have Sunni and Shiah sects. Against the orders of Allah, some Muslims
believe their sect, country, or tribe is more important than Islam.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international
organization grouping 57 countries which attempt to pool their resources
together, combine their efforts, and speak with one voice to safeguard the
interests and secure the progress and well-being of their peoples and of all
Muslims in the world. OIC is a great first step; however representatives of
OIC are from Muslim governments who do not necessarily agree on matters of
vital importance.

There is also an urgent need for association of Muslim scholars from all
Muslim counties that settles dividing religious issues between Muslims. In
the absence of Khilafah, this association should strive to bring unity and
harmony between Muslims. They should meet frequently because Muslims are
facing many problems.



*4. *Assume first that you are wrong

Assume first that you, not your Muslim Brother, may be wrong, and see
how you find the truth impartially. If you really want to

find the truth, you can ask an Islamic scholar, or read accepted books.



*5. *Manners for Disagreement

You should be as enthusiastic about listening to your brother's
evidence and argument as you are giving your evidence and

argument, and be pleasant and smiling whether the result is for you or
against you.

In those areas where differences may arise due to ijtihad but will lead to
disharmony, it is the right of the Khalifah to adopt an opinion which
