When Muslim Ummah Win? Call for Unity | Islamic Reminder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njf9NQafQxk The Islamic community throughout the world faces challenges, increasing daily and taking various shapes. They can be an economic blockade, an intervention into the ideology of Muslims, and many other problems, which can take very long to discuss. What is the purpose of this struggle against Islam? It is to take Muslims’ confession from them by weakening the Muslim community, influencing the ideology of Muslims, and separating Muslims from the values of Islam. The question is how to defend against the struggle? How can Muslims stand up against the world's aggression, which takes different forms? What should we do in this situation? There is only one way out for Muslims – to regain their former unity. Only when Muslims unite and become a united group, they will manage to stand up to anyone and anything. All Muslims must unite, with no exception, from the rulers up to each member of the Muslim communities that live on Earth. After all, Muslims today are one third of the total population of the globe. This is a huge number! If Muslims do not unite, no other methods, offered by some scholars or Islamic movements, will help to resist the world aggression. Unity can only be achieved if Muslims get away from unnecessary disputes among themselves, stop fueling a feud within the community, when Muslims will listen to Allah’s Ayah in the Qur'an, where He says: “ And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves”. Another Ayah says: “fall into no disputes, lest ye lose heart and your power depart.” Muslims might ask: “How can we regain the unity?” The path to it is in our hearts. It is those feelings that every one of us should have in his heart. It is the feeling that draws us to each other. It is not the shallow nice words, or the good gestures, we use for each other. First of all, it is the inner feeling, which does not need to be proved by outward actions, the feeling that binds us together. Unless we have this feeling in our hearts, no appeals and no attempts will help! The feeling that binds us to Allah must draw us together and to the brothers in the faith. We need to seek this feeling and strengthen it in our hearts. Otherwise, the unification of Muslims is unfeasible. This feeling must live in the heart of every Mu’min - it comes from Allah, it is a gift from the Almighty………..
