The Need for Islamic Unity

Source:
Islamic Unity, in the Light of Speeches of the Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Hazrat Ayatullah al-Uzma Sayyid Ali Khamenei
Compiled by Hujatul Islam wal Muslimeen Ali Khaliqpur


Hazrat Ayatullah Uzma Sayyid Ali Khamenei (may Allah shower His grace upon him) while declaring the unity among Muslims as compulsory, think about disunity a kind of disease that has brought weakness and flaw into existence and only the unity can prove antidote to the fetal.
His Highness thinks the unity as a means to achieve all the major objectives. This is the reason that even the people who are always busy in designing plots for creating division in the world of Islam, they too seek unity from those who have same opinion (although they are always engaged in creating differences amongst Muslim Ummah).

The Division is the root cause for all problems of Muslims
Islam prevails over all aspects of life and it is a lifeline, remedy, way of solution and emancipation for all major affairs of human life. However, today the Muslims are held under sufferings, which we may call the mother of all sufferings i.e. disunity. Today we Muslims are not following the instructions of holy Quran

æóÇÚúÊóöãõæÇ ÈöÍóÈúáö ÇááøٰÀö ÌóãöیúÚÇð æøóáÇ ÊóÝóÑøóÞõæÇ

“Holdfast the covenant of Allah” or the advice of Prophet of Islam (S.A.W)
æóáÇó ʘõæäõæÇ ˜óÇáøóÐöیúäó ÊóÝóÑøóÞõæÇ æÇÎóÊóáóÝõæÇ

“Don’t be among those who discord and disunion”. The weakness of Islamic world is because of this discord and disunity. The prolonged weakness of Muslims today is also because of this separation. In every period there has been some disease existing and in present times the real disease of Muslims is absence of unity. You are observing that the centre of Imperialistic world in a crystal clear way and openly is taking stand against Islam. It faces Islam. These people are against Islam and are its enemies, because they know it very well that Islam possesses one fifth part of the world population and occupies a particular region of the world. It possesses the major sources of wealth and inherits the treasure of science and knowledge. It can establish a strong foothold against the global Imperialism by concentrating upon its possible resources of power and obviously this kind of strong and eternal power is unacceptable to global imperialism. There can be no reason of enmity besides this for them.
If Islamic Ummah would benefit well from its petro and human resources, industries, science and from myriad of its material and ethical resources, the superpowers and imperialists cannot impose their hegemony and domination upon them. You may observe that how far the atrocities of global imperialism are openly and disgracefully being inflicted upon Palestinian nation. A nation itself is suppressed by the usurpers at its own land. They are being suppressed in such a way that their rights are being violated, they are being killed, their right of living is being violated, their houses are being destroyed, their fields are being damaged, their business is being shuttered, their potentials and talents are being suppressed, and they are being deprived from possibilities of their progress and development. Their women, children and young people are constantly being massacred and some countries of global imperialism are supporting all this and some are lip tight. The world of Islam is also among the spectators. It is such a spectator who is impartial too. It is a great catastrophe for Islamic world. The reason behind this is also weakness of Islamic world and the difference found in it. We should accept the fact that the secret behind our power among the great community of Muslims is in the hearts of this great Ummah. We should accept this fact that it is these people who are making us to oppose each other and are keeping us busy under different pretexts. They are making us suspicious about each other, involve us in religious conflicts and keep us busy by creating regional and national issues. They are misusing our disunity and differences. It is a great misfortune for us in the present scenario, which can be described as a great catastrophe.

Adding Fuel to the Enmity – A Fatal Disease of Islamic Ummah
Our prime issue in the Islamic world is Islamic unity. If we overpower the excuses of enemy and may thwart his plots that he designs for creating division, most of our perplexities would be removed. This is one of the foremost troubles of Islamic world which can be put to an end. We are held in most terrible disease which is to be removed. Creating of division, disunity and to fuel the enmity in the Islamic world is a terrible disease and I would like to say that if this disease would have been there naturally in the past in the body of Islamic Ummah and Islamic world then today it is rigorously being intensified by the political elements. Its examples are being witnessed openly in the Islamic world that terrifies a man. We never get frightened by the external enemy. America and other arrogant forces till now have not been successful in getting us terrified. Their military invasions based on enmity and their political and propagation and military and economic sanctions have not been successful in deserting us and in future they are not in a position to do so. But we get terrified and horrified by the disease found in the Islamic world itself. It is to be checked.

The Global Imperialism is trying its Utmost in Creating Division among Muslims
In this friendly atmosphere, I would like to emphasize more upon the importance of the issue of unity. We don’t want to say that this is very essential and important for Islamic Republic; however, for Islamic Republic, there is no doubt in its significance. In fact it is most important for Islam and Islamic world. You may appreciate, today the world is divided into many parts, i.e., in a corner of the world some countries get united with each other in accordance to some petty relativities, simply because no one in this world can fulfill the needs of his country for example the defensive needs of his country at its own level. Therefore, it needs unity and cooperation. Although, the governments and the powers governing the world make unity and cooperation under the strategies and policies of the government, but all the efforts of the imperialistic world are being utilized for weakening and creating division and differences among the nations particularly the Islamic Ummah.

The Islamic World today is in need of Unity
Today what I emphasize is that amongst the first and foremost duties of we Muslims is the matter of unity and cooperation. Islamic unity is the need of the hour. However, the elements of differences do exist too; therefore there is a need to overpower these elements. No major objective is achieved without constant efforts. The unity among Muslims too cannot be achieved without pains and efforts. It is our obligation that we should try to bring unity in the world of Islam. This unity can resolve various complications. This unity can bring dignity and honour to the Islamic societies and nations. You see what the situation of Islamic countries is. Today you are witnessing the situations of Muslims, who population consist one fourth of the world population. What a pitiable and poor influence they have over the world politics in comparison to alien powers and the powers with nefarious designs.
