The First and Foremost Slogan of Muslim Ummah must be the Slogan of Unity

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
The Islamic unity has been hampered today by the religious, national, and ethnic and nationalistic slogans in different nations and also by other deviating slogans and by creating division.
The Muslims should give preference to the slogans that are based on unity and harmony than other slogans vis-ร -vis national, religious or political. This is most constructive slogan for them in the present scenario. We know that the imperialists and arrogant and alien powers have tried their utmost to axe this unity by different excuses and one of the most tragic pretext is occupation of Palestinian lands i.e., planting the tree of evil in the heart of Islamic countries namely Zionism.
The second aspect too is morally oriented too. When the imperialists came they looted our wealth, our oil, our sovereignty, our dignity and honour and our unity and harmony. Simultaneously, they looted our morality too and they spread the trap of materialism under different cultures and false rules. Today the slogan of Muslims should be based on revitalization of Islamic morality, truth and religious spirituality. Muslims need it today. If we were united today and would had trust over Islamic morality, the enemy wouldnโt have been in a position to inflict atrocities openly over Palestinian nation by way of pressure, torture and oppression. The plight of Palestine makes all the sympathizing human hearts to weep and makes one restless, though one is not more religious.
Is there anybody who would dare to watch the heartrending scene of burial procession of two year baby and have a peaceful dream? Is there anyone who is not distressed to see that people, whose ancestors lived centuries ago there even decade in their graves, are under siege in their own houses, lanes, roads and cities? Today the people have been captivated in Baytul-Maqdis, al-Khalil, Gaza and other regions of usurped lands. People are being massacred in their own houses. The parents are made to mourn for their children even in their homes. They are being left for starvation and economic sanctions are being imposed upon them.
If the Islamic powers would have been united, was all this possible? It is imperative upon all Muslim nations and governments that they should unite for this purpose.
Unity for Domination and Service of Islam
Hazrat Ayatullah Uzma Sayyid Ali Khamenei instructs those who are longing for unity that it should be for the domination and supremacy of Islam. In other words whatever His Excellency has made a mention about the subjects and reminders based on requirement of unity, these need to be moved as objectives and motives towards unity, otherwise merely Islamic unity cannot serve the purpose.
There are two basic aspects about Unity which are very important. When we raise the slogan of unity we have to focus on two main aspects which can prove useful in the practical life of Muslims. These two aspects are putting an end to all those differences, conflicts and violations which are being found from centuries among different sects of Muslims up till now and these differences have always hampered the Muslims. The second aspect is that this unity should be utilized in the services and domination of Islam; otherwise it may end with no outcome and output. The Islamic scholars agree with the fact that Quran has said:
 รฆรณรฃรณร รรณรรบรรณรกรบรครณร รฃรถรครบ รรณรรตรฆรบรกรฒ รรถรกรธรณร รกรถیรตรรณรรบรรณ รรถรรรบรครถ รรกรกรธٰรรถ 
โWe did not send any messenger but to be obeyed by Godโs permissionโ. 4:64
The Prophets (S.A.W) had not come only that they may advise people and may utter things and people may do their own business and only respect them; instead they have come so that people may following them. They have come for guidance of the society and life. They have come to guide human beings towards the objectives of life and establishment of system. If Islamic scholars agree with the fact that the noble Quran says:
รกรณรรณรรบ รรณรรบรรณรกรบรครณร รรตรรตรกรณรครณร รรถรรกรบรรณیรถรธรครณรรรถ รฆรณรรณรครบรรกรบรครณร รฃรณรรณยชรตรฃรต รรกรบหรถรรณรรรณ รฆรณรรกรบรฃรถیรบรรณรรครณ รกรถیรณรรตรฆรตรฃรต รรกรครธรณรรรต รรถรรกรบรรถรรบรรถ
โIndeed We sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Scale that people might establish themselves in justiceโ. 57:25
The restoration of justice and peace and eradication of tyranny and injustice and also establishment of truthful life for human being is the objective of religions. Therefore one has to go ahead for Islamic domination and the Islamic domination is a possible affair in the countries and also in Islamic societies. If the scholars, thinkers and intellectuals and the responsible personalities of the Islamic countries, societies and nations, who are making efforts for the unity if follow the path of Islam, it will be a successful move. But if it is not so and they may bow before oppressors and tyrants and infidels and incompetent rulers, obviously there is no guarantee for any unity.
