وحدة الأمة: التحديات والحلول

Abstract

Unity of the nation in Islam is the foundation of building the Islamic society, and it is a proven fact according to the Quran and Hadith. Muslims consolidated their state during the era of the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - and after that, and the basis of this strength was Islamic unity. The enemies of Islam realized this strength, so they wanted to tear it apart, so they adopted methods and ways to destroy it. Among the challenges facing Islamic unity are the intellectual invasion of Muslims, and the incitement of division and conflict among them. Muslims helped them in this with their fanaticism, ignorance, weakness, and preoccupation with worldly pleasures and their abandonment of their religion, so the nation was dispersed, weakened, and its enemies took advantage of it. The way out of division, conflict, and weakness is to go to the core of religion with sincerity, and without deviating to one sect over another. It is imperative to preserve the unity of the nation by rejecting differences, cooperating in what we agree upon, and forgiving each other in what we differed in. The objectives of this study include clarifying the concept of Islamic unity, clarifying the challenges facing Islamic unity, and explaining ways to achieve Islamic unity. In this research, I have followed the inductive and analytical approaches; by tracing the sources that clarify the reality of Islamic unity, the challenges it faces, analyzing the ways to achieve Islamic unity, and how to advance this nation. Among the results of this study: that among the challenges facing Islamic unity is the intellectual invasion of Muslims, and the incitement of division and conflict among them, and Muslims helped them in this with their fanaticism and ignorance. And that working to restore the Islamic Caliphate is a way to achieve Islamic unity.
