There are no people in the world today who have been as divided as Muslims. They are divided along cultural, racial, linguistic, religious, political, ethnic and sectarian lines. These divisions extend further subdivisions. Fortune, wealth, status and fame have also created social differences among Muslims.
If we see religiously ,Muslims are divided into Sunnis and Shias. Sunnis are further divided into Hanafi, Malaki, Shaafai and Hanbali. Shias too are divided into Kesania, Zaidia ,Iamamia or Ithna ,Ismalia. ,Ashari etc.Sunnis are also divided into Ahle hadith and Ahle fiqha.And Ahle fiqha are further divided into Deobandis and Barelwis.
Is this what Islam and Quran taught us?With all these divisions and differences ,can we progress in this world? somewhere are religious divisions and somewhere are differences based on castes .Is this the way to prosper in this world?
Observing the present situation in which Muslums find themselves today, our Prophet (PBUH) soul must be feeling extremely restless.Because according to his teachings He clearly say that "and be like a body where if any part hurts the whole body should feel pain" But unfortunately there is no one like him today to lead us towards the right path and to guide guide muslims against the forces that are bent on destruction.
If we look at the global picture as a whole ,we find that the number of Muslims has grown steadily more then billion today. Muslims posses the richest resources of the world and the most fertile lands of the earth. Inspite of this how ironic is that the most vulnerable and dependent people on earth are also Muslims.
If we as Muslims compare ourselves with these clear verses of Quran ,then we have to come to only one conclusion that we are not among the Muslims which the Quran talks about .Majority of our hearts are not open and humble.We are only Muslims of words who are shut up in the recitation rooms for 10 to 15 minutes but actually does not the meaning of religion. We proudly call ourselves as muslims but in real we are not entitled to be called as muslim.We say we want to be martyr but when thousands of muslim are being killed today we are busy in our lives .Instead of feeling the pain and misery of other muslims such as Kashmiris ,Palestinians ,etc we are happily enjoying the material comforts of life.one thinks Is it going to have an end?
Let us pray to Allah to unite our hearts in the path of islam. its Allah s promise that if we do that then we will regain our dignity , power and glory.
