Dear brothers, the need of a united ummah has always been a\nnecessity, from the advent of Islam to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allah SWT advises us of this in the Quran and the imam\nreferenced this in today\u2019s reminder through the 103rd<\/sup> ayat of Sura\nAl-Imran which is translated to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n And hold firmly to the rope of\nAllah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favour of Allah\nupon you – when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you\nbecame, by His favour, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire,\nand He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you\nmay be guided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside this we have the Prophet SAWS having taught us\nthis important point which is captured in many ahadith. One of which was mentioned\ntoday which is translated to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “None amongst you believes\n(truly) until he loves for his brother” – or he said “for his\nneighbour” – “that which he loves for himself.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear brothers, we are in a time and a place where the focus\nis the opposite of what we were put here for. Whereas once the focus of man was\non his Creator, his Afterlife and his Soul, the focus these days is on the\nCreation, this world and the Physical self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This skewed focus has resulted in a competitive nature in\nwhich man competes with one another and the essence of brotherhood is lost. The\nProphet SAWS warned us of this and the hadith on this is translated to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beware of envy because envy\nconsumes (destroys) the virtues just as the fire consumes the firewood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear brothers, we should be supporting one another more than\never before. We should stand in the face of the norm of competing and trying to\noutdo one another. As the Prophet SAWS told us: <\/p>\n\n\n\n A faithful believer to a faithful\nbeliever is like the bricks of a wall, enforcing each other.” While\n(saying that) the Prophet (\ufdfa) clasped his hands, by interlacing his fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And so, we conclude today\u2019s reminder with another priceless\nlesson taught to us by the Prophet SAWS. These 6 pieces of advice in themselves\nis both something that is pleasing to Allah SWT but alongside that, done with\nsincerity, it promotes brotherhood in one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear brothers, the need of a united ummah has always been a necessity, from the advent of Islam to the present day.
