Encouraging Muslim Unity
Encouragement to Unity of the Muslims and Condemning Splitting and Differing” by Imam ibn Saadi
Hold fast to the deen of Allah
We have the best example in the Prophet (ﷺ)
Obeying people of authority | Resolve a dispute between Muslims
Evil outcome of disputes, hatred and boycotts among believers
Great benefits from uniting Muslims together
For Muslims, it is part of the religion to maintain unity and avoid anything that leads to hatred or boycotts towards each other
Verily Allah said: Whoever shows enmity to a Wali (pious worshiper) of Mine, I declare war against him
People of knowledge about ikhtilaf – differences of opinion on religious matters
People of knowledge stay on Al-Haqq and do not call others deviant if they have a different opinion
Faida (benefits) from the Risala (message/ book)
Conclusion. Allah is the One Who unites the hearts of believers if they have a strong iman
