Question:
IN islam it is said that UMMAH should be united.A person who is dividing UMMAH is sinner.At the other point there is always a fight between AHEL SUNNAH AND WAHABIS.The deviants are wahabis and AHLE sunnat they are descendants of non muslims converted to islam.So what should we do?? at one point it is said ALLAH & PROPHET S.A.W.W dislike UMMAH diving..and other is this deviants…
Answer:
The Ummah cannot be united on falsehood; only on truth. The Holy Prophet (s) said, “`alaykum bis-sawad al-`azham, keep to the majority.” And as you said, those who divide the Ummah are sinners. Therefore let the Wahabis stop dividing the Ummah, for they are committing a great sin.
As to non-believers converting to Islam, the Sahaba, before Islam, were non-believers and idolaters, who then converted to Islam and they became the best of mankind after the prophets and messengers, therefore that is no criteria to judge.
Fighting and division occurred, as Sayyidina Muhammad (s) predicted it would from the beginning of the Ummah; it is impossible to stop that, just as it is impossible to stop shaytan from continuing to plague the Ummah. True unity will only come by the authority of a sultan, who has power to enforce the truth. Therefore our mashaykh have taught us that in this time, when tryants prevail, the most important thing we can do as weak human beings with no power, is to pray for a change, asking Allah to send over the believers and the Muslims a sultan to rule them with Divine authorization and according to Shari`atullah.
