Warning against disassembly of Muslims

 

 

All praise be to Allah, we praise Him, seek His Help and Guidance, seek His Forgiveness and repent to Him.

 

We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and the evils of our actions. Whom Allah guides no one can mislead and whomever has been misled no one can guide.

 

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone who has no partner; who commanded people with cooperation, brotherhood, and forbade disputes and disagreements.

 

I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger who described the believers in their cohesion and cooperation with a solid building which its parts support one another.

 

May Allah send His Peace and Blessings on his Prophet, his family, and his Companions whom Allah praised and described as harsh for the infidels but merciful among themselves.

O servants of Allah, fear Allah (may He be Exalted), cooperate with one another in things that may reform your conditions, and be successful in this life and the life to come.

 

Forbid one another to cause harm or loss in this world and in the Hereafter. Behave yourself, act according to the instructions of Islam, and try to have the characteristics of the master of the universe, Prophet Muhammad, who commanded with cooperation and helping one another.

 

Our Prophet (peace be upon him) say: "A believer to a believer is like a solid build which its different parts support one another." [1] and he clasped between his fingers.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The similitude of the believers in their sympathy, mercy, and affection is like a body when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever."

A believer alone cannot resist evils or fight enemies, no matter how powerful he is, therefore he needs a helper and supporter to back him, in addition to an apparent force to terrify the enemies. Our Prophet (peace be upon him) described a believer as being a solid building that its different parts support one another; how beautiful and eloquent this description is! However powerful a building is, it is subject to fall because wind may shake it and because of the trucks passing by would move it, so a Muslim is always in disturbance and instability because of the shocks that may affect him.

 

However, if he cooperates with others and the Prophet (peace be upon him) clasped his fingers when he described the believers. So, he will not be affected by the shocks and strong wind because a connected house is like one block and as an established mountain that cannot be moved by wind, unlike the separate and shaken wall.

Thus, a believer is weak by his own but powerful with his brethren. Believers always cooperate, advise one another, and help one another to their public and private interests.

 

A believer should not be selfish and does not care only for himself and his private interests, leaning on his moral and physical power because he will not resist the effects and evils as well as enemies who surround him; a wolf does not eat of sheep but the straying one.

 

The believers' feeling with the pains of their brethren has a great effect in their coherence and solidarity, and support them to remain as one unit that cannot be shaken by currents and clashes as our Prophet (peace be upon him) told us: "The similitude of the believers in their sympathy, their mercy, and their affection is like a body."

O servants of Allah, evils encircle you and enemies are ambushing for you. The repulsion of the believers from the teachings of their religion and the morals of their Prophet made them easy prey for their enemies.

 

If they had been one body, the enemies could not have been able to eat them up, moreover, they would not have been able to think about eating them because of their coherence.

 

However, if they have been solid in regard of their religion, they would have chewed them then throw them out, but their division and their weakness opened the door to the aspirations of the enemies of Islam to reduce their status, therefore the enemies do not need power to invade them, but just cries and threatens to force them to subject to reality.

O servants of Allah, fear Allah in your selves and beware of disputes and disagreement about the worldly benefits which has become a demolishing factor for the Muslim power and a tool for causing disputes and rivalries in between.

Fear Allah in your selves, exchange advices, cooperate for righteousness and piety, and do not cooperate for sin and aggression.

Beware of dispersion and its causes and be true believers by being one body that each part aches for the other and be as a coherent building as the Prophet (peace be upon him) described you so as to restore your glory and your dignity.

Fear Allah; because it is the proper time to correct your positions, leave aside your disputes, check your conditions, and reform your corrupted matters.

 

Maintain the things which contain your glory and power by sticking to the instructions of your Lord. Allah says: "But honor, power and glory belong to Allâh, and to His Messenger (Muhammad peace be upon him), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not." [Surat Al Munafiqun: 8].

Allah (may He be Glorified and Exalted) says: "And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur'ân), and be not divided among yourselves, and remember Allâh's Favor on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islâmic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allâh makes His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided." [Surat Al `Imran: 103].

He says: "And do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage and your strength departs, and be patient. Surely, Allâh is with those who are As-Sâbirûn (the patient)." [Surat Al Anfal: 46].

May Allah bless the Glorious Qur'an for you and me, benefit you and me from its Ayahs, and may Allah forgive you and me for he is All-Repentant, All Merciful.

Let it be known that Muslims today were infected with multiple diseases which made them weak to fight their enemies and blocking their evils, and that is because of leaning to comfort, love for the world, and indulging into delights until their enemies conquered them in their homeland, scattered them, and arose disputes and disagreements among them.

 

So, they were engaged with themselves rather than their enemies and could not reform what happened because of their farness from their high religious instructions, engaging themselves in branches rather than fundamentals, indulging in the worldly life, and neglecting the duty of a Muslim toward his Muslim brother.

It is a disaster befell on Muslims and humiliated them at individual and congregational levels, and you shall not restore your power, glory, and dignity except when you go back to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him), sticking to the proprieties of Islam, and its morals.

 

Muslims have a good example in the Messenger of Allah and they have known the status and glory which they ancestors had, the nation shall not be good but by following the causes which the formers followed to be good.

So, O servants of Allah, fear Allah, go back to your piety and stick to the guidance of your Prophet; there is no good but he instructed you to follow and there is no evil but he warned you against.
