Allah Has Commanded Muslims to be United, Unity is a Religious Obligation

In the Qur’an Allah commanded Muslims to be united and to  love each other and consider like  brothers from the same parents, to be compassionate, forgiving and protective towards each other and to strictly avoid being dispersed, separated and fragmentized.

All Muslims are brothers and a single community

This nation of yours is one nation and I am your Lord, so worship Me.  But they disagreed and split into different sects. Each one will return to Us. (Surat al-Anbiya, 92-93)

Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate. Remember Allah’s blessing to you when you were enemies and He joined your hearts together so that you became brothers by His blessing. You were on the very brink of a pit of the Fire and He rescued you from it. In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will be guided. (Surah Al-I Imran, 103)

The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and have fear of Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (Surat al-Hujurat, 10)

Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel among yourselves lest you lose heart and your momentum disappear. And be steadfast. Allah is with the steadfast. (Surat al-Anfal, 46)

Those who are unbelievers are the friends and protectors of one another. If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption. (Surat al-Anfal, 73)

Allah commands all Muslims to unite and wage an intellectual struggle against irreligion

What reason could you have for not fighting in the Way of Allah – for those men, women and children who are oppressed and say, ‘Our Lord, take us out of this city whose inhabitants are wrongdoers! Give us a protector from You! Give us a helper from You!’? (Surat an-Nisa, 75)

Struggle with them until there is no more corruption and the religion is Allah’s alone. If they stop, Allah sees what they do, (Surat an-Anfal, 39)

..those who, when they are wronged, defend themselves. (Surat ash-Shura, 39)

Allah loves those who struggle in His Way in ranks like well-built walls. (Surat as-Saff, 4)

There have been twelve months with Allah in the Book of Allah, from the day He first created the heavens and earth. Four of them are forbidden. That is the True Religion. So do not wrong one another during them. However, struggle with the idolaters totally just as they struggle with you totally, and know that Allah is with those who guard against evil. (Surat at-Tawba, 36)

As it is clear from these verses and the Qur’an in general;

•It is obligatory for Muslims,

•To unite,

•To be attached to one another with a brotherly love and compassion

•Not to be in conflict,

•To be the friends and guardians of one another,

•To protect and watch one another under all conditions,

•To constantly consult one another,

•To struggle scientifically against disbelief in ranks like well-built walls with one’s Muslim brothers

In this case it is unlawful to assume a contrary attitude, that is;

•To be separative rather than to be unitary, 

•Not to approach one’s Muslim brothers with love and compassion,

•Not to be forgiving and protective against Muslim brothers,

•Not to struggle against disbelief in the intellectual sense, not to be like well-built walls with other Muslims.
