One Global Ummah

One Global Ummah

September 23, 2003 www.1924.org

 

There is no debate that the “War on Terrorism” equals a war on Islam and Muslims. US Vice President Dick Cheney made it very clear when he stated that the US is considering military or other action against "40 to 50 countries" and when he warned that the new war may last 50 years or more. So it is indeed a global war, led by America, Britain and their allies against this global Islamic Ummah.

 

We can see how America is utilising military tactics against the Ummah in the Muslim lands. However, what may not be so apparent are the implications of the “War on Terror” against the Muslims in the West. It would be a grave error for us to believe that the absence of a military attack against Muslims living in Europe or America means that there are no implications of the “War on Terror” for Muslims in the West. It is vital that we understand that the tactics used against the Muslims in the West are intellectual and not military.

 

This intellectual war against the Muslims is not a new style. These methods have been used since the time of Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). We may be familiar with the incident where the Jew, Abdullah Ibnu Sabah, created the fitnah between Uthman (ra) and Ali (ra).

 

One of the key concepts that the West wishes to implant in the minds of Muslims is that they are separate from the global Ummah.

 

The West’s preoccupation with the danger of global Muslim unity is not something that should come as a surprise to Muslims in the West. The then British Foreign Secretary made the West’s malicious agenda for the Muslims very clear in a speech before World War Two, when he stated the following:

 

“We must put an end to anything which brings about unity between the sons of the Muslim. As we have already succeeded in finishing off the Khilafah, so we must ensure that there will never arise again unity for the Muslims weather it be intellectual or cultural unity.”

 

The US journalist Sam Francis wrote on October 22, 2001:

 

“Most serious Christians and Jews would agree that they have no obligation to obey a nation or state that commands actions contrary to the laws of God, but most Christians and Jews in the United States don't feel the need to reach for that principle all the time or when we're in conflict with other, mainly Christian, states. If the Muslims who have invited themselves to this country do feel that need, they clearly aren't comfortable being here. Maybe they should go back where they belong as soon as possible, and if they don't, maybe the government and nation for which they feel so little attachment should encourage them.”

 

Integration, inter-faith dialogue, nationalism and fear of losing material interests or the benefits of status have been employed in many different ways to undermine the Muslims vision of one Global Ummah. One example can be seen in 1992 where Edward Djerejian, US Assistant Secretary of State during the Bush administration, outlined a strategy of compromise rather than confrontation to defeat the Muslims. Djerejian's recommendations included the following:

 

Use of the term ‘the Muslim countries’ rather than ‘world of Islam’ to shatter the sense of global unity. Provide books about Western values in languages of Muslim countries (Arabic, Urdu, Farsi) to indoctrinate the Ummah with pro-Western views. Make statements about religion which ‘emphasise common elements and values that unite Islam and Christianity’ and ' avoid divisive factors' to destroy Muslims distinct Islamic identity.

 

This desire to break the strength of the Muslims’ worldwide bond with each other has been a consistent feature through out the colonialist exploits of the West, as practiced in the ‘divide and rule’ campaigns waged in our lands.

 

President Bush gave his indirect ultimatum to American Muslims when he addressed the international community with his “War on Terror” plans hinting that only two types of citizens were possible - those that were “either with us or against us”.

 

With these words echoing around the globe, Muslims in the West became faced with the dilemma of loyalty to their fellow Islamic brothers and sisters who were being massacred by the ever increasing might of America’s terror war machine and loyalty to their host nation, be it Britain, France, USA or other Western nations.

 

The grave implications of not making the ‘right’ choice were hammered into the conscience of Muslims as arrests of Muslims citizens accused of treason or similar betrayal of their nation began to appear in the media. The US made suitable examples out of US born Yaser Esam Hamdi and John Walker Lindh, who were both captured and labelled as “enemy combatants” in Afghanistan whilst fighting US occupying forces. On the 31st of August 2002, CNN reported how Lindh has now asked Americans to forgive him for the crime of daring to support his fellow brothers in Islam. President Bush awarded his expression of devotion to the American nation by supporting a recommendation of a prison term of up to 20 years. Suitable deterrents to one global Ummah can be found in the arrests of many Muslims across Europe who are suspected of being sympathetic to Muslims in countries considered enemies of that person’s host nation.

 

It is essential that Muslims in the West realise the implications of the West’s “War on Terror” if we are not to find ourselves falling far short of the commands of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) and thus eligible for His (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) punishment.

 

The Kuffar are attempting to undermine the Hukm Shari governing the relationship of Muslims in the West with the rest of this global Ummah. They wish to create personalities who do not feel the pain or suffering of their fellow brothers or sisters in another part of the Muslim world. They wish to create a scenario, in which they will initiate aggression against the Ummah and expect the Muslims in the West to side and unite with the country that they live in. Essentially, the Kuffar desire that the Muslims of the West abandon all vision of working to unite the Ummah under one state, in order for us to accept the West as our homeland with the Kufr authority forever dominating and dividing us.

 

It is essential that we are aware that the Muslim Ummah is one global Ummah, even if we are from a variety of backgrounds or have linguistic differences. This is the reality of the Shari’ah obligation and any other viewpoint is invalid in the sight of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala). Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) said in Surah ale-Imran:

 

 

واعتصموا بحبل الله جميعاً ولا تفرقوا

 

 

“And hold fast all of you to the rope of Allah and do not be divided amongst yourselves” [TMQ Ale-Imran: 103]

 

Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) has verily ordered that the believers are brothers:

 

 

إنما المؤمنون إخوة

 

 

“The believers are naught else than brothers” [TMQ Al-Hujurat: 10]

 

 

Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) also clearly indicates that the only significant difference between Muslims is that of Taqwa, as indicated in Surah Hujurat verse 13.

 

 

إن أكرمكم عند الله أتقاكم

 

 

“Lo! The noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct.” [TMQ Al-Hujurat: 13]

 

So, if this Ummah is one, and our Deen is one Deen, and our Creator (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) is one Creator (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala), there should not be any division in this Ummah.

 

It was narrated in the Madinah covenant, that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

 

 

المسلمون من قريش ويثرب ومن تبعهم فلحق بهم وجاهد معهم أمة واحدة من دون الناس

 

 

“The Muslim from Yathrib and Quraish, and the people that fought with them are one Ummah to the exclusion of all other Ummah.”

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

 

 

المسلمون كرجل واحد إن اشتكى عينُه اشتكى كلُّه، وإن اشتكى رأسُه اشتكى كلُّه

 

 

“The Muslims are as one man, if the eye hurts, the whole body hurts, and if the head hurts, the whole body hurts”

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) also said:

 

 

- أيها الناس ألا إنّ ربكم واحد وإنّ أباكم واحد، ألا لا فضلَ لعربي على عجمي ولا عجمي على عربي ولا لأسود على أحمر ولا لأحمر على أسود إلا بالتقوى. ألا هل بلَّغتُ؟ قالوا: نعم. قال: فليبلِّغ الشاهدُ الغائبَذكره القرطبي في تفسيره وقال خرّجه الطبري

 

 

“Indeed your father is one, your Lord is one. There is no preference over the Arab over the non-Arab, and a non- Arab over the Arab, nor black over the red or red over the black, except in Taqwa.”

 

He then asked the Sahabah “Did I convey the message?” They replied, “Yes”. He then said “May the one who witnessed this, convey it to the one who is absent.”

 

Then the Prophet spoke about nationalism, tribalism and patriotism and said:

 

 

دعوها فإنها منتنة

 

 

“Leave it, it is rotten”

 

So it is an obligation upon the Muslims everywhere in the world to understand the Muslims as one Ummah, to the exclusion of other people.

 

For all the Western nations’ attempts to undermine the global nature of the Ummah, we still remain unified on many levels. The history of Islam is the history of all Muslims; the Seerah of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is a reference for all of us. And the Sahabah (ra) and Sahabiyat (ra) are for all of us. We cannot even count the number of the Ahkam that we implement without hesitation or force. The unity we have with respect to the love and affection for Islam is something that the Kuffar have not been successful in removing. For this is linked to our very Iman. An example of this can be seen in the feeling of the Muslims in the whole world about the affairs of the Muslims in Kashmir, Afghanistan, Palestine and the other Islamic lands. We say their feelings and not their action because the Ummah owns its feelings, emotions and beliefs but they do not own the power to act upon their sentiments because it has been stolen and is currently it is in the hands of the Kufr Western nations and the Muslim rulers who represent them and the Shayateen.

 

The Muslims in the world are looking forward and are thirsty to aid their brothers everywhere and to remove their oppression. This global Ummah witnessed how Muslims rose up on the streets of Baghdad, Amman, Tehran, London, Jakarta, Cairo, and Paris and beyond, as we were agitated to assist our brothers and sisters in Palestine and Afghanistan.

 

But the picture of the unity of this global Ummah is not complete. The Muslims of the West have an important role in completing this unity and achieving this concept of one global Ummah. The duty of the Muslims in the West is to maintain the identity of the Muslims and to be the ambassadors of Islam wherever they are - whether at work, at university or at home. We are obliged to follow the example of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) who was indeed the “walking Qur’an”.

 

The Muslims in the West have a responsibility to aid the work for the re-establishment of the Islamic state that will bring back the physical unity of this global Ummah as Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) ordered.

 

Ja’far Ibn Abi Talib along with many other Sahabah lived in Abyssinia, which was ruled by the Christian King, the Negus. They, like the Muslims in the West ought to, maintained their identity as Muslims and never integrated or became assimilated into the Kufr culture.

 

They were the ambassadors of Islam. They conveyed and discussed the message of Islam straight away. They were the best example in all areas of their life, which resulted in the fact that many embraced Islam, even the Negus himself. Yet they never forgot their duty to aid the work to establish Islam as a final authority unifying the Ummah as Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) had ordered.

 

May Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) make us of those who remember our responsibility to this global Ummah and may He (Subhanahu Wa Ta’aala) make us remember the words of the best of creation, Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), in the aforementioned hadith when he spoke to his Sahabah, as he speaks to us now:

 

“May the one who witnessed this, convey it to the one who is absent.”

This intellectual war against the Muslims is not a new style. These methods have been used since the time of Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). We may be familiar with the incident where the Jew, Abdullah Ibnu Sabah, created the fitnah between Uthman (ra) and Ali (ra).

Assalamu Alaikum,

 

Conscious Manipulation, nice article "bro". LOL!

 

Sayfullah, CM didn't write the article. It's a post...just for clarification purposes.

 

Wa Billahi Tawfiq

[sayfulaah-almasluul]

complex mind.thankz .i understood the article that is why i am asking the questions.i really would like to have all nomads to look this article closely and understand the kind of strategies our enemies are puting in place to ensure the up rooting and destruction of our very existance,for islam is the axis of our live.but also to searched openly the weakness of muslims.why are they so weak?what is the proplem?is there any solution for the this long lasted proplem?if yes how can we get?no one can build or organise a rubbled society before he/she identfys the weak points.it seems moslim opted to remain weaker? you may ask why but just before anything else look the history of muslin,you will find surprises!!!!!who planed inceted Fitnah that resulted the death of thousands of moslins is still as doubtful as it was then.how one man manage to put all this plans together and no one noticed? was he really some kind of illusion?did abdulahi nibu sabah existed? if he did where did he perish after fitnah?

this are just some question we need to know their answers,becuase if we remain unawere of the what happended past and why it happened then we may never figure out how to get solution for current dilemmas.
