Muslim Unity-Why A Distant Dream?

Dr. Mazhar Naqvi
A regular viewer of Muharram Mirror is dead against Shia-Sunni unity. He considers all Shias as Kafirs and claims himself to be a Sunni. When his attention was drawn to the fact that Al-Azhar University has acknowledged Jafri school of thought as legitimate, he remarked “Shias managed to convince scholars of Jama-e- Azhar”. Likewise he rejects the books of all Sunni scholars on the ground that they were all misguided by Shias and hence not acceptable. Moreover, he praises Yazid and calls him as a true believer but maintains silence when asked about ransack of Medina and Mecca during his regime. The blogger deliberately did not take up the killing of imam Hussain ,for he had already described him as a Khariji who rebelled against a legitimate caliph.(Maaz Allah).His approach is simply ironical and rigidity is indicative of the fact how a whole generation is being prepared by hardliners to consider hatred against progeny of holy prophet as a part of their religion. As a result ,Unity among Muslims remain a distant dream.
The blogger would like to remind all Muslims that why can’t they be united when Europe can become  one union, states of America can emerge as ‘United States’ and East and West Germany can be united. Why are they busy in fighting with one another instead of paying attention on  poverty, sanctions, isolation, hatred against each-other, What pleasure Muslims derive by saying “ I declare you Kafir and I am the only Muslim, you have to believe what I believe in” Fanatics never try to think that where are Muslims heading. They are going astray as they have forgotten the basics of Islam. They no longer remember what the Lord has ordered in holy Quran“   “And  hold  firmly  to  the  rope  of Allah all  together  and  do  not  become  divided (3:103)”.
“As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you have no part of them in the least. Their affair is with Allah; He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did.”(6:159).Fanatics also don’t remember the words of Rasul Allah wherein he said “ “O Allaah! Testify. Let those who are present inform those who are absent, because the person receiving the message might understand it better than the one who originally heard it. Do not become disbelievers after my death, and start killing each other” 
In defiance of Quranic injunctions and on the basis of fabricated and state sponsored fake sayings,some so called Muslims declare others Kafir and even wajib-ul-qatal (worth Killing).Situation has come to a stage that Muslims are being butchered .Likewise some so called scholars hurt feelings of other fellow Muslims by using foul language against their religious personalities. This practice is done by the illiterate speakers and paid agents for the purpose of creating fitna and Muslims should not fall prey to such fanatics. Before accepting the contents of any hate speech, they should question who is a Muslim? The answer is ”  someone who believes in One Allah and the Holy Prophet peace be upon him as His last messenger”So as far as some one beleives in the kalma, he can not be declared as kafir.Even  Salafi Scholar “Molana Ishaq” says “For sure not, otherwise the Holy Prophet would have ordered to kill all the non-muslims after Fatah-e-Makkah (victory of Makkah) but he did not do anything like that, instead he even had forgiven the murders of his own family members” So there must be no violence against any group, even kafirs,.Unfortunately some extremists  call shias as  Kafirs  whereas mainstream Sunni Scholars support unity.Ahmed – Deedat, teacher of Dr Zakir Naik, has stated “
” But we say to them no you are different you are Shia. This attitude is a sickness of the devil. He wants to divide us. Sunnis are 90% of the Muslim world and the ten percent who are Shias want to be partners and brothers with them in faith but the 90% are terrified? I cant understand why should you the 90% be so terrified. They should be the ones terrified. “ May Allah give right guidance to all. The blogger has posted this article as unity among Muslims is the need of the hour and there is also urgency to discourage fanatics who are out to kill all non-believers.
