Re: ONE
With this post of yours, i do sense the feeling of your aqaid being superior to others. This is what we need to refrain ourselves from. What Allah promised to preserve is Quran and Qur’an alone. Problem is we do not have one set of scholars. We have scholars from every different sect of Islam, each claiming to be right. Where is the sense of unity ? Every scholar preserved their aqaaid their own way. If one was right, each one would have followed that. Another thing is that scholars are not divinely guided. They preserved their aqaaed according to how they thought were right and according to how and what their forefathers have been believing. The aqaaed have to be wrong, scholars must have understood something wrong, only then would Allah send someone from Him. Had the islam been exactly how it was 1450 years ago, we would not see so many sects in islam.
Deen of Islam consist of Quran, ahadith and Sunnah. It does not get complete by the opinion of scholars. Whoever say whatever which is not confirmed by Quran, ahadith and sunnah are not to be taken as an aqeedah of Islam. Whatever one needs to prove must prove it from either of Quran,ahadith and/or sunnah.
Like I said, everyone must be allowed to do tabligh..and if they’re wrong.. one should explain it from quran ahadith and sunnah. To stop them from doing tabligh is not the solution of anything. If Islam is preserved, then rest assured, even if you have hundreds of sects, nothing will happen to Islam. You do jihaad against them from pen. You show them the right path through Quran.
Rest of it, if you want muslim ummah to unite, we must all respect eachother and consider them all muslim and take away the thought that we are better than the rest. Show what you believe in through Quran, ahadith and sunnah and not from what your scholars tell you to believe.
Lets also not call eachother by names and lets not call anyone non muslim. Lets unite under the beliefs which are common in all. Lets talk more about similarities and less about the differences.
