The Hadith on the Division of the Ummah and What We See Today of the Muslims' Disunity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. In the hadith, it is stated that the ummah (the Muslim community) will split into seventy-three sects. Is this what we see today of the Muslims' disunity?
Answer:
Yes, this is the fulfillment of what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of. He informed us of this in order to warn against disunity and disagreement, and so that we hold fast to the Book and the Sunnah. Nothing protects one from disunity except this holding fast to the Book and the Sunnah, and to what the Salaf (the earliest generations) of the ummah were upon. Yes.
