What is the correct method for unifying the Ummah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, our Shaykh, they say if this is not the method, then how can the Ummah be unified?
The Shaykh : What will it be?
The questioner : They say if this is not the obligatory method to be followed for unifying the Ummah, then what is the correct method to be followed?
The Shaykh : What is the method to be followed? It is not known to them what the method is yet?! This is a problem. The method is, as we say briefly, the title of a phrase we have recorded repeatedly: purification and education. But they do not believe in it. And I think you understand what is meant by purification and education? This is the method. The method is not for Muslims to fight each other in order to achieve unity. They will not achieve unity by this method at all. Rather, the method is to spread the correct ideas around which Muslims gather, so that they are united in thought and state. But by fighting, hostility, quarreling, and hatred, this does not achieve unity at all. And this confirms, when you returned to your statement that they say such and such, that they proceed from the disbelieving premise that "the end justifies the means," and this is not from Islam in any way.
Another questioner : They say, our Shaykh, we do not demand that the ruler be fought, but we ask him for support. So how did they decide on killing here?
The Shaykh : O my brother, the answer is from what has preceded: that they do not proceed from knowledge. Yes.
The Shaykh : What will it be?
