CORRECT AQEEDAH - THE UNIFYING FACTOR FOR OUR UMMAH ====================================================== They want to merge all of the people together and that there would not be anything to differentiate between an atheist and an evil heretic, and a person who is upright, or one who is an innovator, rather they want all the people to remain beneath the umbrella of the name of Islam so that the Muslims will remain united, they claim! So we say to them, the Muslims will not be united except upon correct aqeedah (creed and belief). Aqeedah is what united the Companions when they had been divided. Imam Karim AbuZaid in his lecture series entitled: Aqeedah Matters said, “We cannot be united on the bases of the false belief. I cannot make you happy and you make me happy when you possess the wrong belief system. We have to unite on the right belief system, the right Aqeedah. Unity has to take place, has to happen on the premises, on the foundation of the right belief system.” Allah the Most High said: وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَاء ً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانا ً وَكُنْتُمْ عَلَى شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْهَا ۗ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِه ِِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ And remember the favour of Allah upon you, that previously you were enemies and He joined your hearts together. Quran 3:103 What is it that united the Companions after this separation and after this fighting each other except this aqeedah (creed and belief) which is the meaning of Lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh, Muḥammadun rasūlu-llāh, ‘None has the right to be worshiped except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah’? So nothing will unite the people except for the correct belief, but if the people differ and disagree in their aqeedah (creed and belief) then they will never unite.
