Disunity of Muslims

The main weakness of the Muslims is their disunity. This disunity shows in their inability to cooperate for the good of Muslims in individual countries and the whole Muslim world. It also surfaces in the form of conflicts and wars between Muslims, as typified by the Iran-Iraq war and the civil wars in Lebanon.

What is the cause of this disunity? The Muslims claim that they worship one God and follow His one religion. They also declare their religious brotherhood. How then are they so disunited? This is the mystery that we have to unravel. This is the reason for our re-evaluation of the hadith. Our hypothesis is that the hadith—in principle, a false teaching attributed to Prophet Muhammad—is a major factor causing disunity and backwardness among Muslims. Our study is to prove this hypothesis.

Peace and Blessings MASJID TUCSON

My name is S. B. I’ve been a  self proclaimed submitter to Allah since Nov 19 of last year. I was a so-called Sunni Muslim since Sept of 01. I’m not a scholar or can I speak or read Arabic but I love the Koran so straight to the point.

I’m 32 years old and I live in Shreveport, Louisiana and my reason for contacting you is that because here in Shreveport we don’t have a submitter Masjid and I was wondering what were the steps to opening, overseeing and maintaining a Masjid? I don’t have any money but I was hoping that ALLAH would provide me with the ability to raise the money through donations. I’m sorry for or if any inconvenience and thank you for your time.

The MASJID as of now may have only One member lol but at least I will be able to make Friday prayer and worship GOD alone and that means more to me than any other worldly achievement!

Peace and blessings

S.B.
