A call to Turkish-Islamic Union

The verses related to unity in the Qur’an In many verses in the Qur’an it is related that Muslims are brothers, that they need to act and remain in a spirit of unity and solidarity. Some of these verses are as follows: The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and fear Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (Surat Al-Hujurat, 10) Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate. Remember Allah’s blessing to you when you were enemies and He joined your hearts together so that you became brothers by His blessing. You were on the very brink of a pit of the Fire and He rescued you from it. In this way Allah makes His signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will be guided. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 103) They will ask you about booty. Say: “Booty belongs to Allah and the Messenger. So have fear of Allah and put things right between you. Obey Allah and His Messenger if you are believers.” (Surat Al-Anfal, 1) Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not quarrel among yourselves lest you lose heart and your momentum disappear. And be steadfast. Allah is with the steadfast. (Surat Al-Anfal, 46) Those who have come after them say, “Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and do not put any rancor in our hearts towards those who believe. Our Lord, You are All-Gentle, Most Merciful.” (Surat Al-Hashr, 10) Those who disbelieve are the friends and protectors of one another. If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption. (Surat Al-Anfal, 73) Do not be like those who split up and differed after the clear signs came to them. They will have a terrible punishment. (Surah Al ‘Imran, 105) If two parties of the believers fight, make peace between them. But if one of them attacks the other unjustly, fight the attackers until they revert to Allah’s command. If they revert, make peace between them with justice, and be even-handed. Allah loves those who are even-handed. (Surat Al-Hujurat, 9)
