MUSLIM UMMAH: REALITY OR ILLUSION

Published 2021-03-29

Abstract

United Muslim Ummah was a splendid idea given by Islam to restore the lethargic sections of society and combine the assets into an incorporated, reduced frame. Such a unified movement was important not just to assimilate political and national associations on a solitary stage yet, in addition, to liberate the people from conferred self-interests and narrow observations. The idea was inspiring especially at a time when Arab society was segregated by tribal rivalries, domestic feuds and inter-regional assaults. By eliminating aggressive and exploitative tendencies, this kind of communal harmony produced a cohesive, creative principle for a successful strategy. This was a correct diagnosis made for the difficulties afflicting the ligaments of a diseased society. The aim of the paper is to determine whether present Islamic world can be united under the single banner of Muslim Ummah and recommend measures to enhance unity and sense of brotherhood among the Muslim states.
