Muslim’s sectarian behavior is a major issue. The unity of Ummah is possible under the flag of Tawhid. Allah commands us to observe patience and retain cooperation by observing the principles of piety and brotherhood as stated in the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم):
Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, otherwise you will fail and lose your strength. Have patience – Allah is with those who are patient. [8: 46]
Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood. [21:92]
The believers, both men and women, are awlia (helpers, supporters, allies) to each other.” [9:71]
And, verily, this community of yours is one single community. [23:52]
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you – when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided. [3:103]
The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. [49:10]
And [also for] those who were settled in al-Madinah and [adopted] the faith before them. They love those who emigrated to them and find not any want in their breasts of what the emigrants were given but give [them] preference over themselves, even though they are in privation. And whoever is protected from the stinginess of his soul – it is those who will be the successful. [59:9]
And those who came after them say: “Our Lord! Forgive us, and our brethren who came before us into the Faith, and leave not, in our hearts, rancour (or sense of injury) against those who have believed. Our Lord! Thou art indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful. [59:10]
You will not enter paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another. (Sahih Muslim)
You will not be a believer until you love for your brother what you love for yourself. (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
Allah (swt) will say on the day of Judgement: Where are those who loved each other for my sake? I will shade them today, when there is no shade but mine! (Sahih Muslim)
Whoever relieves a calamity that has struck a believer in this world, Allah will relieve for him one of the calamities of the day of Judgement, and whoever makes things easy for a person in trouble, Allah will make his matters easy in this life and in the hereafter, and whoever shields the faults of a Muslim, Allah will shield his faults in this world and the hereafter, and Allah will help and support his servant as long as he is helping and supporting his brother. (Sahih Muslim)
Do not be envious of one another; do not inflate prices by overbidding against one another; do not hate one another; do not turn away from one another; do not enter into commercial transaction when others have entered into that (transaction); but be you, O slaves of Allah, as brothers. A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim; he neither oppresses him, nor does he lie to him, nor does he look down upon or humiliate him. Piety is here (and he pointed to his chest three times). It is evil enough for a Muslim to humiliate his brother. All things of a Muslim are sacred for his brother-in-faith: his blood, his property, and his honor. (Sahih Muslim)
