What chance for resurrection of the Muslim Ummah ?

Chitral .. We often hear?sporadic wishes from different quarters for resurrection of the Muslim Umma and reclaim?the lost glory of Islam.

Wishes?aside, the question that troubles the mind is that how can the Muslims of the world unite to form one Ummah when most of the so many?sects are not ready to even recognize each other, ?let alone accept?

The two major sects Sunni and Shia have been pitted against each ever since the early days of Islam, starting from the tragic event of Karbala.?The dissension between these sects was not blown up in earlier times because of the sparse?population and lack of modern communication facilities.

After quelling the 1857 uprising?in the subcontinent, the British became wary to the possibility?of Muslims rising?up anytime, so their think tanks suggested that the potential discord between the Muslims should be exploited to keep them engaged against each other.

The British colonials?employed Mullahs from each side to slowly spread the poison of discord and hatred. Over the century the seed began to grow and nowadays it is a full blown tree.

Aided by a leap in progress of communication, social media etc, the dream of having a coherent and integrated muslim ummah has gone farther away to an almost unreachable distance. The wedge has widened over the years and now there seems no way possible bringing the different narratives aka sects of Islam together to make an Umma. Allah almighty has authority over everything. We can pray to him to solve this seemingly impossible problem. — CN report, 26 Feb 2017

One thought on “What chance for resurrection of the Muslim Ummah ?

  1. Another funny article blaming others for the problems of Muslims i see. I suppose the dispute for the succession of the Holy Prophet was also a British agenda. Or maybe the mullahs of Masjid of Chitral used to abuse Ismailis for more than half a century after independence because the British, Yahoodis, and Hindus told them to do so? Give me a break. I understand that many entities all over the world benefit from the discord amongst Muslims but they don’t have to try to divide them. Islam has been a divided religion since immediately after the death of the Holy Prophet.
