Reconcile Among Muslims

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm:

(Qur’ān 49:10). ’Innama l-mu’minūna ikhwa fa-‘aslihu bayna akhawaykum wa t-Taqu Allaha La’allakum Turhamoon’, ‘The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy.’ Ṣadaqa Llāhu l- ‘Aẓīm.

Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla says, “Believers are brothers.” If there is disagreement among these brothers, reconcile them and make peace with each other so that Allāh ﷻ may treat you with His ﷻ mercy. Now, some people, even though they are Muslims, do not accept others. They say, “We are the Muslims, not the others.” However, everyone who says “La ilāha illa Allāh Muhammadun RasuluLlah” is a Muslim. They may be sinners, they may be all sorts of things, but ultimately, they are considered Muslims. It is necessary to reform them as well. Whatever disagreements they have, they must be resolved. But these disagreements will, of course, only completely disappear when Mahdi ‘alayhi s-salām appears. There will be no problems left. By then, the Day of Judgment will be very near.

Therefore, whatever the situation, reconciling Muslims is a command from Allāh ﷻ; we must mend their relationships so that Allāh’s ﷻ mercy may be upon us. These people may be sinners or astray. But since they say “La ilāha illa Allāh Muhammadun RasuluLlah”, they should be considered Muslims. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Now, some ignorant people think they are doing something. They say, “We have left the religion,” and they do certain things. May Allāh ﷻ protect us, they are actually losing a lot. They are gaining nothing. They are satisfying their egos. They are being crushed under their egos. They are becoming slaves of shayṭān. Instead of being servants of Allāh ﷻ, they are becoming slaves of shayṭān. One becomes a “Servant” to Allāh ﷻ, but a “slave” to shayṭān.

Therefore, one must be careful. As we said, a person should at least recite the Kalimat t-Tawḥīd After accepting it, no matter how many sins they have committed, the rest is easy. Because that person will eventually attain Allāh’s ﷻ mercy. But if they have left the religion, then woe to them! May Allāh ﷻ protect us. There are many ignorant people among youngsters. The more they study, the more ignorant they become. They think they are accomplishing something. They follow this philosopher, that thinker, and go astray. The more they study, the more they think they are something special. They accuse their parents and society of ignorance. However, they are the truly ignorant ones. The person who does not know Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla is the truly ignorant one. That is the educated ignorant one. The more they study, the more ignorant they become, the more unknowledgeable they become, and the more they go astray. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. , “Wa Zayyana Lahumu Ash-Shayţānu ’A`mālahum”, “And shayṭān has made their deeds pleasing to them.” (Qur’ān 27:24). The shayṭān makes things appear tempting ecorative to them. He makes wrong things seem more appealing to them. However, it is all baseless. Therefore, after at least reciting the Shahāda, the rest, with Allāh’s ﷻ permission, falls under His ﷻ forgiveness. Allāh ﷻ bestows all kinds of goodness upon their hearts. Those who do not know Allāh ﷻ find no goodness. May Allāh ﷻ protect us. Their faces darken, their hearts darken. They become unloved creatures. May Allāh ﷻ guide the ignorant and lead those who have gone astray to the right way, in shā’a Llāh. May they be guided.

Wa min Allāhi t-Tawfīq. Al-Fātiḥa.
