Islam encapsulates unity, togetherness, love and brotherhood. In Holly words "... If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption." (Surat al-Anfal, 73) Allah tells us in the Qur’an that believers must be one another’s friends and allies, united and unified, if we are about to end corruption and strife in the world. All Muslims have a responsibility to obey that command. They must want the Islamic world, Muslims, to be united under a single roof. Those who do not want unity – may Allah forbid – must want disunity. And as we have witnessed over the years, disunity is of no use to the Islamic world. Muslims’ strength and power and interests must be as one. In addition, it is obligatory in the Qur’an for believers to be united. As Allah reveals in the following verses:
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. (Surat al-‘Imran, 103)
The muminun are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and have taqwa of Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (Surat al-Hujurat, 10)
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 are kafir 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)
those who, when they are wronged, defend themselves. (Surat ash-Shura, 39)
Allah loves those who fight in His Way in ranks like well-built walls. (Surat as-Saff, 4)
These verses make it clear that Muslims have a religious obligation to unite at once, to bond with one another with love, like blood brothers, not to argue, to be one another’s friends and guides, to protect and watch over one another under all circumstances and to wage an intellectual struggle against denial by standing together like well built walls.
To do the opposite, to separate rather than to come together, not to treat our Muslim brothers with love and affection, not to be forgiving, protective and watchful toward our Muslim brothers and not to wage an intellectual struggle against denial like well built walls, is a sin.
The absence of an Islamic Union, division, fragmentation between Muslim countries and conflicts among Muslims and the Islamic world not speaking with a single voice leave innocent Muslims defenseless. Wretched and needy women, children and old people in Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Kashmir, East Turkestan, Pathani, Moro and many other places, are awaiting liberation from persecution. The responsibility for these people lies first and foremost with the Islamic world. Muslims must not forget that our Prophet (saas) says, "A Muslims does not oppress another Muslims or leave him in peril.”
The Islamic world must set divisions and differences aside. All Muslims must remember they are “brothers” and represent to the world the fine moral values bestowed by this spiritual brotherhood. The brotherhood between believers is a blessing from Allah. True Muslims must give thanks to Allah for this blessing and not forget His command “not to separate.”
Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate.... (Surat al-‘Imran, 103)

THE ONLY SOLUTION TO CORRUPTION IS THE UNION OF MUSLIMS - Didem Rahvanci
Especially in recent years there is a great suffering in Muslim world. We are opening our eyes to every new day with a persecution news from a Muslim country. One day Palastine, one day Syria, one day Iraq, another day Burma, another day East Turkestan...
Muslims are being martyred brutally for years and they are driven out of their countries, children are left parentless and parents are left childless. The mosques and all other places of worship are being destroyed, their prayers are attempted to be prevented, our sisters are being raped. No news is received from those who are being arrested in their homes and taken away for no reason at all. Our dearest Muslim brothers and sisters are being burnt alive, they are brought by mass graves and are executed.. They are deprived of water and food and are being subjected to worst kinds of tortures...
Shortly Muslims in Palastine, Burma, Iraq, East Turkestan, Afghanistan, the Crimea, Kirkuk, Moro, Pathani, Syria and more Muslim countries are suffering.
While all these cruelty happens, the only solution is all Muslims to unite and become brothers immediately . This is the urgent need of the Muslim world.
Those who are kafir 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. (Surah Al-Anfal 73)
As Allah stated in Qur’an, this riot and corruption won’t be disappear from the world as long as Muslims unite. But as Muslims help each other and become friends, this lead to prosperity.
The one who doesn’t make an effort to unite, it means that person grants opression. Granting opression means participating the oppression. Power comes from unity. The power of Muslims will come from the unity by the Will of Allah.
While Allah is stating “Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate...” in Surah Al-Imran verse 103, he tells us an obligation. Allah commands Muslims to be united. Being separate and fragmented -especially in an environment like this- is forbidden.
Muslims who believe in the same Allah, Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (SAV) should be brothers and united but it is exemplary that they conflict each other because of some reasons. The leading reason is the denominational and cultural conflicts.
Whereas according to Islamic morals, for a Muslim, the measure must be the fear of God, in faith, moral perfection, sincerity towards God and piety (taqwa). Differences in the Muslim world must be appreciated as a source of richness and they never can be a source of potential fragmentation, division and dispersal.
Quarrel thoroughly destroys the power of Muslims who needs to unite now. Allah draws attention to this fact in the Qur’an.
... 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)
Muslims should set aside differences between them and unite and be brothers very urgently. Otherwise neither we can solve our problems nor can we put an end to the prosecution conducted by external forces.
A LETTER FROM THE OPEN-AIR PRISON OF KASHMIR - Didem Rahvanci
A Muslim from Kashmir, where millions of Muslims live in suffering and that has literally turned into an open-air prison for them, wrote this on his blog this week;
Imagine Kashmir
Imagine that an open-air prison with a population of 7 million has been closed. Imagine living in a labyrinth with military camps in every district. Imagine the psychological trauma. Imagine you have got used to the trauma.
Imagine!
Imagine you spend 6 days indoors as the army patrols your doors. Imagine your baby crying from hunger and you have run out of baby food. Imagine that your young people like me have gone underground to avoid being detained and tortured.
Imagine!
Imagine that doctors cannot issue death certificates for the “dead.” Imagine firing at funerals and the bodies being polluted.
Imagine!
Imagine a democracy where you cannot say the word “Liberty.” Imagine a democracy that is in fact an occupation, colonialism. Imagine your father was taken away and never returned. Think of children dying every day.
Imagine!
Imagine you spend your spare time with stories of martyrs, rape and slaughter. Imagine your football pitch being surrounded by military camps. Imagine being slapped in the streets for not carrying your “identity card.”
Imagine!
Imagine that the definition of peace is “Only 10 people died, thee things happen.”
Imagine you live here for one day.
I have lived here for 20 years. I live in Kashmir.
This is the latest letter from Kashmir, where Muslim blood flows.
Do not forget Kashmir. Do not remain silent in the face of what the oppressed Muslims in Kashmir are undergoing. Silence means collaboration with oppression.
But where is Kashmir? And what is the reason for this oppression?
The Indian subcontinent was under British rule until the end of the Second World War. After the British left, Indian Muslims founded Pakistan. Many Muslims living in India them moved to Pakistan. Yet although the Kashmiri region known as “Jammu and Kashmir” on the borders of India, Pakistan and China was 67% Muslim, it remained part of India due to various plots and intrigues on the part of the Indian rulers of the time. From that time some 4 million Muslims, according to figures for 2001, have lived under the persecution and oppression of the Indian government.
The Kashmiri Muslims wanted to escape that oppression and attain independence, but these demands resulted in three terrible massacres by Indian forces in 1947, 1965 and 1971. Tens of thousands of Kashmiri Muslims were martyred in these massacres, and more than 4,000 Muslims women were raped and tortured.
In the 1990s, the Indian administration stepped up its violent measures. Thousands of Muslims were detained for no reason and martyred under torture. Homes were looted, schools providing Islamic instruction and newspapers were closed down. The despotic administration went even further and open dam gates, flooding Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives and terrible physical damage in the region. To date, thousands of Muslims are known to have been martyred in Kashmir, thousands of people have been mistreated in Indian prisons and thousands more have simply disappeared. The main reason for this persecution of the people of Kashmir, the acts of violence, the groundless arrests, the torture and the economic embargos is, without doubt, that the people of Kashmir are Muslims. Cruel policies are being used to try to stop Muslims becoming united and strong.
To look at what is going on from another perspective;
Kashmir is one of the world’s most important regions in terms of gold, emerald and ruby deposits. And since this region under Indian occupation stands on high mountains, it is easy to keep the whole area under control. Because of this strategic importance and underground wealth Kashmir is of interest to several countries. A great intrigue has been going on in Kashmir for many years, involving a number of countries.
We can say that for half a century, Kashmiri Muslims have been at war, not only with India, or radical Hindu organizations, but also anti-Islamic lobbies. The savagery these forces apply against Kashmiri Muslims is on a giant scale. However, as throughout history, through today’s various means of propaganda, what is going on in Kashmir and the region is being reflected very differently. Kashmiris who resist Indian oppression and strive to live in peace in their own lands are described as radicals, while India is depicted as a country striving against radical groups. Pakistan is alleged to be supporting radical groups, and that were it not for the incitement and encouragement given by Pakistan, the problems between Kashmir and India could be resolved very quickly. Pakistan is portrayed as the true cause of the problems, and people say that it would held the resolution of the problems if these countries came under powerful pressure from the West. This is the policy line regarding Kashmir of a number of countries.
Pakistan being forced away from the Kashmiri cause through threats of sanctions, being included on the list of terrorist countries or plentiful loans from Western countries will mean the immediate fall of an isolated Kashmir. All that the people of Kashmir, exposed to Indian oppression for half a century, want is to be able to live by their own religion, not to be persecuted simply for being Muslims and town land where they can raise their children in peace and safety.
Turkey has a major responsibility regarding the Kashmiri question. Turkey must develop and implement a rational policy on Kashmir in order to oppose the oppression and persecution and to support its co-religionists, the Muslims of Kashmir. In Indian policy that disregards Kashmir and ignores the oppression going on there, will place Turkey under a spiritual scourge and also clash with its historic identity. In order for Turkey to be truly influential across a wide stretch of land from “the Adriatic to China,” it needs to adopt a line that will win the love of the wronged people in that region.
