Unanimous faith of every Muslim on One Allah, His Messenger
(Muhammad PBUH) as the last prophet, Holy Quran and Sunnah/Hadith of
Prophet became a binding force bringing together people of the different region
as one Ummah. However, the anti-Islamic force couldn’t swallow this
growing religion and unity among them considering it as a major threat towards
their ideologies and religions. Muslim history is replete with glory and
downfall, having difference as a healthy and creative activity, however, there
was no question on differences on religious matters as are prevailing today.
Instead of becoming enemies of each other they were respectful and
courteous with each other but very stern for adversaries.

| Hazrat Sultan Bahoo |
During the period of Banu
Uma-i-yah and Banu Abbas, there had been many attempts to
disintegrate and disunite Muslims. Many sects grew and died. For example,
Khawarij and Rawafidh were born during that time. Excellent and very sincere
work of TRUE scholars
of Islam the Ummah rejected the beliefs of Khawarij, Rawafidh, and their
sub-sects and Muslims remained united. In 1022, Al-Hakim Bin-Amr Allah with,
the support of non-Muslims created new Mazhab(religion) called Daruzism.
During early 1900 in Iran when Bahá'u'lláh claimed that God has manifested in
him and founded the religion of Bahaism. Both of the above breaks from the
Muslim community were not considered as major disunity among Muslims because
both the followers of Druzism and Bahaism did not claim themselves as Muslims
any more. One of the most recent attempts by the anti-Islam forces to disunite
Muslims was the establishment of another religion within the Muslim community
called Ahmedism or Qadyanism. In the meantime, tussle started between Shia and
Sunni also thus creating animosity between them.
The intellectual difference of opinion always remained among
the scholars of Islam
but that should not be considered as a division. For the last 13 centuries,
Muslims have dominated the entire world in every field ranging from Human
rights, tolerance, equality, justice, military tactics/Strategy, Science/Technology,
Laws for the state, health, and education. Khilafat-e-Uthmania (Ottoman
Empire) was a thorn in the eyes of anti-Islam forces. They wanted to destroy
this Islamic Empire at any cost. They were trying for the last 13 centuries to
destroy it but did not succeed. These forces saw the shift in focus of Muslim
scholars and took full advantage of it. They planted a very dangerous seed of nationalism
among Muslims. Muslims started fighting against their own Muslim
brothers because either they were not from the same region or they were
speaking a different language. When the Muslim superpower, Ottoman empire
(Caliphate-of-Uthmania) was fighting against the European colonial powers, the
English, the Dutch, the French, the Italians, etc, at the same time they had to
defend themselves from their own Muslim brothers because Ottoman forces
were TURKS and were not local. To create HATE for TURKS the local so-called
scholars of Islam used religion in order to get support from all local Muslims.

The tactics they used to get support from local Muslims in order to destroy
Caliphate was simple. Keep Muslims busy in fighting on minor issues. Make small
issues as big issues and fight against those Muslims who do not accept the
ideology of these local nationalist scholars. Since these nationalist scholars
of Islam were fighting against Muslim Turkish Ottoman Empire the Western
Christian governments loved them and supported them in their struggle. Now,
these Muslims were very friendly with Kuffaar and very hard on other
Muslims. After a long series of events during 1800 and early 1900, most of the
Muslims countries became colonies of European governments. These
so-called nationalist scholars received big rewards from their Lords in the
West and they were successful in destroying the unity of Muslim Ummah
while still claiming the title of "Islamic Scholars".
Present Era
Challenges
Probably, there are no other people in the world today who
have been as divided as Muslims. They are divided along religious,
political, ethnic, cultural, racial, linguistic, and sectarian lines. Muslims
all over the world are facing brutality, hatred, and image of Islam is being
portrayed as nontolerant and highly uncivilized. Whereas, tolerance, basic
rights of man kinds, justice and equality was outlined by our Holy Prophet.
These divisions extend further into subdivisions. Status, wealth, fame, and
fortune have also created social differences among Muslims. Muslims are divided
at the root into Sunnis and Shias. Sunnis are further divided into Hanafi,
Maliki, Shanghai, and Hambali. Shias too are divided into Kesania, Zaidia,
Imamia or Ithna ‘Ashari, Ismalia, etc. Sunnis are also divided into Ahle-hadith
and Ahle-fight. In the Indian subcontinent (at least) Ahle-fiqh are further
divided into Deobandis and Barelwis. Similar differences exist in other places
as well. Are all these divisions and differences schools of thought as many Muslims
claim? Whether or not we admit it, these differences and divisions do
create physical, emotional, and psychological barriers amongst us. Muslims have
left basic teachings of Islam and fall prey to the nefarious designs of enemies
of Islam. Hadrat Sultan Bahoo
Says: Na Main Sunni na main Shia Mera duhan to dil sariya Hoo(Neither I am Shia
nor Sunni and I am fed up from both of them)
Hadrat Sultan Bahoo has
written 140 books, which are logically developed having its base on
verses of Holy Quran and Hadith. These books are complete code in its essence
and do not focus on only one subject matter as these are almost translation and
description of Holy Quran. During research work on these Great Books we
find all subjects have been covered consciously. Hadrat Sultan Bahoo has
covered the unity of Ummah in his poetry vis-à-vis his other descriptive
writings. He gave the lesson of love for the entire mankind, what to talk of
Muslims or only one sect of Muslim only. Muslims of different sects and people
of different religions including Hindus and Sikhs got benefitted from
His teachings (FAIZ). So many non-Muslims embraced Islam due to truthfulness
and reality of his message and his preaching are far away from Hippocratic
approaches or any greed (which is presently evident in so many so-called
Scholars of the present era). He mostly writes “Allah Buss Ma Siwa Allah
Hawas” (Allah is enough and rest
everything is greed). Allah says in the Holy Quran, the one who relied on
Allah, Allah is enough for him (Verse 3 Tallaq, Chapter 28).
