Teachings

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.

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).
