Surah Al'Imran, 102-105 (Allah commands Muslims to be united)

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar’s live interview dated September 5th, 2011

Surah Al-‘Imran, 102-105

You who believed! Have fear of Allah the way He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims.

Allah says we must die as Muslims. 

Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together, and do not separate.

What does He mean by all together? Muslims in Pakistan and Turkey, in Libya and Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. Allah commands Muslims all over the world to: 

“Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together,”

Cling tightly to the Qur’an.

“Do not separate“

People have chosen be disunited and fragmented, rather than united and unified. They are both disunited and separated. They disobey Allah’s two commands. They are fragmented and unaware even of one another’s existence. Yet He says,: 

“Hold fast to the rope of Allah all together,”

 Be brothers. Be united.  

“and do not separate. Remember Allah’s blessing to you when you were enemies...”They fight with one another, don’t they? Many Muslim countries are currently hostile to one another.  

“He joined your hearts together so that you became brothers by His blessing.”

What are believers? Brothers.  

“You were on the very brink of a pit of the Fire and He rescued you from it.”As you were about to enter hell, to suffer scourges. To suffer anarchy and terror. 

“In this way Allah makes His Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will be guided.”

What do they say? “We can skip these verses.” But then what remains? They say we should perform our recitations at home, from morning to night. But while you are doing that, that are raping children in Afghanistan. They are butchering Muslims. And you want to spread Allah’s religion by recitations. You must spread it by waging jihad and preaching. You cannot do it by going home and never going out again, by just lying about. Jihad is an urgent matter. It means striving with all one’s might. That is what you must do.  

“Let there be a community among you who call to the good, and enjoin the right, and forbid the wrong.”

 Allah wants there to be a group responsible for preaching. 

“They are the ones who have success”

That is what all Muslims must do. Others do not enjoy success, Allah says. “They are the ones who have success,” He says.

 “Do not be like those who split up and differed after the Clear Signs came to them.”A clear sign; the Qur’an appeared. What about division? They have been divided in the most intense manner. Separation? That, too.  

But they insist on falling into division. There are sectarian and communitarian differences. They fall into divisions. They are divided. The Islamic world is totally fragmented. 

“They will have a terrible punishment”He says. That is the reason for the afflictions befalling the Islamic world. What does Allah say? They will have a terrible punishment.” Allah will punish them. 

I have read just a few of the hundreds of verses referring to Islamic Union.
