Shaikh Al Busaidi added that the true Islam, through its provisions of the Sharia, and all its moral and ethical values, aims at building a cohesive nation in its structure, beliefs, perceptions, worship, customs, morals, ideals, principles, purpose, hopes and pains, all are seen in the acts of devotion as commanded by Allah the Almighty.
He affirmed that the unity of the Islamic nation and its interdependence, based on the promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice as the Holy Quran states “Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore, serve Me (and no other)”.
Allah the Almighty warns the nation to follow the course of the division and difference.
He added that if the nation united, supported and advocated, it can reform all its affairs and ruled out all the causes of dissension among its members and is being feared by its enemy, there is no gap among its members, which can be reached through it as the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) said: “A believer is for a believer as a structure, each supporting the other.”
He added: “The nation, if takes these values and avoids everything that leads to the division, will become one nation that rises under the worship Allah the Almighty and His piety and fear.” He called upon all Muslims to abide by obedience and piety of Allah the Almighty.
