Pakistani thinker Maulana Muhammad Ismail has said that the unity of the Islamic Ummah, its solidarity and integrity, and its avoidance of all factors of dispersion, conflict, and difference is not only a very important religious issue but also an Islamic duty and a Sharia assignment.

 The thinker went on to say, “the conflicts have weakened Islamic Ummah and removed their rights. That’s why we hear voices of Muslims in different parts of the world who emphasize unity of Ummah. Everybody all over the world of Islam need to join the sincere calls to save themselves and revive their rights.”
“Looking into our religious, i.e., Islamic texts, we will find that there is no way for difference and dispersion. We follow a religion which strongly negates all of dispersion and difference,” the thinker stated, saying: “Why there should be difference in an Ummah, which has common values. These values should be seriously taken into consideration.”
The Pakistani scholar noted, “As you know, Islamic Ummah has a single book, which has been immune of any distortion, error and mistake. Islamic Ummah has a single God, religion, prophet, Qibla, body, concerns and pains.”
He concluded, “Islam has come to invite all of us to equality, justice, kindness, brotherhood, cooperation, passion, mercy, and blessing. Islam has never invited human beings to dispersion, difference and prejudice. Islam has invited all to broad unity of Muslims in east and west of Earth.
