There is One Islam and There are No Sects

There is One Islam and There are No Sects
by Omar al-Hakim

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

This comes as a partial response to the "Letter of Warning to All Shia" from the Salafi-Jihadist Youth of Gaza and to all who create strife, Sunni or Shia and those who seek to harm and repress our Christian brothers.

There is a single Islam, for Allah states:

And hold fast, all together, by the Rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the Pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus doth Allah make His Signs clear to you: that ye may be guided. (Al-i-Imran: 103)

All other religions have broken into sects, but Allah warns of sects and their division and wrongdoings saying:

As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, thou hast no part in them in the least: their affair is with Allah: He will in the end tell them the truth of all that they did. (Al-An'am: 153)

For as sects break and attack each other, they seperate from the religion as a whole and the path of Allah:

But people have cut off their affair (of unity), between them, into sects: each party rejoices in that which is with itself. (Al-Muminun: 53)

Therefore, no man should question another man as to his intentions, lest the acts of this man constitute clear treason and upon which the accuser brings steady proof.

What good does it do to condemn and fight amongst ourselves when the Crusaders and Zionists still occupy our soil?

In Iraq, as in Palestine, there are those who fight the enemy and do not bicker or differentiate between the supposed 'sects' of Islam, there are those righteous Christians who fight alongside their Arab brothers for the liberation of the homeland from the invaders and occupiers.

For Allah assures all that:

Those who believe (in the Qur-an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians, any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Al-Baqarah: 62)

The enemy of Islam and Arabs is not themselves, it is not other Muslims or other Arabs; the enemy of Islam and Arabs is the enemy who does not walk among us, rather he walks upon us. It is the Crusaders who invade Iraq, who send from every coffer their aid to the Zionist entity, who has their vassals invade Somalia, who seeks to conquer and subjugate the entire Ummah. This enemy must be fought and takes priority.

Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors. (Al-Baqarah: 190)

Let those fight in the cause of Allah who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter, To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah - whether he is slain or gets victory - soon shall We give him a reward of great (value). (An-Nisaa: 74)

The Holy Jihad for the liberation of Muslim and Arab lands is not a cause to be fought against those who take up the sword against the Crusaders and Zionists, the Holy Jihad is solely against the Crusaders and Zionists and let all come to fight in the cause of Allah; whether Sunni, Shia or Christian.

And to those, Sunni, Shia or Christian who seek to create strife; your work serves the cause of the Crusaders and it is only Fitna which you produce. Let all Muslims be united by the Shahadah: "“La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadu Rasul Allah”, and let no Christian fear persecution, for all are united by the Message of Allah and by the Prophets (pbut) and by Arabism.

Let all who are righteous and do good deeds by the way of Allah and seek to protect Muslim and Arab lands stand united today against our single foe: The Crusader-Zionist alliance.
