In the name of God, the Gracious the Merciful

What you have written is an unpleasant reality, to which the world’s Muslims and in particular the scholars of Islamic denominations as well as the heads of Islamic countries must pay attention and come up with solutions and remedies .Today, the enemies of Islam and the global arrogant powers are, day by day, expanding and strengthening their nefarious domination through causing discord among Muslims, especially with regard to their religious and doctrinal beliefs. The holy Qur’an regards such strife as a fire and a punishment that overwhelms the Islamic society:

{قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ}(الأنعام/65).

“Say: he has power to send calamities on you, from above and below, or to cover you with confusion, in party strife, giving you a taste of mutual vengeance each from the other.”

As Qur’an clearly states, the arrogant powers and the enemies of humanity and spirituality have been able to dominate the humans, by arousing hostility and resentment among them.

{إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ عَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَجَعَلَ أَهْلَهَا شِيَعًا}(القصص/4).

“Truly pharaoh elated himself in the land and divided its people into section”.

And the remedy for this great pain, and the solution of this calamity will be impossible without carrying out the Qur’anic orders

{ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ}(آل عمران/64).

“Come to common terms as between us and you “

Thus, as we have notified several times, exacerbating the conflicts by any person or group, provoking each others’ religious sensitivity, causing desecration and sacrilege to the Muslims and creating division among the followers of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is religiously and rationally impermissible. The suicide missions and demolition of buildings by those petrified people, who accuse other sects of heresy and massacre the innocent Muslims, is an inhumane and ignominious act which breaks the heart of any broadminded human. Certainly all these actions are in accordance with the enemies wishes and aspirations, and the arrogant powers seek to make the Muslims practically aligned with them through causing discord and division among them. Clearly, following the enemies and global arrogant powers is a great sin, may God protect all Muslims against the evil of division and strife , and bless you and all those who strive for strengthening the concord and union among the Muslims.

Peace onto you and mercy of God and his blessings.
