Muslims are supposed to work together towards a common goal set by the Quran and shown by the Prophet (PBUH) through his Sunnah. They are brothers and sisters because they are bonded by the common ideology of the unity of God and the unity of humankind.
These are the foundational principles of Islam. The Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) require Muslims to work for the unity of the Ummah. Muslims are required to be merciful towards each other (The Quran (48:29)) and be like the body where if any part hurts the whole body should feel the pain (Hadith). But, are Muslims practicing this injunction of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH)? Muslims and various Islamic organizations are working hard but it is frustratingly obvious that the above goals are ever so illusive. Instead of Muslims being united in mercy towards each other, they are, on the whole, far from it. Instead of feeling the pain and misery of other Muslims (Chechens, Palestinians, Kashmiris, for example), most of us are happily enjoying our material comforts of life. Is Muslim unity only a dream that cannot be fulfilled? Many argue that all this talk of Muslim unity is out of date. Islam may have once united Muslims but present reality makes it impossible. They say it is nice talk, which makes Muslims feel good but an unrealistic goal that cannot be achieved. Muslims spend (and have spent) a lot of their time and emotional energy debating this issue.
We will come back to this fundamental question- is Muslim unity possible, and if it is, then how to achieve it? But first, let us find out the present state of Muslims and compare it with the Iqbal’s visionary diagnosis of their problems.But with These rulers it is impossible.

ہے دنیا کا دستور کہ سچوں کو الزام دیتی ہے
جو پیا سے بھی نہیں اٹھا کر جام دیتی ہے
مگر یہ بھی ہے کے جب ظلم بڑھتا ہے
بغاوت پھر مسکرا کر کوئی صدام دیتی ہے
ابھی ہے حوصلہ زندہ ابھی سانسیں سلامت ہیں
خدا کی دے ہوئی زندگی اور دین باقی ہے
تو اپنی ایک بطحا پر نہ ناز کر اے ظالم
بھلے صدام بے بس تھا مگر لادن باقی ہے
جو پیا سے بھی نہیں اٹھا کر جام دیتی ہے
مگر یہ بھی ہے کے جب ظلم بڑھتا ہے
بغاوت پھر مسکرا کر کوئی صدام دیتی ہے
ابھی ہے حوصلہ زندہ ابھی سانسیں سلامت ہیں
خدا کی دے ہوئی زندگی اور دین باقی ہے
تو اپنی ایک بطحا پر نہ ناز کر اے ظالم
بھلے صدام بے بس تھا مگر لادن باقی ہے
