🇧🇭 #Bahrain's Jurist-Leader, His Eminence #Ayatollah_Qassim: Islamic Unity Is a Certain Islamic Obligation and a Practical Necessity for the Survival of the Ummah... And All People of Reason Among the Ummah Are Convinced of This, But the Ruling Regimes Are Not on This Path... And This Is Their Path to Dissolution, Decline, and Final Disappearance
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Islamic unity—in its pure, great Quranic concept, which never departs from the line of monotheism (tawhid) for Allah alone in all its course, applications, and its intellectual, emotional, and practical requirements—is a certain Islamic Obligation, untainted by any doubt, and a practical necessity for the survival of the Islamic Ummah in its true meaning corresponding to this banner in all accuracy, and for the survival of its honor. It guarantees, by Allah's will, its faithful fulfillment of its functions and the achievement of the great, noble goal of its existence—which is to elevate humanity to the highest heights possible, so that it may attain the happiness of this world and eternity through the pure, right-guided, noble, worshipful striving for Allah alone.
All the people of reason among the Ummah, those possessing Basira (insight) and religiosity, and the living consciences among its sons who have not sold themselves to this world nor thrown themselves into its arms enchanted by its pleasures, are convinced of the necessity of Islam and the unity of the Islamic Ummah within its framework, and that there is no option for salvation, honor, dignity, and eternal happiness other than it.
And they are indeed upon the continuous, serious, sincere, true, pure call for unity based upon it—possessing the conditions for success—through learning Islam, teaching it, applying it, and prioritizing it over every proposition, every interest, and every affiliation.
But the vast space of the ruling regimes in the Ummah—with rare exceptions—due to their poor understanding of Islam, sometimes through shortcoming and deficiency, and due to the desire for this world and the seat of tyrannical rule, are not on this path. They have entered into its war, whether openly or covertly.
Let these regimes be aware that this state of theirs—diverging from the atmosphere of awakening, renaissance, resistance, and the love of returning to Islam—is not a path to survival for them, but rather a path to dissolution, decline, and final disappearance. And that allying with the enemies of Islam is not only unable to save them, but will eliminate them.
The Islamic Republic—by a beautiful divine grace—was the forerunner in raising the banner of Islam in this age, its revolution, and its government, and in calling for Islamic unity upon its foundation. Its role continues in carrying this message to the Ummah with all seriousness and all the capabilities it possesses. May Allah grant it success on this path, facilitate its means, take the hand of the entire Islamic Resistance to achieve this goal, and guide the rest of the ruling regimes in the Ummah and all its peoples to the straight path. “Indeed, Allah has no need of the creatures.” (Quran 29:6)
All praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Blessings and peace be upon the Greatest Prophet, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, and his pure, immaculate household.
