It’s important that the desire felt for union and togetherness be supported<br />

by concrete measures. All believers must regard one another as<br />

brothers <strong>in</strong> the Hereafter and see one another’s positive sides rather than<br />

their errors. Differences are no reason for division or keep<strong>in</strong>g one’s distance,<br />

and should be regarded as color, cultural diversity and beauty.<br />

People should feel love, compassion, understand<strong>in</strong>g and affection for other<br />

people, love their brothers, and use a praise-filled and respectful language<br />

regard<strong>in</strong>g them. Muslims must always bear <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d the verse <strong>in</strong> which our<br />

Lord says that believers are one another’s brothers:<br />

42<br />

The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and have<br />

fear [and respect] <strong>of</strong> Allah so that hopefully you will ga<strong>in</strong> mercy. (Surat al-<br />

Hujurat: 10)<br />

All Muslims believe <strong>in</strong> the same One and Almighty Allah, strive for<br />

His approval, mercy and Paradise alone, s<strong>in</strong>cerely obey the Prophet<br />

Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), who was sent as a<br />

bless<strong>in</strong>g to the world, and abide by the same Book. Their common aim is for<br />

all people to live by the moral values <strong>of</strong> the Qur’an.<br />

What could be easier than for Muslims, who all share the same aims,<br />

to love one another and act as one? All we need do is show the same moral<br />

virtues <strong>of</strong> the Islamic morality, such as love, compassion, altruism, understand<strong>in</strong>g<br />

and forgiveness to our Muslim brothers from different schools as<br />

we do to the people around us. Let us not withhold the compassion we<br />

must display toward people who are ignorant <strong>of</strong> Islamic moral values and<br />

thus are unable to live by them from our believ<strong>in</strong>g brothers who may hold<br />

different op<strong>in</strong>ions. Let us embrace them with love and understand<strong>in</strong>g, as<br />

we do everyone else. (http://www.turkishislamicunion.com)<br />
