2:213 - Mankind was one single nation and Allah sent Messengers with glad tidings and warnings; and with
them He sent the Book in truth to judge between people in matters wherein they differed; but the People
of the Book after the clear Signs came to them did not differ among themselves except through selfish
contumacy. Allah by His Grace guided the believers to the truth concerning that wherein they differed.
For Allah guides whom He will to a path that is straight.
3:104 - Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good enjoining what is right
and forbidding what is wrong; they are the ones to attain felicity. 431
431 Muflih, aflaha, falah: the root idea is attainment of desires; happiness, in this world and the next; success; prosperity;
freedom from anxiety, care, or a disturbed state of mind;-the opposite of 'azab in the next verse, which includes:
failure; misery; punishment or penalty; agony or anguish. The ideal Muslim community is happy, untroubled by
conflicts or doubts, sure of itself, strong, united, and prosperous: because it invites to all that is good; enjoins the right;
and forbids the wrong,-a master-stroke of description in three clauses. (3.104)
21:92 - Verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood and I am your Lord and Cherisher:
therefore serve Me (and no other). 2749
2749 Ummat: this is best translated by Brotherhood here. "Community", "race", and "nation," and "people" are words which
import other ideas and do not quite correspond to "Ummat". "Religion" and "Way of Life" are derived meanings, which
could be used in other passages, but are less appropriate here. Our attention has been drawn to people of very
different temperaments and virtues, widely different in time, race, language, surroundings, history, and work to be
performed, but forming the closest brotherhood as being men and women united in the highest service of Allah. They
prefigure the final and perfected Brotherhood of Islam. (21.92)
22:34 - To every people did We appoint rites (of sacrifice) that they might celebrate the name of
Allah over the sustenance He gave them from animals (fit for food) but your Allah is one Allah:
submit then your wills to Him (in Islam) and give thou the Good News to those who humble
themselves 28102811
2810 This is the true end of sacrifice, not propitiation of higher powers, for Allah is One, and He does not delight in flesh or
blood (xxii. 37), but a symbol of thanksgiving to Allah by sharing meat with fellow-men. The solemn pronouncement of
Allah's name over the sacrifice is an essential part of the rite. (22.34)
2811 The good news: i.e. the Message of Allah, that He will accept in us the sacrifice of self for the benefit of our fellowmen.
(22.34)
Sahih Muslim Hadith
Hadith 6904 Narrated by
Thawban
Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said: Allah drew the ends of the world together for my sake. I have seen its eastern and
western ends. The dominion of my Ummah will reach those ends which have been drawn together near me and I have been
granted the red and the white treasures. I begged my Lord that my Ummah should not be destroyed by famine, nor be
dominated by a foreign enemy who will take their lives and destroy them root and branch. My Lord said: Muhammad,
whenever I make a decision, there is none to change it. Well, I grant you that your Ummah will not be destroyed by famine,
nor will it be dominated by a foreign enemy who will take their lives and destroy them root and branch, even if all the people
from the different parts of the world join hands together (for this purpose). However, it will be from amongst them, viz. your
Ummah, that some people will kill or imprison the others.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 171 Narrated by
Abdullah ibn Amr
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: There will befall my Ummah exactly (all those) evils which befell the people of
Isra'il, so much so that if there was one amongst them who openly committed fornication with his mother there will be among
my Ummah one who will do that, and if the people of Isra'il were fragmented into seventy-two sects my Ummah will be
fragmented into seventy-three sects. All of them will be in Hell Fire except one sect. They (the Companions) said: Allah's
Messenger, which is that? Whereupon he said: It is one to which I and my companions belong.

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 299 Narrated by
AbudDarda'
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: I shall be the first to be permitted to fall in prostration on the Day of
Resurrection and I shall be the first to whom permission will be given to raise his head. I shall then look in front of me, and
recognize my Ummah amongst the other Ummahs; I shall do the same behind me, on my right hand and on my left.
Someone said: Allah's Messenger, how will you recognize your Ummah among the peoples from Noah's time onwards? He
said: They (the people of Ummah) will have white faces, arms and legs because of the traces of ablution and none beside
them will be like them. I shall recognize them because they will be given their scrolls in their right hand and I shall recognize
them with their posterity (going) before them.
