3. UMMAH-NESS ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD

3. UMMAH-NESS Islamic Brotherhood ~ 79 ~ means of even lighting up the Masjid-e-Nabavi (the Prophet’s mosque). It was as late as the ninth year of Hijra that the Prophet’s mosque was lighted by Tamim Dari, who had accepted Islam in that year. By this time, almost the whole of Arabia had entered the fold of Islam. Various nations, various languages, various tribes had come together to form a single united whole. Only then was the mosque lighted up. The divine light brought by the Prophet had spread not only over Arabia, but all around it as well. In whatever direction this faithful little band of followers proceeded, people fell at their feet. This Ummah was established only after a great sacrifice of the interests of family, party, nation, country, language and so on. Even family affairs were not given prime importance because everything had literally been subordinated to the will of God and His prophets. Ummah can be formed only when all relations and acquaintances take on secondary importance. When Muslims were one community, the murder of even one Muslim was enough to shake all of them. Now the killings of hundreds and thousands of them goes unnoticed.
