2. THE CALL TO GOD AND UNITY
The Muslims’ unity is their greatest strength. The
best means of achieving this unity is the call
towards God. The Qur’an says that God has chosen
Muslims to promote the cause of true religion.
Furthermore, the religion brought to them by the
Prophet is to be conveyed by them to other
communities. In this context the Qur’an commands
them to hold fast to the rope of God and be united
around the one God:
So that His messenger may be
A witness for you, and you
Be witness for mankind.
So, attend to your prayers,
Give
zakat
And hold fast to God;
He is your Protector
The Best to protect
And the Best to help! (22:78)
