Anti-Sect Revolution

ISL (Islamic System of Living)

Reason Behind Name: The purpose of Quran is not only to worship Allah but also to develop a complete society of peace and unity in the name of Islam. It does not only prohibit certain habits but it also deals with the practical and social issues of humanity. So Islam is not only a religion but a complete “system of living”.

Vision: “Unity amongst Muslims”
Mission: “To spread the message of Islam. To start an Anti-Sect Revolution which will bring all the Muslim organizations and institutions under one label of “MUSLIM.”
Goal: “Pleasure of Allah”
Strategy: “Peace, Patience and Persistence (in worship of Allah and righteous deeds)”.

Haier is the world’s second largest company in home appliances. It is a Chinese company having about 10,000 employees and produces almost 5,000 refrigerators daily. My experience and common sense does not allow me to believe that all 10,000 employees will have same point of view in all matters of life. But yes, they do have a common purpose (goal) and they strive for it keeping behind all their individual differences. They say that differences can be discussed during lunch break, but for the rest of the time we must work for the same goal. This is one of the major reasons for the success and progress of, not only China, but other parts of the world too.

We play so many games in which team spirit and unity are basic requirements. We just use these techniques to win matches. After winning we take our medals proudly and go home leaving behind the same spirit and unity we require in our lives. Such games include football, hockey, cricket, volleyball etc.

Having differences in views is very natural and humanly. But they must not be made a hurdle between our goals. All of us Muslims have the same goal of pleasing Allah by submitting our wills to Him. So we must be united as a “Muslim” regardless of our contradicting point of views. You might have noticed that in mosques while offering Nawafils and Sunats, some pray faster than the others and so there is a mix up of praying style reflecting no unity. On the other hand, while offering Furz, all Muslims are synchronized in their motions reflecting unity. In Quran too, there are several messages of unity, and creating sects is strictly prohibited.

The prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) about the number of sects has become true and we have a large number of sects in Muslims. But according to the prophecy of Quran, a time will come when there will be only “Muslims” left in the world, but it will be a ‘time closer to Hereafter’. Since there are many prophecies of ‘time closer to hereafter’ which are becoming true so may be it is the right time to start uniting and fulfilling this prophecy too. We Muslims have already damaged the image of Islam in the world by creating sects; it is very essential now to think for the betterment of Muslims and inshahallah Allah will also be pleased with our effort. You can join us in our struggle or give us your valuable suggestions and views.

If you join, you will not be asked or forced to do anything for ISL, all you have to do is to follow the right path as shown by Quran & Holy Prophet SAW, and in its light co-operate with one another to develop (and work for) Muslim Unity. Setting aside the small differences and looking at the bigger picture. i.e., "The picture of Islam", use the label “MUSLIM” instead of “sunni”, “shia” or “naqshbundi”. Also you will have to let go the differentiation according to casts; so it will not matter whether you are a syed, sheikh or chaudhary, you will be only a “MUSLIM”. Ofcourse there is no system of check and balance as whatever we do is for Allah and only He will grade our intentions and deeds.

So, JOIN US IN OUR MISSION OF UNITY.
