CREATING-DIVISIONS

Creating Divisions” seems to address the topic of discord and division within the Muslim community, a recurring concern in Islamic scholarship. The title suggests that the book explores how divisions arise among Muslims, whether through sectarianism, differing interpretations of Islamic teachings, or social and political conflicts.

The book likely delves into the dangers of such divisions, referencing the Qur’an and Hadith, which emphasize the importance of unity among Muslims. Verses from the Qur’an such as Surah Al-Imran 3:103, which urges Muslims to “hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided,” may be a central theme in the discussion. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also warned about the harm caused by disunity, and the book could explore these prophetic teachings in detail.

Furthermore, “Creating Divisions” might address the historical roots of divisions within the Islamic world, such as the emergence of various sects, and provide guidance on how to navigate these differences while maintaining a sense of Islamic brotherhood. The book would likely argue for tolerance and understanding within the bounds of Islamic jurisprudence and theology, warning against the pitfalls of extremism, intolerance, and blind partisanship.
