Concept

The phrase Ummah

in the Qur'an refers to all of the

Islamic world unified.

The Quran says:

You [Muslims] are the best nation brought out for

Mankind, commanding what is righteous (Ma'ruf, lit.
"recognized [as good]") and forbidding what is
wrong (Munkar, lit. "unrecognized [as good]")
[3:110].

The Muslims, regardless of their origin,

irrespective of their geographical
boundaries and racial characteristics are
one Ummah
(The Convenant of Madina)

Pan-Islamism

Pan-Islamism is a political movement

advocating the unity of Muslims under one

Islamic state often a Caliphate

Rreligious nationalism, Pan-Islamism

differentiates itself from other pan-nationalistic

ideologies

Concepts Shared by Intellectuals

Allama Iqbal:
All the Muslims beyond any difference of color,
caste, nation, state, ideology at the basis of
religion are called Muslim Ummah.(heads)
Syed Jamal-ud-din Afghani:
All the Muslim states constitute Ummah. He was
preacher of Pa Islamism.
Shah Wali Ullah:
Muslims belonging to Muslim states only
constitute Muslim Ummah.
We say. Muslims present in any part of the world
are part of Muslim Ummah.

Introduction

Muslim Ummah has Glorious History which

Produced;

Great Generals,Reformers, Thinkers, Scientists,

Scholars and Astronomers

Today Muslims face a Common Threat of their

Survival

Rise and fall is a social phenomenon, may be

Basis for Unity

We are all Muslims, we believe in one God i.e.

Almighty Allah, we believe in one Prophet i.e.
Muhammad (Sallallaho Alaihe wa Aal-e-hee
Wasallam) and we all have the book of Allah
i.e. Qur'an

Allah
Prophet

Early Division

This difference in approaches on purely a political

issue divided the Muslims permanently. (Political)

However, there were no differences among
Muslims regarding Islamic Jurisprudence and
worshipping (Ibadaat).
If some differences occasionally appeared among
them, they never considered it as a difference
that could divide Muslims.

Development of Islamic Jurisprudence (The science of

Fiqah), four Ahle Sunnat Imams of Islamic Jurisprudence,

Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi'e and Imam
Ahmed bin Hanbal learnt Islamic Jurisprudence from
Imams of Ahle Bait
Imam Abu Hanifa was a student of Imam Ja'ffar us Sadiq
The major division among Muslims in Jurisprudence
occurred when the Science of Fiqah (Islamic
Jurisprudence) became a formal subject
The Sunni Muslims were divided into four Madhahib
(ways), HANAFI, MALKI, SHAFI'E AND HANBALI.

The local nationalism was never preferred over the

worldwide Islamic brotherhood. Imam Muslim, Imam

Bukhari, Imam Trmidhi and many other Imams and
scholars of Islam were non Arabs but no one felt that they
were from n
Muslims were the leaders in setting up the standards for
the rest of the world. Muslims were educators, scientists,
doctors, engineers, commanders, etc. Intellectually,
morally, economically, politically and spiritually Muslims
were the leaders and model for other communities and
nations

The Start of
Real Disunity

After almost 13 centuries of Muslim rule, the

focus of Muslim Ummah changed. What Qur'an

describes the attributes of Muslims as, "They
(Muslims) are very kind among themselves but
very hard on Kuffaar".

Muslims slowly adopted the opposite

attributes. They became very kind to KUFFAAR

and very hard and cruel to

Touheed Cant be changed

Risalat , West develop and support few

Muslims who are willing to challenge the

honour and authority of Muhammad (peace be
upon him).
Holy Book, we believe that Qur'an is the word
of God and can not be changed. West develop
and support those Muslims scholars who will be
able to provide "new" meanings to the Qur'anic
verses and interpret them "differently"

The Status of Democracy

Index (SDI)
Measures each country's progress toward
democratic governance through multiple
variables

Governance
Freedom
HDI
Religious liberty.
Economic Freedom

SDI
Only three of these countriesMali, Guyana, and

Suriname, together representing less than 1

percent of the Muslims present in the survey group
are considered full democracies. (Pakistan)

The rest of the countries in the index are

considered partial democracies or partial

autocracies, with four countriesChad, Pakistan,
Saudi Arabia, and Uzbekistan, together
representing almost 20 percent of the population
being full autocracies

Democracy in the Middle East and North Africa is

the exception rather than the rule

Guns and Butter

Countries must determine how much of their

money to spend on gunsorder and security

and butter, that is, spending that enhances
social harmony and economic prosperity. The
Status of Democracy Index score serves to
illustrate the guns versus butter dilemma.

Analysis
The greater percentage of Muslims a country had

relative to its overall population, the lower its SDI score

The higher a country's GDP per capita, the lower its SDI
score

The greater percentage of a country's GDP that is

devoted to military expenditures, the lower its SDI score

The greater a country's military expenditure

percentage, the lower its SDI

The greater the percentage of the GDP that is devoted

to its military expenditures
