Only because pursuing personal or group interests is often unity and brotherhood set a side or even ignored at all. The Islamic ummah are increasingly retreating and collapsing because of disputes and divisions among themselves. Even though Islam commands its people to unite and help in kindness. There are many propositions both from the Qur’an and as-Sunnah which command Muslims to unite, maintain brotherhood and also cooperate in kindness, so that it is fitting for Muslims together to return to knit the unity of the ummah and ukhuwah Islamiyyah.
