Should we just take any issue that comes up as a pretext or excuse to jump into the battle arena or does our intelligence tell us that the time we are living in right now is a time that demands harmony and unity? Thus, we must always go back to the Qur`an: وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللٌّهِ جَمِيعاً وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُوا “And hold tightly to the rope of Allah all together and do not be divided…” Is today not the day of unity of the entire nation? What does our intelligence tell us in regards to this?
