Meeting is mercy, and disunity is torment

It is narrated that “meeting is a mercy and separation is a punishment,” even if its chain of narrators is not authenticated recently;

Indeed, the reality indicates its validity, there is no meeting except that the result was mercy to the worshipers and the country, and there is no separation and disagreement unless its result is calamity and torture, and history is a witness to that, and this is why the steadfastness of meeting and the prohibition of disagreement were among the purposes of our true Islamic law.

His call in the Qur’an and Sunnah to that is frequent, and his marriage to separation and disagreement is frequent, so our Lord, Glory be to Him, says: “And adhere to the grain of God all together, and do not separate. God, as the sheikh of the commentators Ibn Jarir al-Tabari says, may God Almighty have mercy on him, and it is a clear text that does not accept any interpretation other than this, and the Sunnah confirms this meaning in many hadiths, such as his saying, peace be upon him: , Whoever wants the love of Paradise must be bound by the congregation. ''

Hence the consensus of the ummah, in the past and present, on the necessity of the congregation and the prohibition of separation between the ummah, and that whoever seeks division and sow discord among societies is considered outside the approach of Islam, and was a tool in the hand of the devil who seeks to harass people, so it was imperative to confront this with firmness and determination This is what our government took the initiative to do when sedition erupted its head in our cohesive society and pledged allegiance to his leadership, the conference at its command, so it issued legal legislation No. 7 of 2014 to combat terrorism and extremism, so that everyone who is authorized by himself to seek division in society is convicted and subject to systemic penalties. In the law, and it was not satisfied with that until I put points on the letters and put together a list of the entities covered by this law, the most prominent of which were those who nourished division in societies and sought to destroy it from the group called the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the group that wanted to overthrow the regimes and reach the supremacy of power to achieve its sovereign goals On the servants, even if that was the destruction of the country and the destruction of the people, as they declared with indifference.

And the state, may God Almighty protect it, was successful in preceding this legislation derived from the true law, and supported by the consensus of the nation before and behind, and now it is rich in security, tranquility, happiness, and steady civilization progress, and that is nothing but the fruit of the ummah's meeting, hearing and obedience to the rulers of the matter may God preserve them, who are keen on the ummah As care for themselves and their families.

This legislation was supported by the sincere scholars who make the law of God above the whims, and the method of prophethood is the same in following, as indicated by the Emirates Council for Sharia Fatwa in its last meeting, headed by the Chairman of the Council Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayh, who came in support of what was issued by the Council of Senior Scholars in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Sisterhood from a clear statement regarding the rule of the various terrorist groups, and at the top of its list is the "Muslim Brotherhood" who penetrated into societies and corrupted the land with these wars that are still burning for nine years and have not been extinguished by them, and the Ummah was in health from that, until these groups stoked it. A seductive woman, and every sick person exploited her, seeking the hardship of the nation.

This support was not born today, but for a long time we have been warning against various organizations, especially those that wear the cloak of religion and claim to monopolize the truth, and here it is now clear to with two eyes the effects of the nation’s separation from the devastation and destruction in many countries, as for the nations that are immune from that It is in stability and prosperity, and on top of it is this Emirati nation that feels the grace of God Almighty upon it with this rational leadership that loves its people, which is dear to the people, so it was approved by what the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, told about him, saying: «The choice of your imams who love them and love you, and they pray and pray for you. They have to .. »That is, you pray and you pray for them.

And may God have mercy on the Sheikh of Islam, the scholar of his time, and the prince of the pious in his time Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak, who died in the year 181 AH, who said:

The congregation is the conception of God, so hold fast to / from Him with His most trustworthy bond of those who condemned us

How much God pushes the authority of a dilemma / In our religion there is mercy from him and our world

Were it not for the imams, siblel would not have secured us / and our weakest looted our strengths.
