A few days ago, the whole world witnessed the epitome of political hypocrisy when the chief propagandist of a Muslim travel ban was warmly welcomed by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques in Islam. As a result, the Saudi-government invited taunts on social media for allegedly honouring Islamophobia and betraying the Muslim community by giving Trump the highest civilian honour. But this sentiment of betrayal stems from something that is quickly becoming irrelevant in the current context of affairs, the notion of one Ummah.
Although, in the bid to improve their defence and economic capacities, Saudi Arabia might have gone a bit overboard with the staged drama, but to the most extent, it was rightly conceived if examined through the lens of nation-states, which always seek to put national interests above a universal ideology. At present, the notion of one Ummah is in tatters because its universally binding ideology that has historically been subjected to pluralistic interpretations is now being met with increasingly severe sectarian hostility, which, in a nationalist world has further enabled the Muslim states to prioritise national interests.
Unable to understand why religion is plugged in political issues. Has author ever heard of Catholic Ummah, Orthodox Ummah, Jew Ummah, Hindu Ummah or Buddha Ummah. Let politics to play its role independent of religion. Each religion of the world has understood it except so called champions of Islam. Please work and strive to separated state and religion if any Muslim country wants to prosper.
Mr Khan —You will not find this word ” UMMAH” in any other Divine Book because these had been changed . This word should not bother you. This is Qur’anic word.
Any other word used to describe it and is in use by any other religious denomination..
“”Please work and strive to separated state and religion if any Muslim country wants to prosper.””
I agree 100 percent— Islamic countries want peace and prosperity —work and strive to sepateted state and religion, otherwise there is no peace!
America is a excellent example of secular system and succeed to achieve peaceful and prosperous vountry in the world. Am I wrong?
