Ramadhan: Kesempatan untuk Mempersatukan Umat Islam

BINTANGNEWS.com – Media PressTV berbahasa Inggris melaporkan,” Allah berfirman dalam kitab suci Al-Quran: Dan berpegang teguh pada tali Allah bersama-sama dan jangan terpecah belah. Dan ingat nikmat Allah atas Anda-ketika Anda adalah musuh dan Dia menyatukan hati Anda dan Anda menjadi, atas bantuan-Nya, saudara. Dan Anda berada di ujung lubang neraka, dan Dia menyelamatkan Anda darinya. Demikianlah Allah menjelaskan kepada Anda ayat-ayat-Nya bahwa Anda dapat dibimbing. '

Ramadan: an opportunity for Islamic unity

This verse holds true for Muslims throughout the year but its implementation is specifically witnessed during the Holy month of Ramadan. Muslims from all sects undertake fasting and worship in almost identical manner and maintain the same good conduct. Social bonds are strengthened in an environment of self reflection, communal worship and charity in this month.

Dan bertentangan dengan sebagian besar media menggambarkan, di banyak negara sangat umum bagi Sunni dan Syiah untuk menikah, berdoa bersama di masjid yang sama, berbuka puasa bersama selama Ramadhan, dan hidup bersama secara harmonis. Bulan Suci Ramadhan adalah kesempatan besar bagi semua Muslim untuk menjangkau melintasi batas sektarian dan membangun persatuan abadi.

Perhaps Muslims should pledge to each other to become united.  Most people have friends that are from different Muslim backgrounds and have no problem mixing.  However, the need for masajids to create the environment where people are made to feel welcome in the masjid of another is important to fulfill the vision of unity at a structural level. In Iran it is not allowed to have separate masajids for Sunnis and Shi’as.  In Sunni majority areas the Shi’as have to pray behind a Sunni Imam and vice versa. Can we replicate that in the West?.***
