His Excellency also spoke about the foundation of the Islamic unity, saying:
Islamic unity can only be achieved through the unanimous agreement of the Muslim rulers to the religion of Allah, their holding fast to the Rope of Allah, and their helping one another in righteousness and piety. Their objective should be maintaining the truth, guiding human beings, and taking Allah's Shari`ah (Law) as judge among people.
In this way, they would be united, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says, And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur'ân), and be not divided among yourselves He (Glorified and Exalted be He) also says, Then We have put you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ) on a (plain) way of (Our) commandment [like the one which We commanded Our Messengers before you (i.e. legal ways and laws of the Islâmic Monotheism)]. So follow you that (Islâmic Monotheism and its laws), and follow not the desires of those who know not. (Tafsir AtTabarî). Verily, they can avail you nothing against Allâh (if He wants to punish you).
