Q 4: The Gulf War undoubtedly created breaches in Muslims' rows, what is the proper way to restore harmony amongst them?

A: Such breaches can be treated, for each disease has a remedy; the remedy of division is that all countries and officials have to make Tawbah (repentance to Allah) from their mistakes and bad deeds, correct themselves, and require from the wronged to forgive what has been done against them for Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) accepts the Tawbah of whoever repents to Him. He (Glorified be He) says:
And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful
O you who believe! Turn to Allâh with sincere repentance!
Whoever repents from his sins is like the one who did not commit a sin.
All Muslim and Arab countries have thus to cooperate to achieve acts of righteousness and piety, to recommend one another to the truth and to be patient while keeping firm on it, to abandon falsehood, to make Tawbah to Allah, and to ask their brothers whom they wronged to pardon them. They are to confess their mistakes before their brothers and ask for their forgiveness. Recommending one another to the truth and asking one another to forgive their brothers' mistakes are urgently necessary. If this happens and the oppressor gives up their mistakes and makes Tawbah to Allah, such breaches in Muslims' rows will vanish.
