Life is full of distractions. And those distractions tend to divide our consciousness and lead us down different paths. Whether it’s social media, politics, or sometimes our perception of the deen itself, the ummah is worse off for it. But Allah swt tells us something different. His (swt) plan for us is to, despite our differences, cultures, ethnicities, and political views, unite as one Ummah, under the banner of Islam. We are Muslims, a name that was given to us by Allah swt Himself!
