The Ethics of Disagreement in Islam

Resum

The most dangerous problem affecting the Muslim Ummah now is the problem of disagreement and discord. Taha Jabir observed that this disease has become all-pervasive and affects every area, the appaling influence of this disease has penetrated into ideas and beliefs, morality and behavior and ways of speaking and interacting. Day by day it is enveloping people‟s souls. Our new generation are getting the impression that all the Islamic teachings, commands, and prohibitions at the disposal of the Ummah are there only to spur people on to discord.
