The reality is that many of the opinions and arguments of Muslims have not reached the ears of many of them, and therefore, it is clear that they cannot have an understanding of them, while the unfamiliarity of Muslims with each other’s opinions and arguments leads to mistrust, vilification, and malice toward each other, as well as the dominance of the enemies of Islam over them. Moreover, a person’s contentment with knowing his own opinions and arguments and his avoidance of knowing the opinions and arguments of others deprives him of the possibility of recognizing his weaknesses and the strengths of others, and prevents him from knowing and following “the best speech,” while Allah Almighty has said: ﴿فَبَشِّرْ عِبَادِ ۝ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَمِعُونَ الْقَوْلَ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ أَحْسَنَهُ ۚ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ هَدَاهُمُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَأُولَئِكَ هُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ﴾[1]; “So give good tidings to My servants; those who listen to every speech and follow the best of it. They are the ones whom Allah has guided, and they are the possessors of intellects.”

[Ignorance of the Enemies of Islam]

From another direction, they do not know the enemies of Islam and are unaware of their animosities toward it; because new atheistic movements have emerged in the world, and covert satanic efforts have been organized against Allah. Satanists have come out from their dark chambers, and sorcerers have risen from their lairs, to establish the rule of disbelief over the world with the support of corrupt powerful individuals and wealthy atheists. Meanwhile, Muslims, unaware of what is happening, are preoccupied with minor and insignificant issues, quarreling with each other over them. For example, they dispute over whether hands should be placed below or above the navel during prayer, and their utmost concern is to prevent visitors to graves from approaching them. Likewise, those among them who seek knowledge also pay attention to nothing other than knowing their own sects and show no interest in knowing the world of disbelief and what is happening within it; as Allah Almighty has said: ﴿ذَلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ﴾[2]; “That is the extent of their knowledge.” In this way, disbelievers from various communities have united to fight against Islam, while Muslims from a single community have become divided, and this has resulted in nothing but the dominance of disbelievers over Muslims.
