Lesson Four

Allāh has made the matter of being united upon the truth and avoiding division clear and sufficient, in a way that even the common people can understand.

Division is a cause of destruction.

The roots of division and misguidance must be understood and avoided.

True unity comes through submission and adherence to the revelation from Allāh- the Qur'ān and the Sunnah.

It is only Allāh who can change the conditions of the hearts.

Reflect upon what united the hearts of the Companions (may Allāh be pleased with them).

Three things Allāh loves for you.
