Muslims Forum For Peace

“Hold tightly together to the path of Allah, and do not let divisions separate you.” — Qur’an 3:103

Unity among Muslims is a command from Allah and a powerful tool for progress, strength, and peace. When the Ummah (Muslim community) works together, it creates an unshakable force built on faith, brotherhood, and purpose.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“The believers are like a structure, each part supporting the other.” — \[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Coming together as an Ummah is not optional — it’s a directive from Allah, a shared duty, and a means to Allah's mercy. When we work together, we rise above challenges, uplift our Ummah, and fulfill the legacy of our beloved Prophet ﷺ.
