Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

needs to be brought about by every Muslim who wants to
achieve security and well being and to see the Islamic world
flourish again. History shows that unification and harmony
in the Islamic world have always brought success. The golden

age of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
and the first caliphs, the Abbasid Empire, the empire of
Saladin or the Ottoman Empire; all these examples indicate
that unification among the Muslims themselves created
powerful and victorious, yet fair and compassionate states. In
times of turmoil, both Muslims and non-Muslims suffered.
Thus, a revival of the Islamic world depends on the

unification of Muslims all around the globe, transcending
ethnic, sectarian or social disputes. Once this is achieved, the
formation of a political unity — in terms of an Islamic Union
— will also be at hand. Such a Union will resolve the disputes
both among the Muslims themselves and among the Muslims
and non-Muslims; heal the radical elements in the Islamic
world by means of education and persuasion; and establish
good relations between Islamic civilization and
other civilizations.
