A Call for Unity



                 fail, and the schemes of those who organize evil and im-
                 morality will turn against them, for Allah states:
                      They concocted their plots, but their plots were with
                      Allah, even if they were such as to make the mountains
                      vanish. Do not imagine that Allah will break His
                      promise to His Messengers. Allah is Almighty, Exactor
                      of punishment. (Surah Abraham: 46-47)
                      It only increased their aversion, shown by their arro-
                      gance in the land and evil plotting. But evil plotting en-
                      velops only those who do it. Do they expect anything but
                      the pattern of previous peoples? You will not find any
                      changing in the pattern of Allah. You will not find any
                      alteration in the pattern of Allah. (Surah Fatir: 42-43)

                      The duty of all believers is clear, whether they are
                 Muslims, Jews, or Christians: to unite and join forces in order
                 to establish societies dominated by peace, tranquility, pros-
                 perity, morality, goodness, happiness, and security. If we co-
                 ordinate our efforts for such a pure undertaking, Allah will

                 give us success. Every believing Christian, Muslim, and Jew
                 is responsible to do whatever he or she can in this respect.
                 Given that they believe in the One and Only Allah, try to win
                 His good pleasure, have submitted to Him wholeheartedly,
                 praise Him, and advocate essentially the same values, it is on-
                 ly natural for them to join together to fight their common foe.
                      Jews, Christians, and Muslims must permanently end all
                 of their historical disputes, prejudices, misunderstandings, and
                 conflicts caused by bigotry and bias. They must not forget that

                 we have not even one day to waste. Followers of all three di-
                 vinely revealed religions should approach each other with un-
