This is more evident in the 1st generation immigrants (not saying all of them but a substantial amount of them) who migrated to the West. InshaAllah we will see that the subsequent generations could learn and try to rectify this problem before we as an Ummah become sooo thinly spread that we further distance ourselves from what a true Ummah is meant to be.

Maybe these Trials we are seeing, in this day and age, will help us come closer. I often think of the Jews in the Nazi Concentration Camps. Before the advent of Nazism, how many of these Jews living in Europe cooperated with one another? How often did the rich Jew converse with the poor Jew (and vice versa)? How often did the free liberal Jew interact with the religious Rabbi? or how often did the different sectarian Jews ‘shake hands’? It was only under tragic circumstances that these Jews united, and not only that, but they probably shared the same bunk beds as one other (whatever their background was) within those concentration camps.

We, as Muslims, should learn from this, and hope that we don’t unite out of duress or any tragic circumstances that are inflicted upon us, but only out of love and care.
