The Eclipse of Islam
How Islam declined after Umar?

Preface

Addressing the opening session of the 10th Islamic Summit Conference in
Malaysia on October 16, 2003, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr
Mahathir bin Mohammad, lamented that the Muslim Ummah is divided into
several groups and sub-groups. "Over the last 1400 years the interpreters of
Islam, the learned ones, the ulamas have interpreted and reinterpreted the
single Islamic religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon
Him), so differently that now we have a thousand religions which are often
so much at odds with one another that we often fight and kill each other,"
Mahathir said adding: “From being a single Ummah we have allowed
ourselves to be divided into numerous sects, mazhabs and tarikats, each
more concerned with claiming to be the true Islam than our oneness as the
Islamic Ummah.”
One has look to back far to understand the current horizontal and vertical
division in the Muslim society on the basis of sects and religious beliefs.
