Islamic unity is the mutual respect between the Islamic branches and the attempting to achieve common goals by all Muslims. Solidarity and unity of Islamic nation (Ummah) is one of the definite Islamic principles which is persistently in the Quran and Sunnah. Islamic unity appears in some cases like Hajj, Ramadan, Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Fitr, mosques and Quds Day. == Symbols of Islamic unity == * Hajj is a religious journey to Mecca that takes place Dhu al-Hijjah, last month of the Islamic calendar. The gathering of Muslims throughout the world in one spot is symbolic of the Islamic unity. Muslims use uniform and perform Tawaf (the circumambulation) around the Kaaba. They identify themselves as a vital unit within the larger and consistent body of the Ummah. * Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is a time of fasting for all Islamic people. * Muslims, whether Shia or Sunni, observe two major holidays each year. The first is called Eid al-Adha or the Festival of Sacrifice held at the conclusion of the Hajj. the second one is Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of Fast-Breaking held at the end of Ramadan. These holidays are observed with special communal prayers in the morning hours, feasing, gathering of family and friends, and performance of charitable acts. * The mosque (a place of worship for followers of Islam) represents the symbol of Islamic religious life. In the back wall of a prayer hall there is a Mihrab or niche indicating Qibla for Muslims. The Mihrab is considered the symbol of Islamic unity because it forces all to look toward the Kaaba during the prayer of an Imam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Islamic unity」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
