Concept The phrase Ummah in the Qur'an refers to all of the Islamic world unified. The Quran says: “You [Muslims] are the best nation brought out for Mankind, commanding what is righteous (Ma'ruf, lit. "recognized [as good]") and forbidding what is wrong (Munkar, lit. "unrecognized [as good]")…” [3:110].
4
Concept “The Muslims, regardless of their origin, irrespective of their geographical boundaries and racial characteristics are one Ummah” (The Convenant of Madina)
5
Pan-Islamism Pan-Islamism is a political movement advocating the unity of Muslims under one Islamic state — often a Caliphate Rreligious nationalism, Pan-Islamism differentiates itself from other pan-nationalistic ideologies

Concepts Shared by Intellectuals
Allama Iqbal: All the Muslims beyond any difference of color, caste, nation, state, ideology at the basis of religion are called Muslim Ummah.(heads) Syed Jamal-ud-din Afghani: All the Muslim states constitute Ummah. He was preacher of Pa Islamism. Shah Wali Ullah: Muslims belonging to Muslim states only constitute Muslim Ummah. We say. Muslims present in any part of the world are part of Muslim Ummah.

Introduction Muslim Ummah has Glorious History which Produced;
Great Generals,Reformers, Thinkers, Scientists, Scholars and Astronomers Today Muslims face a Common Threat of their Survival Rise and fall is a social phenomenon, may be Muslim Ummah is facing its logical correction

Basis for Unity We are all Muslims, we believe in one God i.e. Almighty Allah, we believe in one Prophet i.e. Muhammad (Sallallaho Alaihe wa Aal-e-hee Wasallam) and we all have the book of Allah i.e. Qur'an Allah Prophet Quran
9
Early Division This difference in approaches on purely a political issue divided the Muslims permanently. (Political) However, there were no differences among Muslims regarding Islamic Jurisprudence and worshipping (Ibadaat). If some differences occasionally appeared among them, they never considered it as a difference that could divide Muslims.
10
Development of Islamic Jurisprudence (The science of Fiqah), four Ahle Sunnat Imams of Islamic Jurisprudence, Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik, Imam Shafi'e and Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal learnt Islamic Jurisprudence from Imams of Ahle Bait Imam Abu Hanifa was a student of Imam Ja'ffar us Sadiq The major division among Muslims in Jurisprudence occurred when the Science of Fiqah (Islamic Jurisprudence) became a formal subject The Sunni Muslims were divided into four Madhahib (ways), HANAFI, MALKI, SHAFI'E AND HANBALI.
11
The local nationalism was never preferred over the worldwide Islamic brotherhood. Imam Muslim, Imam Bukhari, Imam Trmidhi and many other Imams and scholars of Islam were non Arabs but no one felt that they were from n Muslims were the leaders in setting up the standards for the rest of the world. Muslims were educators, scientists, doctors, engineers, commanders, etc. Intellectually, morally, economically, politically and spiritually Muslims were the leaders and model for other communities and nations
12
The Start of Real Disunity
After almost 13 centuries of Muslim rule, the focus of Muslim Ummah changed. What Qur'an describes the attributes of Muslims as, "They (Muslims) are very kind among themselves but very hard on Kuffaar". Muslims slowly adopted the opposite attributes. They became very kind to KUFFAAR and very hard and cruel to
13
3 important areas hit by the west
Touheed Cant be changed Risalat , West develop and support few Muslims who are willing to challenge the honour and authority of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Holy Book, we believe that Qur'an is the word of God and can not be changed. West develop and support those Muslims scholars who will be able to provide "new" meanings to the Qur'anic verses and interpret them "differently"

The Status of Democracy Index (SDI)
Measures each country's progress toward democratic governance through multiple variables Governance Freedom HDI Religious liberty. Economic Freedom
40
SDI…. Only three of these countries—Mali, Guyana, and Suriname, together representing less than 1 percent of the Muslims present in the survey group—are considered full democracies. (Pakistan) The rest of the countries in the index are considered partial democracies or partial autocracies, with four countries—Chad, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Uzbekistan, together representing almost 20 percent of the population—being full autocracies Democracy in the Middle East and North Africa is the exception rather than the rule
41
Guns and Butter Countries must determine how much of their money to spend on guns—order and security—and butter, that is, spending that enhances social harmony and economic prosperity. The Status of Democracy Index score serves to illustrate the guns versus butter dilemma.
42
Analysis The greater percentage of Muslims a country had relative to its overall population, the lower its SDI score The higher a country's GDP per capita, the lower its SDI score The greater percentage of a country's GDP that is devoted to military expenditures, the lower its SDI score The greater a country's military expenditure percentage, the lower its SDI The greater the percentage of the GDP that is devoted to its military expenditures
