Nationalism , Tribalism , casteism: An attribute of Jahaliyat
------

I often see members attach a lot of love towards the Bohra tribe \ caste and consider them as separate entity then the rest of Muslims . This thinking is very harmful to the Ummah and the prophet pbuh had explicitly ordered against this phenomenon called as asabiyyah , which means fighting for ones own tribe, caste,party or nation and according to Islam any fighting should only be for the sake of Allah and his deen and not for a piece of land,a caste(like bohra), or a nation (like saudi).
Even the hindu scriptures quote vasudev kuttubakkam: Entire world is a family, Thus calling towards and love towards temporal nations(like india, pak,saudi etc) , tribes, whose boundaries are drawn by men and who dont even have the guarantee to survive the future is patently unjust and Islam calls it asabiyyah and declares such people to be of the Jahilliya.

Evidences:

You are all the children of Adam and Adam was made of clay. People should give up their pride in nations because that is a coal from the coals of Hell-fire. If they do not give this up Allah (swt) will consider them lower than the lowly worm which pushes itself through Khara (dung)." [Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi]
It is narrated that, Rasulullah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
“He is Not one of us who calls for asabiyyah, (tribalism/nationalism) or who fights for asabiyyah, or who dies for asabiyyah.” [Abu Dawud]
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:“Whosoever leaves off obedience and separates from the Jamaa’ah and dies, he dies a death of jaahiliyyah. Whoever fights under the banner of the blind, becoming angry for ‘asabiyyah (partisanship and party spirit), or calling to ‘asabiyyah, or assisting ‘asabiyyah, then dies, he dies a death of jaahiliyyah." [Sahih Muslim (6/21)]

bro salar:
you should take ibrat from above teachings and should leave your irrational blindfollowing of fraudulent representatives and castesim like bohraism. The Muslims of Quran and Sunnah are the only true representatives of Ahlebayt and panjatan , the sooner you realize the better it is for yourself.
