[Mohsin]

Sister, I think these words have great wisdom hidden in them. Allah says,

O you who believe! Fear Allâh and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is All-Aware of what you do[]. (18) And be not like those who forgot Allâh (i.e. became disobedient to Allâh) and He caused them to forget their ownselves, (let them to forget to do righteous deeds).

Al-Hashr

So when they turned away (from the Path of Allâh), Allâh turned their hearts away (from the Right Path).

As-Saff

And among them are some who listen to you, but can you make the deaf to hear,— even though they apprehend not? (42) And among them are some who look at you, but can you guide the blind,— even though they see not? (43) Truly! Allâh wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves. (44)

I agree and disagree! It is true that the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps. However, the reason behind this is that so many of mankind are going against and in conflict with the harmony of the whole creation and universe. The whole creation was created on one eternal truth; that is to devote worship to Allah alone.

The skies, the earth, the planets, the stars, the animals , the plants and so many people are all circling in complete harmony around this one truth which is Monotheism. Other so many people are wandering against this harmony. They gave their devotion to false Gods. This caused disorder inside their souls.

The result is that you can clearly notice the perfect unity and harmony in the whole universe and you miss it in the world of mankind!!!
