(IX) Conclusion: A Unique Historical Opportunity

The historic consensus on the Amman Message and its Three Points comes at a time when tensions between the Islamic world and Western world in particular are at their highest level since the Colonial Age over a hundred years ago, and perhaps since the age of the Crusades, almost one thousand years ago. It is our hope, God Willing, that the Amman Message and its Three Points will prove an effective tool in helping to prevent this unnecessary larger conflict and thus save the lives of Muslims and non-Muslims everywhere.

Equally, the historic consensus on the Amman Message and its Three Points provides, God willing, a unique tool and hence an unprecedented historical opportunity to repel internal strife (fitna) and infighting amongst Muslims. It comes at a time when tensions, and in some places fighting, between Muslims is at a level not seen for centuries. It is our hope, God Willing, that the Amman Message and its Three Points will prove an effective tool in helping to end this cruel sedition, and thus save the lives of Muslims everywhere.

We pray that God guide those who go astray: that He repels internal strife (fitna), and that He shower His blessings on the Ummah of Muhammad—may peace and blessings be upon him. God, may He be Exalted, says:

Lo! this, your nation, is one nation, and I am your Lord, so worship Me. (Al-Anbiya’, 21:92)

And lo! This, your nation, is one nation and I am your Lord, so fear Me. (Al-Mu’minun, 23:52)
