MajlisTT heeds the call of the community in seeking a position on achieving and preserving Unity in the Muslim Ummah, especially in the context of the Muslim community of Trinidad and Tobago.

From the inception stages of the MajlisTT, the focus has been on unity, with the MajlisTT slogan espousing One Position, One Voice, One Ummah. Repeatedly there has been the recognition that the “Muslim community of the country is a single community, and are too integrated a body, with too small a population and geographic space, for any divisions… to be justifiable or justified.” (Extract from Moon Sighting – Local Sighting paper at Majlistt.com, August 15th, 2015).

While unity of the Muslim community may represent a popular ideal, we recognize that differences manifest throughout the community, across physical characteristics (e.g. race), ideological differences (e.g. modernization), and theological understanding (e.g. variance in aqeedah), which may result in divisions.

Many of the bases for differences warrant individual attention, and would be treated with thusly as required, falling outside the scope of this paper. For the purposes of this paper, the issue of Unity in the Muslim Ummah relates to unity of those who call themselves Muslims, and treats with the theological matters that are used as the basis for division (whether directly or indirectly), specifically within the confines of Trinidad and Tobago.
