Can the Muslim world really unite?

[And Step]

If you think the Khalifah was destroyed just 86 years ago that is part of the problem. There was schisms centuries before that. Genghis Khan proved that. When he came against the Caliph in Bagdad and the Muslims on the Western Frontier. They were already divided because alot of them did not accept the Caliph in Baghdads authority. The British pushed the Fahd family into power. That alone should tell you that something was not right.

Yes, they can but the problem is some seem to think that the Khalifah should be assigned to a geographical location(i.e. Middle East/Arabia) and that is not so. The Caliph should be wherever those who are most qualified and dutiful. You can't force people to accept your leadership just because you may be an Arab or a distant relative of the Prophet. Leadership passed down through bloodlines is foolish. Especially if the blood line is off the path.

Too many want to impose their self made authority on people in the form of fatwas and self styled sharia and what not. The People are rebelling against this type of leadership.

Those who clamor for leadership usually are the ones who shouldn't have it. You actually answered your own question when you quoted the Prophet. He said Allah will bring it about, so why not just keep your duty and wait on him to bring it about. Let's not run ahead and make a mess.

Well it was destroyed 86 years ago. Even though the Khilafah in its history had various internal problems the fact remained there was always a caliphate. The Ulema always stressed the importance of a Khilafah and the deen tells us we must have a Khilafah. I dont think the issue nowdays is a geographical. Yes you would get some that say the Khilafah must be fom Quresh however that opinion isnt one which the majority of the Ulema support. The only group who really say the Khilafah must be of the prophets bloodline are the Shia.

Personally I believe the future khilafah state is more likely to start in Asia than the Middle East.
