Essay On Union Is Strength.One of Aesop's Fables tells a story of an old man who was troubled because his sons were always quarreling. He was afraid that the family would be quite broken up when he died. So one day he called his sons together, and showed them a bundle of sticks, and asked them to break them for him. They tired in turn, but thoughthey were strong, all of them failed. Then he untied the bundle and told them to break each stick by itself. This they did easily. In this way he taught them that union is strength. If they held together as one family, they would be strong; but if they quarreled and separated, they would be weak.
Take a football or hockey team. If the members of the team play together and help each other, they will form a strong team. But if they are split up into parties, when they play in a match some will play badly or lazily, because they are jealous of the others, and the team will lose the match.
Sometimes a school or a college is spoilt because the members of the staff, or the committee, are divided; and while they are quarreling, the work is neglected, and the college or school goes down. Often a whole town suffers, because those looking after the streets, buildings, hospitals, and water-supply, spend their time in calling each other names.
The same is true in war. A large army, whose officers hate each other and do not work together, has been beaten by a smaller united army. That is why the great French general, Napoleon, used to say, 'Divide and Conquer. "He own some of his great victories by attacking one of his enemies when alone before the others could come up to help, or he would weaken a whole nation by dividing it up into quarreling parties.
A united nation, a united family, a united society of any kind, is strong. United they stand, divided they fall. Their motto must be, One heart, one way."

The same is true is every field. If all the Muslims in the world are united, they are bound to make progress. They can also become a super power by unity. Muslims all over the world only need unity.
