Abstract

This paper investigates the horrible effects of sectarianism in terms of definition, forms, types of Ummah and sectarianism and all the measurements, strategies which may causes of sectarianism among Muslim Ummah. To define the sectarian discourse, defining criteria as well as parameters to specify the discourse genre which is related to sectarianism are to be explored and discussed. This can set the blueprints and schematic analysis of the sectarian discourse and their solution according to Islamic perspective. Sectarian problem is no more of an occasional nature, or limited to isolated localities. It is becoming the problem of the whole Ummah because it is spreading its tentacles rapidly. If it continues with the same pace, it will soon engulf the whole Muslim community. It is, therefore, extremely necessary to address the root causes of the problem in each sectarian ridden place to contain the problem immediately. The present study will not only highlight the root causes of sectarianism among Muslim community but also suggest certain remedies according to Islamic perspective.
