authentic hadiths that address **Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance), nationalism, disunity**, and **the sickness of division**—topics that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ strongly warned against:


### 1. **Condemning Nationalism and Tribalism (Asabiyyah)**

**Hadith:**

> "He is not of us who calls for **asabiyyah** (tribalism/nationalism), or who fights for asabiyyah, or who dies for asabiyyah."
> **— Abu Dawood (No. 5119), graded Sahih by Al-Albani**

This hadith strongly warns against the pride or division based on ethnicity, tribe, or nationality.

### 2. **Rejection of Jahiliyyah (Pre-Islamic Ignorance)**

**Hadith:**

> “Leave it, for it is **a detestable thing**.”
> — When the Prophet ﷺ heard people boasting about their lineage in a tribal dispute.
> **— Sahih Muslim (No. 2584)**

The Prophet called such pride **"Jahiliyyah"** — referring to the arrogant ignorance before Islam.

**Hadith:**

> “The **believer to another believer is like a building**, each part supporting the other.”

**Hadith:**

> “Beware! The people before you were destroyed because of their questions and their **disagreement with their prophets**.”
> **— Sahih al-Bukhari (No. 7288); Sahih Muslim (No. 1337)**

Division and argumentation led previous nations to ruin.

### 5. **Sickness of the Heart: Hatred and Disunity**

**Hadith:**

> “Do not envy one another, do not hate one another, do not turn away from one another, but be, O servants of Allah, brothers.”
