Most people think that the Strait of Hormuz is just a geographical route through which oil is transported, and whenever there is tension in the region, there is a fear that Iran will close this route and oil will not be able to reach other countries, including Pakistan. But if we look at this issue only from a political or economic angle, we may ignore its real wisdom.
Allah Almighty has created everything in this world with some purpose and wisdom. The seas, rivers, mountains and roads all have a message in them. The Strait of Hormuz is also one of them. It is not just a strip of water but actually a symbol of the geographical connection between the Muslim world.
This is the place where the interests of the Gulf countries, Iran and Pakistan intersect. Every ship passing through here reminds us that our economies, our needs and our destinies are interconnected. If one country is weak, its effects will also reach other countries.
The real issue is not who will give oil to whom or stop it. The real question is whether Muslim countries understand the fact that their strength lies in their unity. If the Muslim Ummah moves forward with mutual trust and brotherhood, there will be no fear of closure or economic pressure.
The Strait of Hormuz actually teaches us that Allah has shared resources and shared paths so that the Ummah will both need each other and be helpful to each other. If we understand this wisdom, perhaps this narrow strait can become a broad message – the message of unity of the Ummah.
Because when Muslims unite, even the seas become paths, and when hearts are divided, even open paths begin to feel closed.
