Usage & notes

Tafriqa is division or schism, the splitting of a community into factions. Iqbal sees tafriqa, whether by sect, caste, race, or country, as the great weakness that lays a people open to domination. Against it he sets the unifying call of tauheed and millat, a single brotherhood under one God.
