Is there some kind of 'sunset clause' in the Qur'an according to his reasoning, whereby the concept will just become invalid?
The Muslim Ummah will remain the Muslim Ummah until judgement day. If your friend does not subscribe to it, then his belief would be seriously mixed up. Perhaps what he means is that since the colonial period the Muslim Ummah has become fragmented and discordant? So he's perhaps speaking more about the reality on the ground, rather than the Islamic requirement? Nobody could doubt that.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The Muslim Ummah is a unique Ummah among the whole of mankind: Their Land is one, their War is one, their Peace is one, their Honor is one and their Trust is one." (Ahmed)
This is what Muhammad (pbuh) said about the Muslim Ummah, and this is what we believe. The reality on the ground is merely our test in this life.
I don't see it as a test
just like the British Empire Islam had its full bloom and i wold doubt it could ever do so again to the same degree

Don't say 'The Prophet (Peace be upon him)' without adding his progeny
(there are some who) persist in hypocrisy whom thou (O Muhammad) knowest not. We, We know them
Then I'm assuming you don't believe in the one true God.
Correct,i do not believe in the Abrahmic God
The British empire was a purely secular entity, so there's no real incentive for it to rise again. Even if you look at history, you'll find the Islamic Caliphate actually waned before and was reborn. With the devastation of the Mongols, the Islamic civilisation was virtually wiped off the map, yet it re-rose under those same mongol/turkic invaders¸who themselves embraced Islam after conquering the Muslims.
Trouble is Muslims are embracing Islam in a myriad of ways,there is no constant
there is no leadership
and none on the horizon

And don't forget most important of all the deen of Abdullah Ibn Saba.
You worship the idol in your signature picture, not Allah, that is why our deens are worlds apart.
Not really. Islam is Islam. When people embrace Islam, then it's constant.
Not quite sure exactly what you meant to capture with those words, but I don't see it myself.
I mean apart from the Qur'an there there isn't an accross the board agreement in Islam,different sects etc
This is not.
Muslims are aware of the leadership issue, and are working hard to raise a generation of leaders. I think this is what the West fears. When you have Muslims growing up who don't just accept to be led by the reigns, then it's not conducive to the colonialist outlook for the Muslim world.
