Islam is not just a religion of rituals; it is a religion of community. The Qur’an describes believers as one family:

“The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy.” (Qur’an 49:10)

This brotherhood goes beyond blood ties—it is built on faith, compassion, and mutual support. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Brotherhood means standing by each other in times of need, sharing joys and sorrows, and protecting one another from harm. It also means avoiding envy, backbiting, and division, which weaken the ummah.

In today’s world of selfishness and competition, true Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood is a healing force. When Muslims unite, they become like a single body—strong, resilient, and full of compassion.
