Islam is the religion of love, peace, and affection. Islam teaches the lesson of brotherhood . Muslim Brotherhood has great importance in Quran and Sunnah as our beloved Prophet (SAW) preached and practiced the lesson of Muslim Brotherhood.
Muslim Brotherhood is not based on economic interests, race, or color. It is based on faith.
Brotherhood is not only based on faith, but it is also a part of that faith. The Prophet (SAW) said: “You cannot enter paradise unless you become a total believer and you won’t become a total believer unless you love each other.”
The believers are brothers in Religion just as Allah has described them in the Quran: “The believers are brother, So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah, that you may receive mercy” (Al-Hujurat, 10)
We will discuss in this article the importance of Muslim Brotherhood in light of Quran and Sunnah from which we can show how Muslims depends on each other and what Allah say in Quran about Muslim brotherhood and how Prophet (SAW) proved it practically.
Muslim Brotherhood in Quran
Allah Almighty says in Quran: “O, mankind! Surely we have created you of a male and female and make you tribes and families that you know each other, surely the noblest among you unto Allah is one who fears him Behold! Allah is Knower Aware” [Quran, Al-Hujurat (49.13)]
Islam teaches that father and mother of all mankind is one family, there for all man and women are brothers and sisters.
Allah said in another verse of Holy Quran: “Hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided” (Quran, 3:103).
This verse clearly states that we should stay united,unity can not become without brotherhood.
Muslim Brotherhood in the light of Sunnah
There are many hadiths relating to the brotherhood .
Our beloved Prophet (SAW) practically proved that brotherhood is very important for us (Muslim).
Prophet (SAW) said: “The Muslims are like a single man. If the eye is afflicted, then the whole body is afflicted. If the head is afflicted, then the whole body is afflicted.”(Sahih Muslim) This means the believers should love for each other what they love for themselves.
Another place messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: All Muslim like a building, each part of it supports other parts.
May Allah help us to establish the true spirit of brotherhood .
And it is only possible if we act upon the teachings of the Holy Quran and Holy Prophet (SAW) especially in this regard.
