The Messenger PBUH said, “The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.” al-Bukhari 6011
MEANING: The believers love for each other what they love for themselves. They avoid harming one another, are generous with one another, and they behave in the best manner. When one is afflicted with pain, the other also shares the pain.
When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. When we pray for them, the angels pray for us. Fulfilling the rights of brotherhood in Islam is a means for Allah to support us and reward us in the Hereafter. Failing our brothers and sisters in Islam results in Allah withdrawing this support.
May Allah grant peace, security, and well-being to all our brothers and sisters around the globe. Āmīn Yā Rabb
