THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 20th day of Dhul Qa'adah (Saturday 11th July, 2020).
Brotherhood/ sisterhood in Islam. BismilLah.
ALLAH says: "The Believers are but a single brotherhood . . .Qur'an 49:10).
The brotherhood of faith is the strongest of bonds between hearts and minds. It comes as no surprise to see that Muslim brothers and sisters enjoy a strong, enduring relationship that is based on love for the sake of ALLAH (SWT), which is the noblest and purest form of love between human beings. This is a love which is untainted by any worldly interest or ulterior motive.
It is the love in which Muslim men and women find the sweetness of faith: "There are three things that whoever attains them will find the sweetness of faith: if ALLAH (SWT) and HIS Messenger are dearer to him than anyone or anything else; if he loves a person solely for the sake of ALLAH (SWT); and if he would hate to return to kufr after ALLAH (SWT) has rescued him from it, as much as he would hate to be thrown into the Fire." Bukhari and Muslim.
It is sufficient honor for those who love one another for the sake of ALLAH(SWT), men and women alike, to know that their almighty Lord will take care of them on the Day of Judgement and will say: "Where are those who loved one another for My glory? Today I will shade them in My shade on the Day when there is no shade but Mine." Sahih Muslim. ALLAHU AKBAR.
Such is the magnificent honor and tremendous reward that will be bestowed upon those who truly loved one another for the sake of ALLAH (SWT), on that awesome Day.
Love for the sake of ALLAH (SWT), and not for the sake of anything else in life, is very difficult, and none can attain it except the one who is pure of heart, for whom this world and all its pleasures are as nothing in comparison with the pleasure of ALLAH (SWT). We ask ALLAH to keep guiding us and increase us in faith and wisdom to understand HIS purpose of Creation. Aameen.
