In the name of Allah

All praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, peace and blessings be upon the last prophet Muhammad sallahu alaihi wassalam. I thank Allah for only through His mercy that I am able to breathe and stand as a Muslim up till today, Alhamdulillah.
"The believers are but a single brotherhood" 49:10
A muslim is the brother of another muslim.He does not oppress him, nor does he leave him at the mercy of others. And whoever becomes busy in taking care of the need of his brother, Allah will be taking care of his need. And whoever lifts a hardship from a muslim, Allah will lift a hardship from him from amongt the hardships of the Day of Judgement. And whoever covers the faults of a Muslim, Allah will cover his faults on the Day of Judgment [Bukhari, Hadith 2262]
The Islamic brotherhood (bond) is not based on economic interests, race or colour.  It is based on something infinitely superior: rejection of falsehood and acceptance of the truth as revealed by the one true God, Allah. Those who are within this brotherhooed embodies the best moral values of faith: mercy, compassion, fear of Allah, piety and justice. They are strong against the unbelievers but compassionate amongst each other (48:29). In their love and concern for each other, all members of this brotherhood/sisterhood are on body:
When any part of the body suffers, the whole body feels the pain [Bukhari, Hadith 5552]
bi'ah solehah, insyAllah
