Brotherly Love and Iman

Bismillah wa Hamdulillah wa salat u wa salam Ala Rasul Lillah

Anas reported: The Prophet said, "No one of you becomes a true believer until he likes for his brother what he likes for himself."

[Al Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: We learn from this Hadith about the importence and virtue of mutual love among the Muslims. If we act upon the injunctions mentioned in this Hadith, the Muslim societies will be immediately purged of the evils like exploitation, bribery, dishonesty, falsehood, cheating, forgery, etc., which are rampant in them at present. Islam has taught golden principles to its followers who have unfortunately neglected them and in consequence are leading a life of utter disgrace and moral turpitude. May Allah guide them to the Straight Path.
