No Muslim must forget that the Muslims of Medina embraced the
Muslims who migrated there in the time of our Prophet (saas) with sin-
cerity and love. Muslims must adopt them as role models.

The Islamic world now needs the solidarity personified by the spirit
of brotherhood among the pilgrims and the Ansar. Feelings such as
hatred and ruthlessness must be purged from people's hearts, and
replaced by brotherhood, compassion, love, affection and positive
thoughts.

Believers have a responsibility to treat other believers with enor-
mous compassion and modesty; any other behavior is incompatible with
the Qur'an. Arrogance, jealousy, intolerance, rude speech and quar-

relsomeness are features of deniers, not of Muslims. Therefore, a
believer who has fallen into such a disgraceful state because of his lower
self must immediately pull himself together, seek shelter in God and
behave like a true believer.
