mindset is a clear manifestation of the absence of genuine love
and faith. The fact is, however, as the verse maintains, that "the
believers are brothers…" (Surat al-Hujurat, 10), and brothers
do not remain apart.
Our Prophet (pbuh) has stated that believers must always be
together and must be attached to each other with a strong friend-
ship and love:

Narrated by Abu Musa: The Prophet (pbuh) said, "A believer to an-
other believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each
other." The Prophet (pbuh) then clasped his hands with the fingers in-
terlaced. (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, p. 569)
Numan Bin Bashir narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) has said, "The be-
lievers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just
like one body. When one of the limbs is afflicted, the whole body re-
sponds to it with sleeplessness and fever". (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 13,
p. 6005)
