Allah said in the Qur'aan,
`Indeed,the believers are brothers (to each other).`
*Surah al-hujurat verse 10*
This verse clarifies how each believing person should be by the side of another believer. Whether male or female , the relationship is automatically there and it's been made by Allah already. It's built on faith. In another verse the Almighty said,
وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
Sahih International
The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger. Those - Allah will have mercy upon them. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.
At-Tawba - Ayah 71
Thus the faith binds us. The above verse did go deeper in giving us some of the benefits and features of those in such type of a blessed brotherhood or relationship type. Our relationship should be one characterised with showing each other the right things, being so firm and positive enough to block or prevent the wrong to be done. Thus having enough guts to correct any misdeed done by a Muslim fellow.
The point now is, `if a community is backed by such kind of behavior like always promoting the good and preventing evil any bad deeds, then how would crimes, violences and frivolous disputes continue taking place, how was success going to be something always lying in hopes`
After mentioning of the above Allah further said that the believers who are to be allies with one another also establish prayer and give zakah. If we tend to follow the order of being in brotherhood until qiyaamah then prayer won't be missed easily or otherwise . This is because we will be a community filled with promotion of good and washing away of anything wrong and evil. Therefore each person will get a reminder to do swalaah. Hence, by being in that prayer congregation every now and then a person will see the condition of the people and , together with the daily advices and teachings, he will give a portion of his or her wealth to the poor as per His command.
Look at how Allah has put His words in order in this verse. May Allah help us understand and follow the Qur'aan better, Aameen.
Lastly, Allah has ordered us to obey Him and the last messenger/peace be upon him).
All the above is to grant us something on this world and in the second world again. .
*May Allah further mould us into being a one strong community, clean our hearts, fill them with knowledge -backed faith and pure love. May he also bless us for that good we have tried to do yet giving us the Power to improve our spiritual positions, Aameen.*
