The Sense of Brotherhood In Islam

In our life, we can’t be free from the others. We need the sociable in our life. To complete our need, we must feel the brotherhood each. We need the friendship, because people can not live alone. Do you think this is good for us as muslim?

In the brotherhood, the people must do the mutualism symbiosis principle. And relationship that simply just to get ridho Allah SWT. It is not only special purpose to get benefit to ourself but also to other people. Because of that, its knot won’t be eternal. If we do not care this principal the friendship will lose. Ibnul Qayyim Al Jauziyah said that” Indeed, who is happy to you because there is a desire, so it will turn away from you, if they got their desire”

Prophet Muhammad SAW said that “ brotherhood between 2 muslims is same as 2 hands”.As we know, in this principal, if the right hand is sick, the left hand will sick too. He did not use other parable because friendship between two hands are very suitable.We can see how 2 hands to help each other in the task to get same goal.

The brotherhood will be nice if there are spirit of cooperation . We will always help each other to achieve together. And also we will feel same sadness. And every happiness will be enjoyed together. In situations and conditions the braid of cooperation will continues. Although there aren’t a request, in brotherhood feeling, the people will help each other and in the brotherhood we must be same to keep secret and stigma. Prophet Muhammad said that” The main charity of good charitable is give happiness to your brother”. Hadis By Ibnu Abi Dunya.

Beside that, in the interaction a people must always appeared cheerfull face. The people must greet salam if meet. Forgive if there are confusion. Give each other advice. And pray each other because the praying of a people for his friend is easily to grant by God.. And The most difficult is to sacrifice our properties to other people.
Imam Al Gazzalli said that” There are 3 types people in their sacrificing to other people. 1. They feel their friend is slave. Its mean Their friend must always complete they need
2. they feel their friend is themselves. Its mean they always help each other to get same goal
3. They feel Their friend is the noble people, untill they want to sacrifice their object.”

The beautiful brotherhood in islam can be the sturdy brotherhood. We can read the story about friendship of muhajirin and anshor. Especially story between Sa’ad bin Rabi and Abdurrahman bin ‘Auf.”My brother, I am a resident of medina. You may choose my properties and you may married with someone of my wive.”Said Abdurrahman to Sa’ad bin Rabi, Abdurrahman wanted to do it, because he wanted to help Sa’ad.

From that story, We can fell the strong brotherhood between Anshar and Muhajirin. A friendship with the noble heart will be many memories forever. And relationship that simply just to get ridho Allah SWT. It is not to get something, but just to get ridho Allah.

So we as the muslim must feel the sense of brotherhood in islam because with the friendship we will be the good people or hero in The world and also in the eternity.
