Know that every Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim.

We are all but equals.

No one has superiority over any other person,

except by piety and good deeds."

 
ALL OF YOU, O Believers, are Brethren, hence...
 

Therefore, whenever the Believers are at odds,

 make peace between your two brothers,

and remain conscious of God,
 
so that you might be graced with His Mercy.
 

And, hold fast, all together, unto the bond with Allah,

 and do not draw apart from one another.

 
And, remember the blessings which God has bestowed upon you.

 
How, when you were enemies, He brought your hearts together.
 
So that through His blessing, you became Brethren.

 
And how, when you were on the brink of a fiery abyss,
 
He saved you from it.


Indeed, as for those who have broken the unity of their faith,

 and have become divided -  have nothing to do with them. 


Behold, their case rests with God.
 

And, in time, He will make them understand

what they were doing.


 And, do not allow your oaths in the

name of God to become an obstacle to virtue,

and God consciousness,

and the promotion of peace between people.


 
God makes clear His Messages unto you,

so that you might find Guidance...

to lead you out of the Deep Darkness into the Light.



Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim,

 and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood.
 


 O our Sustainer!
 
We believe in what You have bestowed from on High,

and we follow this Apostle,
 
O Holy Prophet Muhammad,

make us One, then,

with all who bear witness to the Truth. 


...And in that state of happiness,

they will call out, "Limitless art Thou in Thy Glory,

O, God!"

And, they will be answered with the greeting,

"Peace!"

And, their call will close with the words,

"All praise is due to God,

The Sustainer of All the Worlds!"


( Last Sermon of the Prophet, Qur'an 24:61, 49:10, 6:159,
 2:224, 3:103, 2:21, The Prophet's Last Sermon, 10:10 and 3:53)

Amen
