United for Allah (SWT) –
After visiting the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, the Companions from Medina, the Helpers, may Allah be pleased with them, took another pledge of obedience with him. One of the Companions from Medina, may Allah be pleased with him, voiced his concern that he feared that when Allah, the Exalted, granted victory to the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, he would return to Mecca and leave the Companions from Medina, may Allah be pleased with them. This could cause problems for them especially after supporting the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, against countless enemies. At this the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, smiled and replied that if they blood was sought by their enemies then that would be the same as if his blood was sought. And their defeat would be his defeat. He promised to battle those who battled against them and make peace with those who they made peace with. He concluded that he was from them and they were from him. This has been discussed in Imam Ibn Kathir’s, the Life of the Prophet, Volume 2, Page 134.
With the passing of time many people become divided and lose the strong connection they once had with one another. There are many causes of this but a major cause is the foundation on which their connection was formed by their parents and relatives. It is commonly known that when the foundation of a building is weak the building will either get damaged over time or even collapse. Similarly, when the foundation of bonds connecting people are not correct the bonds between them will eventually weaken or even break. When the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, brought the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, together he formed the bonds between them for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. Whereas, most Muslims today bring people together for the sake of tribalism, brotherhood and to show off to other families. Even though, the majority of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, were not related but as the foundation of the bonds connecting them was correct namely, for the sake of Allah, the Exalted, their bonds grew from strength to strength. Whereas, many Muslims nowadays are related by blood yet, with the passing of time become separated as the foundation of their bonds was based on falsehood namely, tribalism and similar things.
Muslims must understand that if desire for their bonds to endure and to earn reward for fulfilling the important duty of upholding the ties of kinship and the rights of non-relatives then they must only forge bonds for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. The foundation of this is that people only connect with one another and act together in a way which is pleasing to Allah, the Exalted. This has been commanded in the Holy Quran. Chapter 5 Al Ma’idah, verse 2:
“…And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression…”
