00:00.000 --> 00:22.280
One of the secrets behind the happy and placid lives of true believers is the warm brotherhood

00:22.280 --> 00:23.820
and solidarity among them.

00:23.820 --> 00:31.580
Any behavior that might harm this unity and solidarity is a violation of the moral values described

00:31.580 --> 00:34.580
in the Quran.

00:34.580 --> 00:42.260
Indeed, God warns believers against this danger in these words.

00:42.260 --> 00:49.420
Obey God and his messenger and do not quarrel among yourselves, lest you lose heart and

00:49.420 --> 00:52.700
your momentum disappears.

00:52.700 --> 01:03.360
To be steadfast, God is with the steadfast.

01:03.360 --> 01:09.480
Emotions such as discord, friction, enmity, and hatred are examples of poor moral values

01:09.480 --> 01:11.720
that need to be avoided.

01:11.720 --> 01:17.480
Sincere Muslims never conduct themselves under the influence of these undesirable feelings.

01:17.480 --> 01:24.240
They fear God and are always modest, friendly, thoughtful, and full of love in their relations.

01:24.240 --> 01:31.140
As a requirement of the stipulation in the Quran, believers scrupulously avoid any words or actions

01:31.140 --> 01:37.900
that might hurt their Muslim brothers, but exhibit behavior that will further increase the love and trust among them.

01:37.900 --> 01:41.800
A hadith of our prophet on this subject is as follows.

01:41.800 --> 01:50.460
The habits of earlier generations have attacked you, envy and hatred.

01:50.460 --> 01:52.460
Hatred is shaving.

01:52.460 --> 01:55.220
You will not enter paradise till you believe.

01:55.220 --> 01:59.220
You will not believe till you love one another.

01:59.220 --> 02:03.120
Shall I not inform you what thing will establish you on it?

02:03.120 --> 02:09.460
Spread peace among you.

02:09.460 --> 02:15.780
Any dispute or falling out among believers will weaken them and damage the atmosphere of peace.

02:15.780 --> 02:24.440
In fact, in one verse of the Quran, we are told that unless believers act as one another's guardians,

02:24.440 --> 02:31.440
in other words, as their friends and protectors, there will be corruption on earth.

02:31.440 --> 02:36.880
Those who do not believe are the friends and protectors of one another.

02:36.880 --> 02:44.440
If you do not act in this way, there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption.

02:44.440 --> 02:52.880
Even if a believer holds a different opinion to that of another believer, he or she must

02:52.880 --> 02:58.700
still employ a reconciliatory, modest and respectful style.

02:58.700 --> 03:04.080
These different ideas will thus remain at the consultative level and will never grow into

03:04.080 --> 03:05.640
an argument.

03:05.640 --> 03:11.720
In one verse, God issues the following commandment with regard to how believers should behave towards

03:11.720 --> 03:16.220
one another.

03:16.220 --> 03:25.480
The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and fear God, so that hopefully

03:25.480 --> 03:26.880
you will gain mercy.
