One of the secrets behind the happy and placid lives of true believers is the warm brotherhood
and solidarity among them.
Any behavior that might harm this unity and solidarity is a violation of the moral values described
in the Quran.
Indeed, God warns believers against this danger in these words.
Obey God and his messenger and do not quarrel among yourselves, lest you lose heart and
your momentum disappears.
To be steadfast, God is with the steadfast.
Emotions such as discord, friction, enmity, and hatred are examples of poor moral values
that need to be avoided.
Sincere Muslims never conduct themselves under the influence of these undesirable feelings.
They fear God and are always modest, friendly, thoughtful, and full of love in their relations.
As a requirement of the stipulation in the Quran, believers scrupulously avoid any words or actions
that might hurt their Muslim brothers, but exhibit behavior that will further increase the love and trust among them.
A hadith of our prophet on this subject is as follows.
The habits of earlier generations have attacked you, envy and hatred.
Hatred is shaving.
You will not enter paradise till you believe.
You will not believe till you love one another.
Shall I not inform you what thing will establish you on it?
Spread peace among you.
Any dispute or falling out among believers will weaken them and damage the atmosphere of peace.
In fact, in one verse of the Quran, we are told that unless believers act as one another's guardians,
in other words, as their friends and protectors, there will be corruption on earth.
Those who do not believe are the friends and protectors of one another.
If you do not act in this way, there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption.
Even if a believer holds a different opinion to that of another believer, he or she must
still employ a reconciliatory, modest and respectful style.
These different ideas will thus remain at the consultative level and will never grow into
an argument.
In one verse, God issues the following commandment with regard to how believers should behave towards
one another.
The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and fear God, so that hopefully
you will gain mercy.
