Too often we hear how a city is so nice to live in, but “if only its Muslim community was more united.” Many of the main problems Muslims face today are: racism, prejudice, sexism, backbiting, rumors, and other diseases that cause communities to be disunited.
How can we save our communities? The Quran always has answers to our problems. What can our community learn from God’s book to be strong and united as one?
These four verses in Surah Al Hujurat explain how, individually, we each can help unite the Muslim community.
“The believers are a single brotherhood, so make reconciliation between your brothers, and be mindful of God so you can receive mercy.”
“O you who believe! Don’t let some men among you make fun of other men, for it may be that the (ones who are being made fun of) are better than the (ones making fun of them). And don’t let some women among you make fun of other women, either, for it may be that the (ones who are being made fun of) are better than the (ones making fun of them). Don’t damage each other’s reputations nor be sarcastic with each other, and don’t call each other by cruel nicknames. It’s terrible to use an insulting nickname for someone after he’s become a believer. Whoever doesn’t stop this practice is doing wrong.”
