إِنَّمَا
الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ
Inna
ma-'l mu'minoona Ikhwah..
Surely
the believers are nothing but Ikhwah
- Brothers... [Surah
Hujurat 49:10]
Ikhwah
[ إخوَه]
is different to Ikhwaan [ إخوَان].
Ikhwaan
[ إخوَان]
refers to Brothers at a general level, i.e. Unity between people.
ie. friends might call themselves brothers because of
closeness.
Ikhwah[إخوَه]
refers to Blood
brothers.
You're tied by one Mother.
This is the type of relationship Allah is describing the believers
with.
Between
blood brothers, there are alot of disputes and differences and
sometimes even arguments. But even if you fight, when someone else
comes to annoy him - you will support your brother against an
outsider. This is the type of relationship Allah
is describing for us; that us
believers - we might disagree with our brothers sometimes, but when
it comes to outsiders - believers will unite as one family to support
each other.
If
you believe other believers are brothers, then we should show it
locally to the believers, no matter what background or race they are
from.
Islam isn't just ideas, but it's close Brotherhood and a
good Personality.
فَأَلَّفَ
بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ
faAl-lafa
bayna quloobikum -
And
He United/put
Love
between your hearts [aal Imran 3:103].
If
you do not feel love to the good believers, then maybe Allah has not
made you a strong believer, and that is why you don't love them?
Your love and emotions should be based on what Allah
loves.
The foundation of Da'wah is Brotherhood.
A
Brotherhood Scenario:
Imagine:
A team playing basketball.
If
one team has players who argue and disagree with each other - causing
fighting between them.
While
another team is working united and put aside their differences -
working hard for a Common Cause.
Which
team will win?Answer:
The one which is united.
The
Main United Mission of the Believers
is: Da'wah
(Inviting others to Islam).
The
Muslim Community takes advantage of each others Talents, and work in
Unity on Different Aspects of the da'wah. This strengthens our da'wah
[inviting to Islam], and it enhances the Productivity in our Da'wah
because many people are focusing on the field of their speciality,
and excelling that area of the Da'wah. Working together as brothers
will make the whole project a success insha' Allah.
The
Da'ee [Inviter] should have:
a
- Good Speech - saying the right thing.
b - Good Action - good
actions which support what you say of good.
The
Qur'an talks of 3
Types of Da'wah;
1
-to
Majority of People / Masses.
- this message is simple / straighforward / full of good advice to
make peoples lives better.
Good
Advice:
should Bring peace individually, and socially | Good Counsel/Advice =
al Maw'iDa al Hasanah.
2
-Leaders
of a Society [Intellectual
Elite
in all fields - the Think Tank of society.] (al Mala'):
Good
Advice is not good enough with them. They need Professional Scholarly
Intellectual and Convincing
responses.http://linguisticmiracle.com:2082/frontend/x3/filemanager/index.html?dirselect=ftproot&domainselect=linguisticmiracle.com&dir=%2Fhome%2Flinguist%2Fpublic_ftp
Social
Fear of Islam:
When
the masses of general people, and really influential people become
Muslims, society starts to get afraid.
Why? Because Islam
calls for Justice. And who hates Justice? People who take advantage
of Injustice.
i.e. Alcohol companies, Gambling companies. Etc.
Which gain billions of dollars through injustice.
So these
types of companies who take advantage of injustice and corruption
will be at the forefront in trying to block out the Just/Fair message
of Islam.
What
will they do as a Result of Fear?
They
will bring forward talkers/intellectuals who discredit Islam. On TV,
on News, media etc.
This keeps the masses of people rejecting
the good advice the believers would give.
3
-Specialized
in Debate Da'ee.
This
Da'ee will reply to the false 'intellectuals' against Islam.
We
need specialized Du'aat in specific fields of Da'wah, through
Brotherhood and Unity for organization of our Da'wah
activities.
