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.
