LOVE FOR FELLOW MUSLIMS

On the authority of Abu Humzah Anas ibn Maalik, the servant of the Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam), from the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) who said, “None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” [Recorded in Bukhari and Muslim] “None of you [truly] believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” For a person to have true and complete faith, the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) instructed us that we should love for our brother, that is for all our fellow Muslims, what we love for ourselves. If we are unable to realise this sentiment, then our faith is incomplete. This is further illustrated in another hadith of the Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) in which he (SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said: “Whoever loves to be saved from the Fire and entered into Paradise should die with belief in Allah and the Last Day, and should treat people in the way that he wished to be treated by them.”
