Allah is telling the Muslims to always be brotherly towards one another…to consistently be the Allies of one another via al-Islām. Allah establishes clearly, that it’s impossible for the Muslims to be united upon anything if not Guidance. The Habl/Rope-Of-Allah is the Hidāyah/Guidance of al-Islām by default/definition.
The Specialized-Relationship between Fellow-Muslims is that whatever we do, it directly/indirectly effects each other positively or negatively. However, unfortunately, Most-Muslims don’t care that our Character/Behavior affects us…Apathy is worse than Ignorance.
This-Video speaks directly to all the Aforementioned Islāmic-Ideals, via The Qur’ān & the Sunnah/Prophetic-Tradition. The Urgency via the Video, regarding Communal-Responsibility/Accountability, is 💯% Spot-On Accurate/Honest. We must be responsible&accoutable to each other. This is totally necessary, in order to formulate Genuine-Bonds with one another. One of the Reasons why so/too many Muslims don’t wish to belong to a Jamā`ah (Communal-Unit) is because they fon’t want to be responsible/accountable to Others. Also, equally, they don’t want to be connected to any Jamā`ah is the Fear of being Victims/Casualties of al-Istikbār/Judgmentalism.
This is literally amongst the Reasons how/why there’s so many Muslims whom join Gangs, Religio-Sectarian Groups, Religio-Extremists Groups/Terrorist-Organizations, etc.: they’re pursuing a Sense of Fraternity which is nonexistent via the Muslim-Communities they’re from. We as Muslims, must be aware of this & cease pretending that it isn’t a Reality. These Gangs&Groups provide the Illusion-Of-Inclusion for Countless-Muslims yearning for Belonging.
If we truly love for Fellow-Muslims what we’d love for ourselves, then it’s totally incumbent upon each/all of us to facilitate Safe-Spaces. Meaning, Spaces which’re welcoming for Muslims regardless of how Sinful of a Muslim they may be. I mean, afterall, as I always tell People: It’s easy to judge People, when our Sins aren’t Public-Knowledge. We must create Atmospheres which cultivate & fosture Islāmic-Fraternity.
