“Hold on <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Rope</strong> <strong>of</strong> Allaah all <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r and do not divide”<br />
(3:103)<br />
From <strong>the</strong> Qualities <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> People <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Truth:<br />
Being diligent upon joining <strong>the</strong> people and ga<strong>the</strong>ring<br />
<strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r upon <strong>the</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> Allaah and <strong>the</strong> Sunnah<br />
<strong>of</strong> His Messenger (may peace be upon him) and being<br />
distant from dividing and splitting is a quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> truth. So when an individual calls <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Book and <strong>the</strong> Sunnah, <strong>the</strong>n he is (actually) a caller <strong>to</strong><br />
unity and <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>rness. This is what joins and unites <strong>the</strong><br />
people. Therefore, calling <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> Allaah and <strong>the</strong><br />
Sunnah <strong>of</strong> His Messenger (may peace be upon him) is in<br />
itself <strong>the</strong> call <strong>to</strong> unity and <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>rness. This is because<br />
if <strong>the</strong> people have knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Book and <strong>the</strong><br />
Sunnah and work by <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>the</strong>y will come <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
(upon that), connect with each o<strong>the</strong>r, love one ano<strong>the</strong>r,<br />
become bro<strong>the</strong>rs and cooperate with each o<strong>the</strong>r. This is<br />
because <strong>the</strong> Book <strong>of</strong> Allaah and <strong>the</strong> Sunnah join <strong>the</strong><br />
hearts and connect <strong>the</strong> souls.<br />
