السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحَمْةُ اللَّهِ وَبَركاتُهُ

  Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته اهلا وسهلا

I pray that this reaches you in the best of health and Eeman.

Every Muslim needs a helpful, loving brother to turn to, to share joys and hardships with, and to reciprocate affection.

“And appoint for me a helper from my family: Haroon [Aaron], my brother. Increase my strength with him, and let him share my task [of conveying Allah’s Message and Prophethood]. That we may glorify You much, And remember You much.” Surah Ta-Ha – Ayahs 29 to 34.

“They are but Awliya [friends, protectors, helpers, etc.] to one another.” Surah Al-Ma’idah – Ayah 51.

“Verily, Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in rows [ranks] as if they were a solid structure.” Surah As-Saff – Ayah 4.

“And He has united their [i.e. believers’] hearts.” Surah Al-Anfal – Ayah 63.

“The believers are nothing else than brothers [in Islamic religion].” Surah Al-Hujurat – Ayah 10.

The topic we are now discussing is pertinent to the subject matter of this book because having a good and worthy companion brings joy to the heart. The Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam related that Allah, said:

“Where are the ones who love each other because of My Exaltedness (i.e. who love each other for the sake of Allah)? Today I will provide shade for them in My shade - a day wherein there is no shade except for My shade.”

Wasalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu
