Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is Ibrahim Yasin from Jeddah. He says: What is the meaning of Allah the Exalted’s saying:
The believers are but brothersإِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ
[Al-Hujurat 49:10]


Answer:
Yes, they are brothers in religion
The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothersإِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ
[Al-Hujurat 49:10]
. So the believers are brothers in religion,
Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faithرَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ
[Al-Hashr 59:10]
, so the believers are brothers from the first creation to the last, until the Hour comes. They are brothers in religion, and this is stronger than brotherhood by blood. They support one another in what is good and what is right, and they love one another, and so on, of the noble and good qualities.

May Allah reward you,
