The Importance of Unity of Word and Solidarity

Question:
We ask you, Shaykh Salih, to speak to us about the importance of unity of word and solidarity, and their impact on the life of society.

Answer:
Benefits are not realized and harms are not averted except by adhering to obedience and sticking to the community, for this is what guarantees benefits for society and repels harms from them. . . This is part of Allah’s mercy toward His servants that He makes them a flock and appoints a shepherd from among them, and He commands them to obey Allah and to look after their interests. The danger today is severe because these means of communication have brought much evil and doubts to people, so we must be wary of them and be wary of them, and we must protect our children from their evil, yes.
